Before kick-off, the away team offered an emotional salute to Promise with inscription ''Rest in Peace Isaac''.

It didn't end there as the Former Flying Eagles skipper was also remembered by the game's lone goal scorer Ufuk Akyol when he deliberately held-up Isaac Promise's favourite Jersey number '20'.

Isaac Promise played in Turkey for almost 13 years and was in the colours of Antalyaspor from 2012 to 2014 and was able to shake the net 11 times in 48 appearances.
