The Trabzon club got the wind at their backs in the second half as well.

Berat Ozdemir's screamer from long range made it 2-0 for Trabzonspor in the 46th minute, and just one minute later, Nicolas Pepe netted another one for the Black Sea Storms.

Dusan Tadic took one back with a goal from a penalty kick in the 61st minute and gave the hosts' fans hope.

But Fenerbahce midfielder Ismail Yuksek's sendoff with a second yellow card in the 78th minute didn't help matters for the Yellow Canaries.

Trabzonspor ended Fenerbahce's 10-game winning streak and Galatasaray, with 31 points, took the top spot in the Super Lig standings from the Yellow Canaries, which stayed with 30 points.
