In the 77th minute Nurtekin Olcaytug shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Achille Ruscitti saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Batıkan Erdem fell near the penalty area in the 78th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Zenci İdman Kulübü's protests and gave Batıkan Erdem a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Zenci İdman Kulübü getting a freekick after 78 minutes play. Batıkan Erdem hit a great ball. Achille Ruscitti stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of İlker Sair's shot from short distance in the 83rd minute. 86 minutes into the match, Fındıklı FK's goal looked a bit too open when Ali Kağan Tosun came free, but Battal Cüneyt Arslangiray reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
