Engin Saltukalp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 95 minutes into the match, FC TAŞKÖPRÜSPOR's goal looked a bit too open when Efekan Şahdar came free, but Güneri Tanyel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
