Super Lig Wrap: Fener-Trabzonspor called off

With the leaders ahead thanks to an Emmanuel Emenike goal, the game was called off due to safety concerns after objects were thrown onto the field. 

After a number of stoppages, referee Bulent Yildirim opted to call time on the match, leaving Fener with a game in hand on their title rivals. 

Two days earlier, Didier Drogba's brace helped champions Galatasaray, who sit second, to an emphatic 6-1 win over Akhisar Belediyespor, while Ersan Gulum's late winner for third-placed Besiktas saw off mid-table Eskisehirspor.

Fener therefore remain three points clear at the top, while Sivasspor's 2-1 defeat at Genclerbirligi saw their grip on fourth place loosen.

Roberto Carlos' side ended the game with nine men thanks to the dismissals of Kadir Bekmezci and Cicinho, with second-half goals from Bogdan Stancu and Jimmy Durmaz ensuring the visitors fell to a third straight defeat that leaves them just a point clear of Kasimpasa.

The sides are now level on 25 points after Leonard Kweuke struck twice in four second-half minutes to overturn Lamine Diarra's opener.

Kayseri Erciyesspor, who are now level on points with Rizespor and Antalyaspor, extended their winning run to four league matches thanks to a narrow 1-0 victory over Konyaspor. 

In an action-packed affair, both sides had a man sent off with Kayserispor leading up to the 72nd minute, before two goals in five minutes ensured the visitors suffered a third straight defeat. 

Elsewhere, Kasimpasa missed the chance to go fourth with their goalless draw at Elazigspor, while Fernandao's penalty gave Bursaspor a 1-0 win over Karabukspor.
