The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ali Erdem Akçakoca stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. The Polateli fans' excitement grew in the 57th match minute when Polateli's Enginsu Savlet looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 2-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. In the 65th minute the ball was on its way in behind Polateli's goalkeeper Dinç Gürgan, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 71 minutes into the match, Polateli's goal looked a bit too open when Ali Erdem Akçakoca came free, but Dinç Gürgan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 75th minute, Enginsu Savlet got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After having played for 77 minutes, Tayyip Elmastaş managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Polateli's supporters crossed their fingers, but Tayyip Elmastaş was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 78th minute, Enginsu Savlet managed to get in a good position for a shot.
