By Satuk Bugra Kutlugun

ANKARA (AA) - Bursaspor managed to stay in Turkey's Spor Toto Super Lig after defeating Trabzonspor 2-1 in the 34th week match on Saturday afternoon.

Bursaspor, who started last week with only two points from the relegation zone, needed to bag three points to keep the 16th-placed Caykur Rizespor at bay.

Caykur Rizespor won against Alanyaspor 1-0 at home, hoping Bursaspor would lose points to stay away from the relegation zone.

Bursaspor, who were down 1-0 in the 55th minute, started a comeback just after six minutes, scoring a crucial equalizer thanks to Christobal Jorquera.

Then the Green Crocodiles managed to score in the 69th minute with Pablo Batalla, completing the comeback and making a strong case to stay in the league.

Caykur Rizespor, despite winning their last match, joined Adanaspor and Gaziantepspor to be relegated.
