Soccer-Besiktas add Turkish league title to Cup win

ISTANBUL, May 30 (Reuters) - Besiktas clinched the Turkish league title for the 11th time on Saturday with a 2-1 win away to Denizlispor, adding to their Turkish Cup success.

Slovak Filip Holosko opened the scoring for the Istanbul side in the 28th minute while Ibrahim Toraman extended the Black Eagles' lead in the 63rd minute with a superb long-range shot.

Brazilian Douglas Daniel Braga pulled one back for the home side in the 85th minute, but couldn't knock a superior Besiktas off their stride.

It has been a bitterly disappointing season for Besiktas' major Istanbul rivals Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, who have both won the title 17 times and who finished in fourth and fifth place.
