One killed, 50 injured in a frienship game

The Anatolian news agency said a 23-year-old Karsiyaka fan died in hospital after being stabbed. Police detained five people.

Eight police officers were among the 50 injured, the NTV television channel said. A Goztepe fan who was also stabbed was being treated in hospital.

"We will take very hard and strong measures to avoid such saddening events and stop them happening again," city police chief Halil Tatas was quoted as saying.

Violence is frequent among passionate Turkish fans and police regularly confiscate weapons, ranging from lighters to kebab cleavers.
