World Cup
Turkish fan shoots at TV as Yilmaz misses a penalty
Burak Yilmaz’s missed penalty in the 85th minute of the Portugal-Turkey game was enough to arm the hand of a Turkish fan, who pointed a gun at the TV and shot at it.
Burak Yilmaz threw away a huge chance to on the one hand score a second goal between Portugal and Turkey and on the other hand equalize for his team in the 85th minute to make it 2-2.
Specifically, the 36-year-old took the penalty, but sent the ball up, with the result that it hit the crossbar and then went wide.
In addition to the disappointment, there were also the most extreme reactions: A video published on social media shows a Turkish fan marking the television with his gun while Yilmaz takes the penalty.
When the leader of Turkey failed in the white parliament, he shot the TV and completely destroyed it.
Fernando Santos’ team punished Turkey with a third goal (3-1) and thus qualified for the final stages of the World Cup. In fact, this development led to the Lille forward leaving the national team and announcing it at the end of the game.
