Hundreds of fans of football league champions Besiktas and domestic cup winners Atiker brawled on the pitch late on Sunday in the Black Sea city of Samsun, following Atiker's 2-1 victory in the Turkish Super Cup.
Supporters of Atiker, the main team from Turkey's central Anatolian province of Konya, chanted slogans accusing Besiktas and its fans of links to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). Fans of Besiktas, an Istanbul side whose supporters include a vocal leftist element, responded with a song aimed at the rival fans from Turkey’s conservative heartland. The two groups rushed onto the field and fought after the final whistle.
