Turkish FA fines Lawal €2,500

Turkish Federation Professional Football
Disciplinary Committee (PFDK) has fined
Nigeria international Raheem Lawal 6,500
Turkish Lira (about €2,500) following his
dismissal in the penultimate round of
matches in the First League.
The Mersin İdmanyurdu midfielder scored
after 9 minutes against Manisaspor, but
was later shown a straight red card by
referee Abdullah Yilmaz just before the
end of the first half.
In addition to the financial penalty,
Raheem Lawal has been suspended for
one match, according to a release by the
PFDK.
Prior to the incident on September 14, the
23 – year – old midfielder had never taken
the walk of shame in his last three years
as a professional footballer.
