Besiktas can expect to fall further off the pace at the top of the Super Lig after conceding a late goal to draw 1-1 at Sivasspor.

Erman Kilic struck with five minutes left to cancel out a Tomas Sivok opener that had come two minutes before half-time.

Besiktas are now eight points behind leaders Galatasaray, who play their game in hand at home to Kayserispor on Saturday.

The days other game saw Istanbul Buyuksehir and Karabukspor share the points in a 2-2 draw that also featured two red cards.

Istanbul took the lead through Samuel Holmen 33 minutes in, but Mehmet Yildiz levelled for the relegation-threatened visitors a minute before half-time, and then Istanbul's Kamil Zayatte collected his second yellow card in the course of conceding a penalty, converted by Florin Cernat, just after the hour mark.

But the 10 men of the home side levelled through substitute Edin Visca eight minutes from time, before Karabukspor's Muhammed Ozdin saw red for a second bookable offence a minute in the 89th minute.
