Galatasaray star Marcão didn't get off to the best start for the 2021-22 Süper Lig season on Monday.
The 25-year-old defender was sent off the pitch in the second half of Galatasaray's match against Giresunspor, though the referee's decision to end Marcão afternoon didn't stem from an altercation with an opponent. Rather, Marcão was ejected for fighting his own teammate, forward Kerem Akturkoglu.
Marcão appeared to take exception to a comment from Akturkoglu in the 61st minute during Monday's match. Marcão then approached Akturkoglu and head-butted him, concluding the incident with multiple attempted punches before being pulled away by Galatasaray teammates.
