Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) ☆BumbAAlacati☆'s Yiğit Bumba started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. ☆BumbAAlacati☆'s Ersen Bumba proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 3rd minute of the match, managed to save ☆BumbAAlacati☆ from getting a goal against them. A hard shot 13 in the game by Sefa Zeyyat from a close distance when the talented Ersen Bumba managed to make a qualified save. ☆BumbAAlacati☆'s players were relieved. Sefa Zeyyat struck a weak shot in the 16th minute. Ersen Bumba didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Navigators. Habib Mennan kicked well hit freekick during the 18th minute of the match. Şükrü Yelesen charged in rather forcefully in the 24th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Şükrü Yelesen the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Navigators booed when ☆BumbAAlacati☆ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Burak Bumba didn't get a good kick on the ball. Hayati Işık took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Burak Bumba, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 33 minutes into the game, Alphan Çırakoğlu was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Navigators's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ☆BumbAAlacati☆ the free kick. Alphan Çırakoğlu kicked well hit freekick during the 33rd minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Navigators's Turgay Şeren got a free kick in the 34th minute. Arif Burak Harmancı kicked well hit freekick during the 42nd minute of the match.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Sefa Zeyyat to make the kick off. In the 56th minute, Sefa Zeyyat left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Navigators fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. Navigators made a substitution. Burhanettin Haseki replaced Habib Mennan. After a defensive mix-up in ☆BumbAAlacati☆'s zone, Sefa Zeyyat stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ersen Bumba came out of the goal and Sefa Zeyyat tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience was convinced that Sefa Zeyyat's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ersen Bumba was relentless in the 84th minute of the game. 88 minutes into the game, Sefa Zeyyat cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-0. Ersen Bumba was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Sefa Zeyyat in the 96th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ersen Bumba saved ☆BumbAAlacati☆ from getting behind. For all the effort they put into the match, the ☆BumbAAlacati☆ players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Navigators.
