Marcao was kicked out by what rule?

In the 62nd minute of the Giresunspor-Galatasaray match, an event that will go down in football history took place. Galatasaray’s Marcao punched his teammate Kerem Aktürkoğlu in the head after a position. The referee, Erkan Özdamar, sent Marcao out of the game with a red card after the events calmed down.

WHAT DOES THE RULE SAY?

The referee of the match, Erkan Özdamar, applied the ‘violent action’ rule after Marcao’s move. This rule also includes the phrase ‘teammate’.

Here is that item:

Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent or teammate, team official, match official, spectator or other person who is not struggling for the ball, regardless of whether there is contact or not.
