Two-capped Super Eagles midfielder Ibrahim Olawoyin has hit out at the officiating after receiving a controversial red card in Rizespor\u2019s 3-2 loss to Fenerbah\u00e7e, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exit of Olawoyin in the first half of the clash at the \u015e\u00fckr\u00fc Saraco\u011flu Stadium proved decisive in the outcome of the match.<\/p>\n

Rizespor had taken a comfortable 2-0 lead before a controversial penalty call by VAR against Olawoyin shifted the momentum in favour of Jose Mourinho\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian was adjudged to have committed a foul inside the box, which led to a penalty converted by Edin D\u017eeko.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, Olawoyin was shown a second yellow card, which reduced \u0130lhan Palut\u2019s men to ten. With that advantage, Fenerbah\u00e7e completed the comeback, with D\u017eeko equalising in the 79th minute before Youssef En-Nesyri sealed the win.<\/p>\n

In the game, former Manchester United player, Sofyan Amrabat, had earlier pushed a player similar to that of the Nigerian, but no decision was made.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the decision shared by lemarcaspors<\/a>, Olawoyin expressed his frustration as he questioned the referee\u2019s consistency in applying the rules.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe red card was a very funny card. I fell on the first card, but it was not a deceptive move. The second yellow card was not a penalty. You give a penalty and a red card, so why don\u2019t you look at [Sofyan] Amrabat\u2019s move then?\u201d Olawoyin said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ibrahim Olawoyin: \u201cK\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 kart \u00e7ok komik bir kartt\u0131. \u0130lk kartta d\u00fc\u015ft\u00fcm ama aldatmaya y\u00f6nelik hareket de\u011fildi. \u0130kinci sar\u0131 kartta pozisyon penalt\u0131 de\u011fildi. Penalt\u0131 ve k\u0131rm\u0131z\u0131 kart veriyorsunuz peki neden o zaman Amrabat\u2019\u0131n hareketine bakm\u0131yorsunuz?\u201d

Galatasaray had earlier condemned the Turkish Football Federation<\/a> over similar calls for playing a key role in seeing Fenerbahce close the gap with them at the top of the table.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
