	defending

	Goal of the game: How can I choose between a penalty and a own goal?

	Entertainment value:
	Elazığ 6 - Konya 7

	Sight of the match: There was snow before the game and someone built a snowman on behind
	one of the goals and dressed it up in Elazığ colours with an Elazığ scarf

	Summary:
	Elazığ did well defensively in this game but they were lacking ideas on going forward
	against a formidable Konya side and really should just enjoy the play off ride because they
	will not get any further
	Konya on the other hand did find it difficult to break down the Elazığ defence and at times
	found it hard to play on this bobbly pitch but they did get 3 points to keep the dream
	moving on
