There had been a minor confrontation involving several players after just 12 seconds.
What Brown and Bardakci said
Brown later told journalists in the tunnel, while showing a scratch wound: "Your captain pulled Matteo Guendouzi's hair. I saw it and defended him. They scratched as well."
Abdülkerim Bardakci said Archie Brown had acted aggressively first and that he had merely defended himself: "If you watch the video, you'll see who attacked first."
