İhsan Şahbaz took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 53rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Necat Zati. İstanbul Bats's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Emrullah Pekinturk's late challenge caught a Kozan JK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

After 55 played minutes, Kozan JK's Vehdi İçten shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Necat Zati came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Kozan JK reached it. In the 64th minute, Cesur Erşahin made a precise shot to the right of Baran Alp Belge. Kozan JK's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-3.

After having played for 90 minutes, Cesur Erşahin managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
