Josef De Souza doubled the home sides lead on 43 minutes and Ridvan Yilmaz looked to have put the game out of sight after scoring on 52 minutes.
However, Adana managed did not give up.
Vargas pulled a goal back on 60 minutes and them Mario Balotelli scored on 79 minutes before equalising in the sixth minute of additional time.
Balotelli sparked controversy with his goal celebration.
It all goes back to 2013 when Balotelli was playing for Manchester City. In a pre-season game on tour to the US the striker decided to back-heel the ball while it was heading into an empty net but bizarrely ended up missing the shot and preventing his team from scoring.
He was substituted off immediately after.
Besiktas manager Sergen Yalcin who was a pundit at the time described Balotelli as being ‘brainless’ after the incident.

The Italy international got his recent eight years later by running up to Yalcin after scoring and pointing to his brain to indicate he is not brainless.
