Fenerbahce- Shakhtar meeting invaded by Turkish fans
Hundreds of Fenerbahce fans invaded the field during a friendly against Ukrainian champion Shakhtar Donetsk, forcing the abandonment of the game, The Boston Globe writes.
Media representatives were evacuated from the stadium after being abused by fans who are angry at media coverage of a match-fixing probe that implicated Yildirim and Fenerbahce along with some other club officials and players, newspapers said Friday.
The game came hours after Yildirim said in a letter that he would step down.
