Sivasli Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Bahtiyar Işınsu took the kick off in the first half of the match. After having played for 9 minutes, Tibet Tanrıverdi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sivasli's supporters crossed their fingers, but Tibet Tanrıverdi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Aycan Sebuk got in the 14th a clear chance and fired away a hard shot against goal, but Batuhan Afşaroğlu handled the situation perfectly and made a save by the crossbar. In the 17th match minute, Balmumcu JK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Timur Salikbey to maneuver through the defense. In the 19th minute Bahtiyar Işınsu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Batuhan Afşaroğlu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 25 minutes into the match, Sivasli's goal looked a bit too open when Seyhan Ergüner came free, but Hüseyin Turan Çelenkoğlu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Seyhan Ergüner received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Hüseyin Turan Çelenkoğlu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 39 minutes into the match, Sivasli's Aycan Sebuk sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Batuhan Afşaroğlu narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 40th minute, Balmumcu JK's Erdi Yuluğ seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Erdi Yuluğ the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Balmumcu JK protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Erdi Yuluğ had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 40 minutes into the game, one of Balmumcu JK:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty.

Aycan Sebuk sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.

After a defensive mix-up in Balmumcu JK's zone, Aycan Sebuk stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Batuhan Afşaroğlu came out of the goal and Aycan Sebuk tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 72nd minute, Bahtiyar Işınsu managed to get in a good position for a shot.
