After some fancy dribbling in the 51st minute, Şakir Eymen managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Gökçe Sarif came out of the goal and Muhittin Özmert tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Behzat Ozaner came up free with the goalie in the 56th minute, the GALATASARAY fans jumped to their feet.
