The official involved has ben quoted as saying:
It was alleged that a member of Istanbul's coaching staff was involved in an incident and to point him out to the referee
Coltescu used one of the descriptions above.

Istanbul forward Demba Ba, who was a substitute, could be seen on the touchline asking the official: "Why, when you mention a black guy, do you have to say this black guy?" |
Coltescu used one of the descriptions above.
