ISTANBUL, May 11 (Reuters) - Besiktas beat Buyuksehir Belediyespor 4-3 on penalties to win the Turkish Cup final on Wednesday and secure a place in next season's Europa League.

Striker Ibrahim Akin, a former Besiktas player, equalised from the penalty spot early in the second half after Mehmet Aurelio brought down Iskender Alin in the area.
The Istanbul municipality side went ahead in the 68th minute through a Gokhan Unal goal, but 10 minutes later Tomas Sivok headed in an equaliser from a Manuel Fernandes free kick to send the game to extra time.
Besiktas are sixth in the Turkish first division, 29 points adrift of leaders Fenerbahce. Buyuksehir are ninth, six points behind Besiktas.
