Ankaragücü and Galatasaray met on Sunday in the match of the 26th stage of the Turkish Super League, and the visitors won the match, managing to win 3-0.

Olimpiu Morutan caught a bottle aimed at a Galatasaray player – Ankaragücü lost the match 3-0

With Olimpiu Morutsan in the starting 11, Galatasaray had no problems in the match at Eryaman Stadium and scored all the goals from the first half.

Kerem Demirbay opened the scoring in the 13th minute, and a minute later Davinson Sanchez increased the guests’ lead.

Of course, Mauro Icardi also scored, converting from 11 meters (39 minutes) to take his tally to 14 goals this season.

But the time of the evening had nothing to do with the score on the table. Angry that his team was being led, the fan threw a bottle onto the field, which was aimed at Berkan Kutla. Olimpiu Morutan was present and rushed to catch the bottle, thus protecting the visiting player.

The gesture quickly went viral on Twitter, and Morutan became a hero to Turkish fans in no time.

“This is a gesture of fair play, not of the year, but of the century. Thank you, Morutan!”

“Without a doubt, it was a special moment of the match. That reflex you showed to your colleague will never be forgotten.”

“The most beautiful move of the evening.”

“He would have smashed Berkan’s head if Morutan had not caught the bottle thrown from the stand.”

“We will not forget this gesture, Morutan!” – wrote Turkish fans.
