Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Lemi Bağcı to make the kick off. When Lemi Bağcı came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the Melik GN fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Lemi Bağcı couldn't finish the play.

With a little luck, Corlu SK's Dinç Kutal got control of the ball when Mert İnanç tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 72nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Melik GN's goalkeeper Selim Tolunbay, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 74th minute Metin Onat shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Selim Tolunbay saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Güral Pekin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After a rather tough play, Melik GN's Mehmet Fatih Tanbek got a free kick in the 93rd minute. After a defensive mix-up in Melik GN's zone, Güral Pekin stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Selim Tolunbay came out of the goal and Güral Pekin tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Corlu SK's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
