Gala held by Antalyaspor, Trabz win

Turkish Super Lig leaders Galatasaray opened the door for Fenerbahce and Besiktas to close the gap at the top of the table after being held to a 1-1 draw at home by Antalyaspor tonight. Emrah Bassan gave the visitors a shock lead in the 21st minute, but Felipe Melo levelled from the penalty spot ten minutes before half-time. Each side finished the match with ten men, Gala's Milan Baros shown a straight red card in the 72nd minute before Antalyaspor's Ibrahim Dagasan followed in stoppage time for a second yellow card. Trabzonspor, in fourth, enjoyed a 2-1 home win over Bursaspor thanks to a brace from Giray Kacar. Ozan Ipek cancelled out the defender's first, but Kacar scored again in the 66th minute to win the game. Substitute Oktay Delibalta's goal ten minutes from time earned Genclerbirligi a 1-0 home win over Gaziantepspor, while Orduspor beat basement club Ankaragucu 2-0 with first-half strikes from Bogdan Stancu and Hasan Kabze. Istanbul Buyuksehir's clash with Karabukspor was postponed due to snow, while Gala's nearest challengers Fenerbahce travel to Samsunspor tomorrow, and third-placed Besiktas host Mersin Idmanyurdu.
