The leaders of the Turkish Super Lig achieved a 1-0 win at Gaziantep Stadium, with Ahmed Kutucu netting the sole goal.
However, the home team was denied a penalty despite Sanchez’s evident handball.
The former Spurs player had his arm distinctly stretched away from his body when the ball struck it.
Mourinho, at the age of 62, was outspoken about the referee’s inaction.
Previously, the former Chelsea, Manchester United, and Spurs manager shared an image of the incident on Instagram, featuring a caption that made an unusual reference to the Portugal Handball team.
He remarked: “In the Handball World Cup that concluded last Sunday, my Portugal impressively reached the semifinals, and I want to congratulate them for such an accomplishment and the impact they will have on our country’s youth.”
This isn’t the first time Mourinho has condemned the officiating quality in Turkey since assuming his role at Fenerbahce.

In November, he strongly criticized referees after Trabzonspor was awarded two controversial penalties.
In another rant last month, he labeled Turkey’s top league as “toxic” due to several rough tackles from Hatayspor players.
