The MeRGeN G.d. fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ahmet Necdet Özyurt should have stopped the shot.

Ahmet Necdet Özyurt breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 31 minutes into the match, MeRGeN G.d.'s goal looked a bit too open when Cenap Uğur came free, but Ahmet Necdet Özyurt reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Cenap Uğur got free in front of the goal in the 34th minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal. Ahmet Necdet Özyurt was delighted since he was out of position and the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. In the 45th minute, Genco Hüryaşar made a precise shot to the right of Ahmet Necdet Özyurt. MeRGeN G.d.'s defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2.
