Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Esen Turalp made the kick off which started today's match. After 4 minutes, Behram Çağlayan mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Galatasaray and the Tarakli players grew even worse after the yellow card. 5 minutes into the game, Naci Yetkin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Galatasaray's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Tarakli the free kick. In the 6th minute, Naci Yetkin hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 6 played minutes, Tarakli's İslam Kınay shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Batı Hatipoğlu came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Tarakli reached it. Vatan Akçınar recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 8th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Galatasaray's zone, Vatan Akçınar stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Batı Hatipoğlu came out of the goal and Vatan Akçınar tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the match had gone on for 15 minutes, Derya Ekemen put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Batı Hatipoğlu. If Esen Turalp had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tarakli's Vatan Akçınar got a good chance for a goal in the 24th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Esen Turalp fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Armağan Dersu having to interfere. If Vatan Akçınar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Galatasaray's Batı Hatipoğlu played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Vatan Akçınar in the 32nd minute of play. Vatan Akçınar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 38th minute, Vatan Akçınar 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. The supporters of Galatasaray booed when Tarakli was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 45 match minutes in a wonderful position. İslam Kınay didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 46th minute, Gani Tuğaltan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Galatasaray's supporters rose to their feet, but Gani Tuğaltan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Armağan Dersu breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Derya Ekemen made a kick off. Behram Çağlayan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Gani Tuğaltan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Vatan Akçınar could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 58th minute of the match, but Batı Hatipoğlu made a huge save. After a rather tough play, Tarakli's Demir Çetinalp got a free kick in the 59th minute. Armağan Dersu stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Gani Tuğaltan's shot from short distance in the 62nd minute. In the 80th minute, Galatasaray's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Vatan Akçınar fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Vatan Akçınar recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 82nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Tarakli's Derya Ekemen in the 83rd minute got a chance for a shot 83rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Galatasaray's goalie prevented a goal. Esen Turalp scored 1-1 in the 88th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Armağan Dersu, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpected shot in the 92nd minute by Derya Ekemen got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Esen Turalp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 96th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The Tarakli players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Galatasaray from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
