Basaksehir kept the gap with Sivasspor to just two points following the draw. The Istanbul minnows are firmly in the title race and are currently 3rd.

The draw ensured that Sivasspor remained top of the league table but marks the third successive game they have dropped points.

Trabzonspor could end up overtaking the Yigidolar should they win their game in hand against Malatyaspor.

Sivasspor would become just the sixth different side to win the league should they be crowned champions joining Besiktas, Bursaspor, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor.

Sivasspor will take on Antalyaspor in the Turkish Cup next followed by an away trip to Trabzonspor.

Trabzonspor will not have played their game in hand by then giving Sivasspor the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table to four points.
