Fener fightback sinks Sivasspor

Fenerbahce needed a second-half turnaround to defeat Sivasspor 4-2 and reduce the gap behind leaders Galatasaray to six points at the top of the Turkish Super Lig. Emre Belozoglu gave Fener a fourth-minute lead, but they found themselves behind before the break after Kivanc Karakas and Jan Rajnoch both netted. Fener rallied though with their veteran skipper Alex scoring twice in three minutes just after the hour mark before Emre got his second on 73 minutes to complete the comeback. Samsunspor won their bottom-of-the-table clash at Ankaragucu 3-0, with goals coming in the opening half-hour through Arstide Bance on nine minutes and an Ekigho Ehiosun brace. Manisaspor remained three points above the drop zone following a 2-1 defeat at Antalyaspor. Antalyaspor's Brazilian striker Tita bagged a double either side of an equaliser from Isaac Promise on 16 minutes.
