Fenerbahce and Besiktas will complete the remaining 33 minutes of their abandoned Turkish FA Cup semifinal clash next Thursday.
Fenerbahce and Besiktas drew 2-2 in March’s first leg but were unable to finish the return fixture at the Sucru Saracoglu Stadium on April 23 as trouble in the stands spread to the benches and the tunnel.
Referee Mete Kalkavan abandoned the semifinal second leg following a mass brawl, which saw Fenerbahçe fans throwing objects onto the pitch after an argument with visiting team players on the bench around the 50th minute of the goalless match.
Beşiktaş coach Şenol Güneş suffered a head injury from a projectile hurled by the home fans at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
Thirty-one people were detained over the events during the derby.
According to a statement on Fenerbahce’s website, the Turkish Football Federation has now ordered the remainder of the tie to be played behind closed doors on Thursday, May 3.
Akhisar Belediyespor, who knocked out Super Lig leaders Galatasaray, await the winners in the final, which is scheduled to be contested on Tuesday, May
