During an amateur playoff football match in Istanbul, goalkeeper Muhammet Uyanik accidentally struck a low-flying seagull mid-air. The bird fell unconscious, and Istanbul Yurdum Spor's captain, Gani Catan, performed emergency CPR, reviving it before handing it to medical staff. The seagull reportedly suffered a damaged wing. Despite the team's loss in the match, Catan emphasized that saving the bird's life was more important than the championship.
