A surprising moment of drama unfolded during the Turkish Cup match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, as Jose Mourinho was caught on camera addressing Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk in a heated manner. The Portuguese manager took it a step further, pinching Buruk's nose, leaving the opposing coach stunned.

The unexpected gesture prompted Buruk to momentarily fall to the ground, but he quickly regained his composure and sprang to his feet to confront Mourinho. Despite the tension, Galatasaray's focus remained on the game, thanks in large part to Victor Osimhen's heroics. The Nigerian striker scored twice in the first half, propelling his team to victory.
