Home Playoff Form... Better?!
No, of course not.
Not for the Turkish leaders.
Galatasaray could not win their third home play-off game, either: 2-2, at home, against Besiktas, with the two goals scored by the guests coming in minutes 86 and 88!
Unbelievable and pathetic!
Still, despite all that, and even though Fenerbahce won today, Galatasaray remains top of the table.
Actually, considering Fenerbahce's win at Trabzonspor, even if Galatasaray had won, Cim Bom would have still had to achieve the same result they have to achieve now, to win the league.
And that is? Well, they have to not lose away to Fenerbahce, in the very last match.

Deja Vu
Remember, on the first and second of February, when Galatasaray again dropped precious points at home (- that time the draw was against Antalyaspor -), first, only to see Fenerbahce respond, the following day, by losing to Samsunspor?
Well, practically the same thing happened yesterday and today.
After Galatasaray drew, at home, 0-0, against Trabzonspor, all Fenerbahce had to do was win to pull even. But they did not win. Just like in February, Fenerbahce lost exactly when they needed to win the most.
Hugo Almeida scored, for Besiktas, on the stroke of half-time, and that was all the scoring on the night.
What a huge break Galatasaray got here!
Very weak from Fenerbahce.
With two matches left, Fenerbahce remains 3 points behind Galatasaray. But the remaining direct encounter between the two teams is scheduled to take place at Fenerbahce's stadium (which I don't know if it's a huge plus for the hosts, considering that Galatasaray seems to be doing way better away from home lately).

The Race Is Practically Over
In Turkey, Galatasaray is very close of being crowned champion.
Like Fenerbahce, they were also able to defeat Besiktas, at home. But, unlike Fenerbahce, Galatasaray did not lose this weekend, so they are now, thanks to the 3-2 victory over The Black Eagles, 9 points ahead at the top of the Turkish standings.
Galatasaray took the lead three times, including the last one, and saw those leads shattered two times, by scrappy goals, the second one of Besiktas even being an own goal, from Semih Kaya (in minute 73).
But Johan Elmander was the hero for Cim Bom Bom. Not only did he score the first goal, in the 15th minute, but he also scored the winning goal in the last minute, just when the game seemed destined to end 2-2.
There are only six matches left for each team, and it seems unlikely that Galatasaray will not win more than one half of the points still on the table.
Highlights:

Besiktas No Good
Besiktas Istanbul does not have the team to compete for the Turkish title this year.
No matter how hard they try, and it appears they tried at Sivasspor, they just can't cut it.
Maybe it's a little unlucky to concede in minute 85 (and lose two points), but it's also pathetic, putting yourself in that position courtesy of your own weak, chaotic defending.
Tomas Sivok put the visitors in front with two minutes left in first half regulation, and Erman Kilic was the one who drew the hosts level.
Besiktas is now 5 points behind Fenerbahce (and 8 behind Galatasaray), but they have played one more game.
And there are only 9 more games left (8 for Besiktas).

When No Title Challenger Wins
Has the Turkish league title race turned into a Twilight Zone episode?
Title challengers are losing points left and right lately, there.
On this particular middle-of-the-week matchday, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas made a grand total of 1 point! Altogether.
Fenerbahce lost at Samsunspor, 3-1, after leading 1-0, while Besiktas lost at home, to Mersin Idmanyurdu, 0-1.
The Greek Gekas scored a natural hat-trick at the Samsun 19 Mayis stadium, to lift his team to victory, while Mersin held on for an entire second half in Istanbul.
Now, thanks to their win at home against Bursaspor, Trabzonspor is 3 points behind Besiktas. Could there be a four-team race? ('Cause I don't suppose Genclerbirligi stands a chance...)
Highlights from Samsunspor - Fenerbahce 3-1:
Samsunspor 3-1 Fenerbahçe by omerzincan
Highlights from Besiktas - Mersin 0-1:
Besiktas 0-1 Mersin by coppoccop

Kayserispor Beats Besiktas Again
Kayserispor did the double over Turkish giants Besiktas, and prevented them from fully getting back into the title challenge.
In October, Kayserispor won at the Inonu Stadium, 2-0, and today they also managed to get three points over the third-placed team.
Troisi scored in the first minute, and his was also the last goal of the game.
Besiktas remains on 45 points, 5 less than the leader, Galatasaray, and 3 less than Fenerbahce.
