Fenerbahce’s Mourinho has four-match ban halved after appeal
ANKARA: Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho’s four-match suspension has been halved by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) following a review of the club’s appeal. Mourinho was handed a fine and the ban over his comments about Turkish referees after a game at rivals Galatasaray, where he criticized the match officials in a press conference following the 0-0 Super Lig draw on Monday. The TFF fined the 62-year-old Portuguese 1.6 million Turkish lira ($43,963.89) but that was reduced to 558,500. The penalties were due to “derogatory and offensive statements toward the Turkish referee” and accusations of chaos and disorder in Turkish football, according to the TFF. The TFF said Mourinho’s remarks violated sports ethics, promoted violence and disorder and could incite fan incidents. Monday’s game was refereed by Slovenian Slavko Vincic after both clubs requested a foreign official take charge. Fenerbahce issued a statement on Tuesday defending Mourinho, saying his comments were taken out of context and deliberately distorted. Former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur manager Mourinho has previously been fined and suspended for his comments about Turkish match officials. On Friday, Fenerbahce said Mourinho filed a lawsuit against Galatasaray after they accused him of making racist statements. The Portuguese manager will return for Fenerbahce’s Super Lig match against Samsunspor on March 16. Fenerbahce are second in Turkiye’s Super Lig, six points behind fellow Istanbul side Galatasaray.
Real Madrid lose at Betis as Isco spearheads a 2-1 comeback win over former team
BARCELONA: Real Madrid stumbled in the three-way race for the Spanish league title as Isco Alarcón guided Real Betis to a 2-1 comeback win over the defending champion on Saturday. The former Madrid player delivered a corner kick that was headed in by fellow midfielder Johnny Cardoso in the 34th minute, canceling out Brahim Díaz’s opener for Madrid. Isco then put Betis ahead from the penalty spot in the 54th after he passed to Jesús Rodríguez and Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger knocked the Betis forward down in the area. Madrid’s loss left them level on points with Barcelona, which host Real Sociedad on Sunday. Atletico Madrid are one point behind before they play fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao later on Saturday. Kylian Mbappé was back starting for Madrid after missing one game because of a dental problem.
