Kayserispor capped off a dismal week for Galatasaray as
Pablo Mouche struck a 90th-minute winner at the Turk Telekom Arena.
Roberto Mancini's side crashed out of the UEFA Champions
League on Tuesday with a limp display against Chelsea and Mouche's last-gasp
winner saw hosts Gala drop to third in the Super Lig.
While Mouche was sent off for his over-zealous
celebrations for rock-bottom Kayserispor,, the strike allowed Besiktas the
opportunity to move second - a chance they took by comfortably seeing off
Akhisar Belediyespor 3-0.
Veli Kavlak and Mustafa Pektemek scored within the
opening nine minute before Atiba Hutchinson added a third midway through the
second half as Besiktas took the lead in the race for automatic Champions
League qualification.
Besiktas are now the closest challengers to leaders
Fenerbahce, after Ersun Yanal's side were comfortable 3-0 winners at 10-man Gaziantepspor
in Monday's only game.
Emmanuel Emenike continued his fine season with a brace
before Moussa Sow added a third, with Gilles Binya shown a second yellow card
late on.
Kayserispor's back-to-back wins will have made life
uncomfortable for those immediately above them, although 17th-place Kayseri
Erciyesspor were able to pick up a point against UEFA Europa League outsiders
Sivasspor.
Edinho's 57th-minute penalty looked to have secured them
a fourth win in five, but Aydin Karabulut equalised to send Roberto Carlos' men
home with a point.
Fellow strugglers Elazigspor were beaten 3-1 by mid-table
Genclerbirligi as they slipped into the drop zone thanks to the goalless draws
gained by Rizespor and Antalyaspor.
The duo gained a point each against 10-man Eskisehirspor
and Karabukspor respectively, while Konyaspor survived a late scare to see off
Bursaspor 2-1.
Theofanis Gekas scored twice for Konyaspor before the
hosts pulled a goal back and, while Erdinc Yavuz was dismissed late on, the
visitors held on to record their first win in six.
Trabzonspor and Kasimpasa drew 0-0 in Friday's only game
to leave the race for the final Europa League spot wide open - with just two
points separating ninth and fourth.
