Once again, Turuc was involved in the goal, but this time around, he sent the ball into his own net to make the score 1-1.
When all looked headed for the sharing of spoils, Mensah won it all for The Anatolian Star, putting the ball at the back of the net on the assist of Chery two minutes to full-time.
The three points have moved Kayserispor to 11th on the league table, two places above Goztepe.
Asamoah Gyan missed the game due to fitness concerns.
