Fenerbahce won their 19th Turkish league title after a
0-0 home draw against Caykur Rizespor on Sunday night in Istanbul,
three weeks before the end of the season.
The title also gave great encourage to the Turkish powerhouse which
was trapped in judicial troubles of the match-fixing scandal.
The game against Rizespor was played in a stadium packed with more
than 50,000 women and children younger than 12 years old due to adult
males being banned following crowd trouble.
"I am very proud of the team and thank everyone, especially our
chairman. We showed once again that Fenerbahce is pure and strong,"
Ersun Yanal, in his first year in charge of Fenerbahce, told reporters.
