Spectators: 7509 (Terracing: 5632, Seating: 1727, VIP seats: 150) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. İshak Direnç started the match with the kick off. LA Lakers's Ahmet Rıfat Nedret played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Necmi Tecer in the 3rd minute of play. In the 6th minute Mehmet Akif Köksan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Batuhan Tüzmen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a little luck, Adana Sk's Batuhan Tüzmen got control of the ball when Davut Kamaci tried to sneak it across the goal line. Ahmet Rıfat Nedret came out of the goal in the 13th minute to try and stop a shot by Adana Sk's İshak Direnç.

LA Lakers's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Adana Sk the free kick.

After 43 played minutes, LA Lakers's Arif Gaffar Karacan shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Batuhan Tüzmen 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 LA Lakers reached it. Davut Kamaci received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Batuhan Tüzmen came out and tried to block the shot, but Davut Kamaci slotted it home off the left post making it 1-3 in the 45th minute.

Adana Sk's supporters rose to their feet, but İshak Direnç was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
