In a moment of pain, football renders itself a tender relief for a short period once again. This time the protagonist is Yasin Oztekin, who lead his team to success with a hatrick when Galatasary took on Gaziantepspor. Lazio fans might remember for the goal he scored at the Olimpico last February when Lazio won 3-1.
Istanbul is a fantastic city unfortunately harmed by the tension within. The latest event lead to death of 38, in the shape of a double terrorist attack. The majority of victims were law enforcers, 30 police officers were killed and 8 civillians. For this reason at the first of his three goals, Oztekin celebrated by raising the military salute and then hugged three police officers who were supervising the match as a sign of condolences for their fallen colleagues.
The lovely picture was taken by Ali Kemertas. Maybe, the best way to respond to terror is through these gestures of love.
