Galatasaray trimmed Trabzonspor's lead at the top of the Super Lig to one point with a 3-1 victory away to Genclerbirligi.
The Istanbul giants fell behind to their opponents from Ankara when Burhan Eser scored after 26 minutes.
However Galatasaray had victory wrapped up by half-time thanks to goals from Brazilian midfielder Lincoln, Czech striker Milan Baros and highly-rated young midfielder Arda Turan.
Galatasaray were without Australian winger Harry Kewell, however, and he faces a spell on the sidelines.
The former Leeds and Liverpool player will have surgery on a hernia problem on Monday in Australia.
