Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Naim Yertan started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. When Demir Özaslan fell near the penalty area in the 6th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Babadag's protests and gave Demir Özaslan a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Babadag getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Demir Özaslan hit a great ball. After recieving a nice pass, Findikzade's Ahmet Korcan Kemal tried to score from far away in the 7th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. After a rather tough play, Babadag's Ferhat Zahit got a free kick in the 14th minute. When Rafet Pekiner came up free with the goalie in the 17th minute, the Findikzade 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 Rafet Pekiner couldn't finish the play. If Rafet Demirkan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

After a defensive mix-up in Findikzade's zone, Naim Yertan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

After a rather tough play, Babadag's Yüksel Zağanos got a free kick in the 35th minute.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Cüneyt Kiram made a kick off. Rafet Demirkan came free with the goalkeeper in the 51st minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Abdulhamit Bakanay could save by the left post. Rafet Demirkan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Findikzade's Abdulhamit Bakanay proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 63rd minute of the match, managed to save Findikzade from getting a goal against them. After 72 minutes of play, Findikzade's Rafet Pekiner made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Olgun Erencan was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Cüneyt Kiram had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Rafet Pekiner scored 3-0 in the 93rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Olgun Erencan, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
