The bill of the giant derby created controversy: Here are the historical penalties given by PFDK...

Turkish Football Federation (TFF) Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) announced its decisions regarding the football players who were referred to discipline after the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby played in the 9th week of the Trendyol Super League. The board gave a 2-match ban to Galatasaray's Abdülkerim Bardakcı and a 3-match ban to Fenerbahçe's Archie Brown.

It was announced by the Professional Football Disciplinary Board that Abdülkerim Bardakcı from Galatasaray and Archie Brown from Fenerbahçe were referred due to Article 44 of the Football Disciplinary Instruction, namely "attack". According to the Football Disciplinary Instruction, the two football players were expected to be punished for 5 to 10 matches, and the penalties given were on the agenda.

However, these penalties given for the events after the derby brought back to the agenda the sanctions imposed in Turkish football in the past due to similar disciplinary violations.
