Bilge Can made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from İshak Mertel in the 3rd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Seyfi Tura in the 5th minute of play forced Kepir's goalkeeper Bilge Can to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Bilge Can didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Seyfi Tura went, in the 43rd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. 48 minutes into the match, Kepir's goal looked a bit too open when Seyfi Tura came free, but Bilge Can reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After a defensive mix-up in Kepir's zone, Seyfi Tura stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bilge Can came out of the goal and Seyfi Tura tried to chip the ball over his head.
