Turkish Super Lig winner Medipol Başakşehir on Sunday were beaten by Kasımpaşa 3-2 in their final league game.
Home team Kasımpaşa's goals were scored by Fode Koita (2) and Yusuf Erdogan, while Demba Ba and Edin Visca scored for Başakşehir.
The match capped off the 2019-2020 Turkish Super Lig season.
Ahead of the game, Başakşehir were already crowned Turkish Super Lig champions, as they made history by ending the dominance of Turkish football's traditional "Big Three"-Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, and Besiktas.
After the match ended at Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium, Başakşehir players and staff celebrated the league title on an open-top bus taking them to the Başakşehir district.
Along their way players sang championship songs and waved flags.
Following the bus' arrival, fans crowded Başakşehir's streets and balconies to celebrate the Istanbul club's historic victory.
The team lifted their first league cup at their home, Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium.
