If Özal Özdurdu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Özal Özdurdu's late challenge caught a Erzincan SK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

When Ayhan İzzettin came up free with the goalie in the 47th minute, the MuRaT PaŞa SpoR fans jumped to their feet.
