Ekrem Patlar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Tarkan Çağnur took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ekrem Patlar, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Nizip FK's Tarkan Çağnur played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ekrem Patlar in the 14th minute of play. 15 minutes into the match, Nizip FK's goal looked a bit too open when Ekrem Patlar came free, but Tarkan Çağnur reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In the 57th minute Armağan Özalpsan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tarkan Çağnur saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Ekrem Patlar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 61st minute, Ekrem Patlar managed to get in a good position for a shot.
