Besiktas striker Kevin-Prince Boateng says the Istanbul derby against Galatasary on Sunday "was different" as fans were not allowed to the stadium due the coronavirus outbreak.
The game was played behind closed doors and it ended goalless.
The pandemic has spread to more than 100 countries forcing majority of the European football leagues to be suspended.
Turkey and a few others active this weekend, but without the presence of the fans.
"Football without you guys (fans) is not football, but more importantly is that everybody stays safe!!," Boateng posted on Instagram.
"Behind closed doors, it was a different derby, but we played with pride and strength."
Besiktas remain in fifth spot on the Super Lig log and will next be in action at home to Antalyaspor on March 21.
