Elmali's supporters rose to their feet, but Batıray Tulun was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Abdulmelik Kapkin breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 11 minutes into the game, Galip Erdemli was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Elmali's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave SnowflakeS FK the free kick. If Batıray Tulun had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute.
