Turkey’s Super Lig resumed officially on Friday with two games played behind closed doors, after a nearly three-month suspension because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The first game was played in Istanbul between Fenerbahce and Kayserispor at 1800 GMT, and the other in western Turkey between Goztepe and Trabzonspor who are currently at the top of the championship.
The Turkish Football Federation announced the championship’s suspension on March 19 as coronavirus spread across the world. Although the games will be played behind closed doors, the TFF appeared optimistic fans could return in the coming weeks “if the situation improves”. Galatasaray’s charismatic manager Fatih Terim and former international goalkeeper Rustu Recber, star of the 2002 World Cup, were taken to hospital but later recovered.
