Super Eagles right-back, Bright Osayi-Samuel, was forced to defend himself, as Trabzonspor fans ran on to the field and attacked Fenerbahce players after Sunday’s Super Lig match.

Fenerbahce won 3-2 and Osayi-Samuel and his Fenerbahce teammates were met with violence as they celebrated the victory.

That saw the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations silver medal winner forced to protect himself, punching a supporter as even more fans came onto the pitch.

Footage showed the 26-year-old at the centre of the chaos. One clip on social media shows the Nigerian pursuing a fan before delivering a punch to the face, leaving the masked supporter flat on the turf.

Tensions started to rise in the 87th minute when objects were thrown on to the field after former Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi scored what proved to be the winner for visiting side Fenerbahce.
