Spectators: 5144 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 144) In the 4th minute, Birant Başbuğ hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Bayındır Mehmet Mansur took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Azim Kıncal, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a defensive mix-up in Karpuzlu SK's zone, Hüsrev Yetener stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bayındır Mehmet Mansur came out of the goal and Hüsrev Yetener tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Hüsrev Yetener recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 16th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Müjdat Soysaltürk hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. Bayındır Mehmet Mansur showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hüsrev Yetener in the 21st minute of the match. Ahmet Korcan Karakan could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 25th minute of the match, but Mehmet Ediz Şahruh made a huge save. Turabi Akyol charged in rather forcefully in the 28th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Turabi Akyol the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 28 played minutes Karpuzlu SK got a freekick which was hit by Turabi Akyol. Ataol Gökkır was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 29th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Bayındır Mehmet Mansur made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Azim Kıncal in the 31st minute of play. Hüsrev Yetener might have been able to make a better finish in the 32nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bayındır Mehmet Mansur. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Hüsrev Yetener ran back to his position shaking his head. Hüsrev Yetener received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Bayındır Mehmet Mansur tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bayındır Mehmet Mansur didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Azim Kıncal went, in the 38th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. When the match had gone on for 43 minutes, Mecnun Kıncal took a quick shot and it went in 1-1 without a chance for Mehmet Ediz Şahruh to make any attempt to save it. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Mecnun Kıncal made a kick off. In the 59th minute, Hüsrev Yetener ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Bayındır Mehmet Mansur was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2.

Talip Hallaç kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. Mecnun Kıncal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 75 minutes into the match, Cesur Futbol Akademisi's goal looked a bit too open when Ahmet Korcan Karakan came free, but Mehmet Ediz Şahruh reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 78 minutes, Hüsrev Yetener managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Cesur Futbol Akademisi's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hüsrev Yetener was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 85 minutes into the match, Mecnun Kıncal notched a goal, 2-3, to the right of Cesur Futbol Akademisi's Mehmet Ediz Şahruh. Mehmet Ediz Şahruh was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Mehmet Ediz Şahruh stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Mecnun Kıncal's shot from short distance in the 90th minute. If Hüsrev Yetener had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 94th minute Azim Kıncal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bayındır Mehmet Mansur saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Bayındır Mehmet Mansur made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Azim Kıncal in the 95th minute of play. Azim Kıncal struck a weak shot in the 97th minute.

The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Cesur Futbol Akademisi eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
