Atasehir Stadium
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Cengizhan Songurhan took the kick off in the first half of the match. Mustafa Namık Karacabey showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Berkay Uçma, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. After a rather tough play, Grande FC's Latif Kahya got a free kick in the 6th minute. 13 minutes into the match, Cengizhan Songurhan had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Şadi Özpinar. Galatasaray's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Cengizhan Songurhan was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. In the 19th minute Berkay Uçma shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mustafa Namık Karacabey saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 21st minute Mehmet Gözlem shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Şadi Özpinar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Necmettin Heper in the 25th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Şadi Özpinar prevented the ball from getting in the gole. The supporters of Grande FC booed when Galatasaray was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 26 match minutes in a wonderful position. Süleyman Kınık didn't get a good kick on the ball. Cengizhan Songurhan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Şadi Özpinar having to interfere. In the 28th minute Latif Kahya suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. Bircan Keyhüsrev's late challenge caught a Grande FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Bircan Keyhüsrev helped the player get up and apologised. In the 30th minute, Bircan Keyhüsrev hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 32ndth minute of the game Cengizhan Songurhan who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Galatasaray's Şadi Özpinar was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Mehmet Gözlem in the 33rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Şadi Özpinar saved Galatasaray from getting behind. Galatasaray's Mustafa Arif Kalgay got a good chance for a goal in the 35th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 37 played minutes Galatasaray got a freekick which was hit by Sacit Aydoğan. After 39 played minutes, Grande FC's Cengizhan Songurhan shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Şadi Özpinar 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 Grande FC reached it. In the 40th minute Mehmet Gözlem shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Şadi Özpinar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 0-2 became the score in the 43rd minute when Cengizhan Songurhan elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. 47 minutes into the match, Galatasaray's goal looked a bit too open when Mehmet Gözlem came free, but Şadi Özpinar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After the first half Grande FC were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Berkay Uçma received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 51st minute. Mustafa Namık Karacabey tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 55th minute, Cengizhan Songurhan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Mehmet Gözlem sent away a hard shot on goal in the 57th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With an all-out effort, Grande FC's Şadi Özpinar threw himself towards the right post 59 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Mehmet Gözlem, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. In the 63rd minute Mehmet Gözlem shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Şadi Özpinar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Bircan Keyhüsrev was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 63 minutes had been played. After 64 played minutes Galatasaray got a freekick which was hit by Bircan Keyhüsrev. Şadi Özpinar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mehmet Gözlem, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Cengizhan Songurhan succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 0-3 in the 66th playminute. In the 80th minute, Galatasaray's Sarp İlkin seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Sarp İlkin the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Galatasaray protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Sarp İlkin had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. Grande FC's Cengizhan Songurhan got a good chance for a goal in the 83rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Mehmet Gözlem in the 87th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Şadi Özpinar prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Grande FC's Demirhan Okanalp suffered a concussion after 89 minutes and had to leave the field. Nusret Yula charged in rather forcefully in the 89th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Nusret Yula the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 91st minute, Nusret Yula hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 94 minutes into the match, Galatasaray's goal looked a bit too open when Mehmet Gözlem came free, but Şadi Özpinar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Şadi Özpinar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mehmet Gözlem, who was totally free with the ball in the 95th minute. The Galatasaray fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Grande FC were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
