Galatasaray defender Kaan Ayhan can be seen sprinting half way across the pitch to celebrate right in front of Chory.
Ayhan performed a knee-slide before pumping his fist right in the face of the forward.
It was a game that saw two red cards and a record-breaking 18 yellows shown.
Czechia made things hard for themselves when midfielder Antonin Barak was sent off inside 20 minutes for two bookable offences.

However, they held their own until the 51st minute when Hakan Calhanoglu put Turkey ahead with a fierce strike into the far corner.
Soucek scrambled home an equaliser 15 minutes later to give his side hope, but the Euro 2020 quarter-finalists saw their dreams of repeating that run ended deep into stoppage time as former Everton striker Cenk Tosun netted the winning goal.
