Fenerbahce are now five points behind Galatasaray after drawing against Kayserispor.

.Fenerbahce suffered a setback in their title charge, as they were held to a 3-3 draw by Kayserispor.

Fenerbahce knew they had to win going into the tie to keep pace with Galatasaray, who had beaten Bodrum the day before. They came agonisingly close to clinching maximum points as they held a 3-2 lead late into the game before a stoppage time equaliser from Talha Sariasian ruined their party.

Kayserispor declared intent early on, silencing the Sukru Saracoglou stadium with an early goal from Ramazan Civelek. Fenerbahce responded appropriately, wrestling back control as they began to pile pressure on the visitor's backline. 

Their effort paid dividends in the 36th minute, when Anderson Talisca restored parity. The Yellow Canaries would not enjoy that game state for long before a Dominik Livakovic own goal restored Kayserispor’s lead. 

Allan Saint-Maximin equalised for Mourinho's team in the 64th minute, and for the first time in the game, the hosts went ahead when Talisca scored from the penalty spot in the 79th minute. 

The Brazilian’s eighth goal of the season in only 10 games seemed destined to be the winner before Sariarstan’s late strike ensured spoils were shared. 

Meanwhile, when Galatasaray last faced Kayserispor, they put five past them in a 5-1 victory. Victor Osimhen scored two of the goals.
