Fenerbahce 1-2 Sivasspor: Yellow Canaries suffer blow to Champions League dreams

Fenerbahce lose 2-1 against Sivasspor at the Sukru Saracoglu stadium in the Super Lig.

The Yellow Canaries headed into the game having picked up seven points from a possible nine in their past three games and another victory would have closed the gap with 3rd placed Sivasspor to just a single point.

It was the visitors who got off to a great start when Kone converted from the penalty spot on 9 minutes.

Deniz Turuc did equalise for Fenerbahce but Emre Kilinc put Sivasspor back ahead just before the half-time whistle in what ended up being the decisive goal.

The victory opened up a seven-point gap between Sivasspor and Fenerbahce.

The central Anatolian side will book a place in the Champions League should they hang onto 3rd place.

With Trabzonspor suspended from European competition third-place will be enough to secure Champions League football in the Super Lig next season.

Sivasspor are currently four-points clear of 4th placed Besiktas but the Black Eagles have a game in hand and play today.

Fenerbahce meanwhile dropped into 7th place, three points off the top-four.
