Bursaspor opened a five-point gap at the top of the Super Lig table with a 2-1 win at home to Antalyaspor today.
The leaders fell behind to a Necati Ates goal after seven minutes but recovered thanks to Dimitar Ivankov's 14th-minute penalty and Omer Erdogan's winner 10 minutes from the end.
Bursaspor's lead could be cut to three points tomorrow when third-placed Fenerbahce host Kayserispor.
In today's only other match, Denizlispor lost 3-1 at Istanbul Buyuksehir BSK to leave them staring at relegation.
Ahmet Cebe had fired Denizlispor into the lead after 38 minutes, but they were over-run in the second half as Damien Chrysostome's 50th-minute own goal was followed by strikes from half-time substitutes Ibrahim Akin (64) and Tevfik Kose (75).
The defeat left Denizlispor seven points adrift of safety.
