The 32-year-old made the pass to Ferdi Kadioglu, whose cross ended up finding its way into the opposition net via an own goal thanks to Hatayspor defender Jean-Claude Billong.

Ozil responded to the victory with a tweet congratulating the team and giving a special thanks to goalkeeper Altay Bayindir who pulled off several key saves.
