FENERBAHCE STALLED !....SIVASSPOR ONCE AGAIN ON TOP AGAIN.....

Sivasspor moved to the top of the Turkish TURKCELLSuper League following a 2-0 home win over 10-man Trabzonspor on Sunday.

And Mehmet Yildiz sealed the win from the penalty spot as Sivasspor moved a point-clear of second-placed Galatasaray who had held top-spot temporarily on Saturday night after beating Caykur Rizespor.



Fenerbahce missed the chance to take top spot after they salvaged a point against Istanbul Buyuksehir BSK with a stunning late comeback.



Ilyas Kahraman put Istanbul Buyuksehir ahead with 16 minutes remaining and Gokhan Kaba's goal with nine minutes left looked to have sealed a shock win for the visitors.



However, Luis Edu Dracena pulled one back for Fenerbahce in the 84th minute before Deivid completed the comeback with two minutes remaining as Fenerbahce dropped a point behind Galatasaray in third place.



Elsewhere Ankaragucu were held to a 1-1 home draw with Ankaraspor, Bursaspor also drew 1-1 with 10-man Denizlispor and Kayserispor won 1-0 at Manisaspor.
