Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ataman Sara kicked off to start the match. 6 minutes into the game, Esat Uygu was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Banaz's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ulus the free kick. After a rather tough play, Banaz's Serbülent Pekalp got a free kick in the 11th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ataman Sara got free with Mahir Rezzak in the 15th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Kamuran Orcun made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Güntekin Aydemir in the 20th minute of play. Battal Cüneyt Bakır scored 1-1 in the 22nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Kamuran Orcun, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Ataman Sara fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mahir Rezzak having to interfere. Kamuran Orcun showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Battal Cüneyt Bakır in the 33rd minute of the match. Kamuran Orcun took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Serbülent Pekalp, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a little luck, Banaz's Mahir Rezzak got control of the ball when Ataman Sara tried to sneak it across the goal line. Mahir Rezzak showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tolga Semdin, who was totally free with the ball in the 41st minute. Tolga Semdin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Mahir Rezzak tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Kamuran Orcun made an important save on a dangerous shot by Serbülent Pekalp in the 53rd minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ataman Sara in the 55th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Mahir Rezzak saved Banaz from getting behind. 56 minutes into the match, Ulus's goal looked a bit too open when Battal Cüneyt Bakır came free, but Kamuran Orcun reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Esat Uygu kicked well hit freekick during the 59th minute of the match. Tolga Semdin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mahir Rezzak having to interfere. When Ataman Sara came up free with the goalie in the 75th minute, the Ulus fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ataman Sara couldn't finish the play. Tolga Semdin recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 78th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Serbülent Pekalp received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Kamuran Orcun tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Serbülent Pekalp got free with Kamuran Orcun in the 88th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Tolga Semdin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. There was no doubt that Ulus were the better team. Ulus's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
