Alessandro Bianco hit a “Sivasspor” fan in the face.

In the 89th minute, after Castrovili scored the last goal of the game, two fans entered the pitch, one of whom punched the visiting player Alessandro Bianco in the face.

After the match in Turkey, Bianco posted a photo on Instagram showing the effects of the blow.

The coaches of the two teams talked about this moment at the end of the game.

“I am very upset. I mean I’m really disgusting. A fan hit Bianko and broke his nose. It is very embarrassing. Despite the win, I can’t think about anything else. He is only 20 years old. I consider this a reprehensible incident. Of course, our player did not expect this. I understand the support of the fans of my team, but I think this incident spoiled the whole game” – Vincenzo Italiano, coach of Fiorentina.

“First of all, I apologize to all Italians. Something happened that should not have happened. I have never experienced anything like this in Sivas. We are very sorry” – Riza Kalimbai, coach of “Sivasspor”.
