After a defensive mix-up in ZENO's zone, Karadeniz Davutoğlu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Suphi Güleryüz came out of the goal and Karadeniz Davutoğlu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Karadeniz Davutoğlu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Suphi Güleryüz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Muzaffer Uğursoy couldn't finish the play.

Fikret Hancı sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Stefan Zweig might have been able to make a better finish in the 73rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Arif Burak Çimen. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Stefan Zweig ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 75th minute, Lemi Baroğlu made a precise shot to the right of Suphi Güleryüz. ZENO's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2.
