Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Sezer Rikap got the match started through his kick off. Güntekin Zaik showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Gökçen Taşboğa in the 3rd minute of the match. The audience was convinced that Gökçen Taşboğa's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Güntekin Zaik was relentless in the 4th minute of the game. Cay's Gökmen Guftar suffered a sore thigh after 5 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Mustafa Hakan Rıza's late challenge caught a Cay's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain.

With a little luck, Cay's Batıkan Öksüzoğlu got control of the ball when Arda Göksel Eraltay tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Ferhan Toker had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Arda Göksel Eraltay managed to get in a good position for a shot. RRU61's supporters rose to their feet, but Arda Göksel Eraltay was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

RRU61's supporters crossed their fingers, but Arda Göksel Eraltay was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Batıkan Öksüzoğlu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Arda Göksel Eraltay, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 89 minutes into the game, Sinan Subahi was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.
