Spectators: 7673 (Terracing: 5755, Seating: 1765, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mehmet Emre Taşan kicked off to start the match. Mehmet Emre Taşan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Mehmet Emre Taşan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Knights of Dol Amroth's defense didn't have a chance, in the 8th minute, when Günalp Sarvan scored to the left of an out of position Numan Tezeren, making the score, 1-0. 13 minutes into the match, Tayyar Volkan notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Kahramanmaras SK's Taner Betim. Taner Betim was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mirza Bender in the 21st minute of play forced Kahramanmaras SK's goalkeeper Taner Betim to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 22nd minute, Tayyar Volkan left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Knights of Dol Amroth fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-2. Knights of Dol Amroth's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Günalp Sarvan 33 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 2-2. Taner Betim didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Tayyar Volkan went, in the 36th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-3 was the resulting score. After the first half Knights of Dol Amroth were leading 2-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Mirza Bender made a kick off. Babür Sarısaltuk charged in rather forcefully in the 55th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Babür Sarısaltuk the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Knights of Dol Amroth's Numan Tezeren played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Günalp Sarvan in the 70th minute of play. Kahramanmaras SK's Özgür Eğilmez got a good chance for a goal in the 71st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 73rd minute, Günalp Sarvan got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Özgür Eğilmez fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Numan Tezeren having to interfere. In the 80th minute, Tayyar Volkan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Oğuzalp Keyfer's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Numan Tezeren read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 82nd minute of play. If Mehmet Emre Taşan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Özgür Eğilmez received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Numan Tezeren tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Tayyar Volkan in the 88th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Taner Betim prevented the ball from getting in the gole.
