Fenerbahçe SK and Trabzonspor progressed to the final of the Turkish Cup despite failing to win the second leg of their respective semi-final ties.
Fenerbahçe, a point behind Super League leaders Bursaspor, were held to a 1-1 draw by Manisaspor on Tuesday but go through courtesy of their 2-0 home win in the first leg. Manisaspor went in front in the return through Güven Varol's 15th-minute strike but the score ended level on the night and 3-1 on aggregate following Alex's leveller on 64 minutes.
A 2-0 first-leg triumph also proved enough for Trabzonspor, who lost 1-0 in Wednesday's second instalment against Antalyaspor. Serge Djiehoua scored the only goal just before half-time. The final will be played on 5 May.
