After the restart, Serhat Öztaşdelen made smart saves from Irfan Kahveci to keep Kocaelispor on terms. Cláudio Winck later went off injured, with Godfried Frimpong introduced (90.).

Play briefly paused for treatment to Rigoberto Rivas and later Can Keles in the closing stages.

Kasımpaşa controlled long spells with 60.5% possession and 13 attempts, four on target. Kocaelispor produced five attempts and worked the goalkeeper once.
