The Turkey Football Federation have ordered the replay of Trabzonspor and Sivasspor game behind closed doors after their game in the season's opener was canceled because of crowd violence.

It all started following a harsh tackle from Trabzon Egyptian midfielder Ayman Abdul-Aziz on Sivassspor Israeli midfielder Pini Balili. The players exchanged some strikes then the fans invaded the pitch. The referee was left with no choice except to call the game off.

At that time, Trabzonspor were leading 1-0. The TFF didn't fix a new date for the game to be played.

Ayman Abdul-Azizi's side is now fourth of the Turkish table with 7 points.
