Turkish Spor Toto Super League champions Galatasaray beat Bursaspor 3-2 to lift the 2014-15 Ziraat Turkish Cup at the Bursa Atatürk Stadium in Bursa on June 3.

The Crocodiles, who were bidding to win their first cup in 28 years, took the lead when Fernandao scored from the spot in the 25th minute following a foul by Galatasaray left-back Alex Telles.

Galatasaray lost key two points against Bursaspor Feb. 1 in its race for the top of the standings in a week that rivals Fenerbahçe and Be?ikta? enjoyed narrow wins.

Galatasaray barely snatched the 2-2 draw against Bursaspor at its home Türk Telekom Arena in a matchday 18 game.

Bursaspor has been knocked out of the Europa League with a 4-1 penalty shoot-out defeat to Chikhura Sachkhere, in a second round match that ended in a brawl in Georgia on July 24. 

Bursaspor will need a victory or at least a draw against Chikhura Sachkhere to advance to the third qualifying round of the Europa League tonight, a week after a goalless draw in Bursa.

Top Super League clubs are having trouble attracting new sponsors, as the brands are exiting the Turkish football.
