chance from cross-balls.

of each team. Firstly, when Fenervahce's Lugano fell
in the penalty during a corner play after a challenge
with El Saka. Secondly, when Eskisehir's Youla was harshly
held in the penalty area by Fener's defender who denied
him completely from receiving the ball , however the
referee didn't count penalties in both occasions.
El Saka cleared many corner plays throughout the game,
and managed to stop Fenerbahce from scoring and keep
up with their fast strikers
In the 62nd minute, Eskisehirspor took the lead by
Adem who fired a volley from inside the penalty area
that went to the right of Demiril leaving him with no
chance. In the 79th minute Adem scored his second goal
and doubled the lead for Eskisehir after a deflected
shot that tricked Fenerbahce goalkeeper who went to
the wrong direction.
