Soccer-Fenerbahce players walk off after one minute to concede Turkish Super Cup

April 7 (Reuters) - Fenerbahce's players walked off the
pitch after one minute of Sunday's Turkish Super Cup match
against Galatasaray, forcing the game to be abandoned and
conceding the trophy.
Fenerbahce, who played with their Under-19 team, withdrew
from the match in Sanliurfa after Galatasaray's Argentine
striker Mauro Icardi scored.
The move appeared to be part of a protest after Fenerbahce
in March had considered withdrawing from the league after their
players were attacked by Trabzonspor fans during a match.
