Fenerbahce fans make graffiti of Bright Osayi-Samuel punching pitch invader

Fenerbahce supporters have created a mural to celebrate Bright Osayi-Samuel’s heroics following the violent outbreak in the Turkiye Super Lig clash against Trabzonspor.

The graffiti depicted the iconic image of the Nigerian defender pinning a pitch invader to the ground and making a motion to swing at him. 

The street art was made in Fenerbahce colours, bright yellow and deep blue, and had the following caption, “fight like your fans,” underscoring his ascent into becoming a cult hero amongst the fanbase of the Turkish giants.

Fenerbahce's 3-2 win over Trabzonspor in the Super Lig two days ago turned into a chaotic scene as jubilant celebrations led to violent clashes with pitch-invading fans.

Following their hard-fought victory on Trabzonspor’s home ground, Fenerbahce players gathered in the centre of the pitch to celebrate. However, their jubilation was short-lived as a lone Trabzonspor supporter breached the field to provoke the players. Security intervened, but the situation quickly escalated as fans flooded onto the pitch.

Fenerbahce players made their way into the dressing room, but in a show of revolt, Osayi-Samuel confronted one of the invaders, landing a punch that sent him to the ground.

As Pulse Sports reported, Fenerbahce's fans, recognizing Osayi-Samuel's bravery, rallied behind him as the team returned to Istanbul. 

Chants of his name echoed through the air, accompanied by gestures of admiration and support from the devoted supporters. He had now had a mural of the moment plastered on a wall in the city.
