ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Galatasaray beat Genclerbirligi Oftas 2-0 Saturday to clinch its 17th Turkish league title.
Galatasaray finished the season with 79 points, six more than Champions League quarterfinalist Fenerbahce. Both teams qualify for next season's Champions League.
Third-place Besiktas and Kayserispor, which won the Turkish Cup, qualify for the UEFA Cup.
Kasimpasa, Caykur Rizespor and Vestel Manisaspor were all relegated.
Fenerbahce had led for most of the season until it lost three weeks ago in the Istanbul derby to Galatasaray, which had to overcome the loss of coach Karl-Heinz Feldkamp six rounds before the end.
Thousands of Galatasaray fans took to the streets to celebrate, driving in convoys, waving red-and-yellow flags, chanting Galatasaray anthems and clogging traffic on main streets in Istanbul and Ankar
