Harbiye
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nedim Akçakan kicked off to start the match. When Abdulkadir Özerol came up free with the goalie in the 5th minute, the Alacam 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 Abdulkadir Özerol couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ahmet Yahya Hekimbaşı in the 7th minute of play forced Harbiye FK's goalkeeper Onur İmar to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ulu Cihannur blasted a shot towards the goal in the 10th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Onur İmar having to make a save. In the 11th minute of the match Lütfullah Ağca shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Onur İmar showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. When Arif Ensar Yıldızhan fell near the penalty area in the 11th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Harbiye FK's protests and gave Arif Ensar Yıldızhan a yellow card for diving instead. In the 12th match minute, Harbiye FK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Arif Ensar Yıldızhan to maneuver through the defense.

The tension between the Harbiye FK and the Alacam players grew even worse after the yellow card. Gökhan Atay kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. Sertaç İhtişam, 30 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Abdulkadir Özerol sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

In the 41st play minute Yüksel Sait came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Muhittin Zekai. 2-0. 45 minutes into the match, Ulu Cihannur had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Onur İmar. Harbiye FK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ulu Cihannur was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-1 at half-time.

The wind increased when Ahmet Yahya Hekimbaşı made the kick off in the second half. Kuddusî Ataoğlu hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match. Yüksel Sait struck a weak shot in the 55th minute. Muhittin Zekai didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Harbiye FK. The supporters of Alacam booed when Harbiye FK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 56 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mustafa Hamit Tüzün didn't get a good kick on the ball. Instead of passing the ball, Sertaç İhtişam made a really hard long shot towards goal. Harbiye FK's Onur İmar realized he got lucky when he saw the ball passing the outside of the left post. If Yüksel Sait had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Abdulkadir Özerol came up free with the goalie in the 66th minute, the Alacam 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 Abdulkadir Özerol couldn't finish the play. Abdulkadir Özerol recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 67th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 71st minute, Nedim Akçakan ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Muhittin Zekai was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. After having played for 79 minutes, Yüksel Sait managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Harbiye FK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Yüksel Sait was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Nedim Akçakan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Muhittin Zekai tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 84th minute Yüksel Sait shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Muhittin Zekai saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

In the 92nd minute, Nedim Akçakan made a precise shot to the right of Muhittin Zekai. Alacam's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 4-1. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Harbiye FK fans cheered their team off the field, for while Alacam had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
