Football: Kuyt's brace brings glory to Fenerbahce

ANKARA 

Turkish Spor Toto Super League leaders Fenerbahce cruised past Kasimpasa 3-0 in the week 17 game on Saturday.

Visitors Fenerbahce took the lead in the 15th minute at Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium, when Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt fired outside the box and hit the target, with Brazilian midfielder Diego making the assist.

In 60’, Fenerbahce's Portuguese midfielder Raul Meireles was subbed out with a suspected injury.

Nine minutes later Kuyt doubled the score. The 34-year-old Dutch forward lurking in the box came up with a fierce shot that was enough to find the net.

In the last minute of stoppage time, away team "Yellow Canaries" made it three after their Turkish attacking left back Caner Erkin put the ball in the back of the net while he was free in the area, giving the final score.

Leaders Fenerbahce raised their points to 39. 'Yellow Canaries' are now four points ahead their closest rivals Besiktas.
