Naci Kaynak struck a weak shot in the 56th minute. Tommy Kahn didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for MERT FC.

The referee ignored Germany's protests and gave Albin Holweck a yellow card for diving instead. Cem Özinan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tommy Kahn having to interfere. Frank Sachs recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 62nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

With an extended leg and a bit of luck Tommy Kahn prevented the ball from getting in the gole.
