When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Alkın Peşrev made a kick off.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Nizam Garipbaş had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 60 minutes into the match, Aslan's goalkeeper Florencio Frichoso had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Tümer Rusuhi.
