Galatasaray headed into the Alanyaspor clash on Saturday needing a win to overtake Basaksehir and move into first place in the Super Lig.
On paper it should have been a walkover, only Karabukspor have a worse home record than Alanyaspor in the league this season.
And the Lions got off to a great start scoring twice inside 20 minutes.
It looked game, set and match but Galatasaray demonstrated why they had only won one of their last five away games.

Manchester City loanee Jason Denayer will not be too pleased with what happened next.
Alanyaspor managed to pull two goals back to equalize.
Just when it looked like Galatasaray were going to drop points up stepped Sinan Gumus to rescue all three points.

Denayer has been a first-team starter when fit for Galatasaray this season.
The Belgium international did put on a decent display making 64 passes at a 95 percent accuracy.
