Gazanfer Özcan Senih ran back to his position shaking his head. If Gazanfer Özcan Senih had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute.

The Hazro SK supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Hazro SK would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
