Our Technical Director, Ertuğrul Sağlam made this evaluation regarding the game:

"If we look at the game in general, the 1-1 tie is not a bad result. A draw with an extra goal, especially in an away game, is usually regarded as an advantage for the replay. However, the goal that came during stoppage time was really upsetting because we were just starting to think that we won the game. But what can you do? This is all part of the game. We had some good chances to increase our lead but unfortunately we couldn’t take advantage of them. Especially our finishing touches missed the target. Nevertheless, we are going back to Istanbul with an advantageous score. I congratulate both team players on their good football."
