Another Euro 2016 game, another set of fans covering themselves in glory.
Whether it’s Russians rampaging across the terraces, English supporters scrapping in the streets or protesting Croatian fans lobbing flares at ground staff, we’ve seen the ugly side of football fandom all too often at this tournament.
This time it was Turkish fans under the spotlight for questionable behaviour…yet again.
With security tightened around games and fears of further terrorist atrocities just beneath the surface of the tournament in France, incidents of flares being lit in the stands are not going down well.
Turkish fans have already had the finger pointed for using flares in their previous two games – including during the 3-0 defeat against Spain.
Needing to win by a four goal margin to qualify ahead of Northern Ireland, it was game on in their third fixture against the Czech Republic when Ozan Tufan put them 2-0 up to keep the dream alive.
It was a sumptuous finish. But as the Turkish fans behind the goal went wild, some ruined the moment and lobbed lit flares onto the pitch.
GOAL! Ozan Tufan rifles the ball past Cech to double Turkey's lead. Party time #CZETUR #EURO2016 https://t.co/99FKyhjeV8
