Galatasaray has been denied clinching the Turkish league title on Sunday by losing 1-0 at home to second-place Fenerbahce which played with 10 men for most of the game against its fierce rival. Galatasaray began with a six-point lead in the standings and needing just a draw after winning all 18 previous home league games this season.

A 71st-minute goal by Fenerbahce defender Çağlar Söyüncü, standing almost on the goal line to score after a corner was not cleared, ensured the title will be decided in the final round of games next Sunday. PAOK sealed the league title in Greece as the third different champion in three years by seeing out the final 20 minutes with 10 men to beat Aris Thessaloniki 2-1.
Galatasaray needs just a draw or a win away to Konyaspor next Sunday when Fenerbahce hosts Istanbulspor. Fenerbahce last won the Turkish league 10 years ago.
