Palu SK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Yaser Durusoy was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2.

Yahya Kemal Tekcan's late challenge caught a Kocamustafapasa FK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.
