Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Chris Nygaard started the match with the kick off. Keld Paulsen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ernest Aldulescu in the 6th minute of the match. Through an outstanding action, after 8 minutes, Rüstem Akatay successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Denmark's Keld Paulsen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hikmet Türkoğlu in the 11th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in DEMİREL.FC's zone, Chris Nygaard stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rüstem Akatay came out of the goal and Chris Nygaard tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The supporters of Denmark booed when DEMİREL.FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 28 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zühtü Tamer didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rüstem Akatay showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Chris Nygaard, who was totally free with the ball in the 29th minute. In the 30th minute of the match, Chris Nygaard tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Rüstem Akatay saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. After 31 played minutes Denmark got a freekick which was hit by Lars Steen. Keld Paulsen showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Zühtü Tamer in the 33rd minute of the match.

A throw-in in the 39th minute of the game was made by Mehmet Ediz Samim with Kamber Çetiner as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. Keld Paulsen took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zühtü Tamer, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 46 minutes into the match, Sancarbey Çinuçin had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Keld Paulsen. Denmark's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Sancarbey Çinuçin was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Zühtü Tamer to make the kick off. After 51 minutes of play, Denmark's Olav Graversen made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rüstem Akatay was left in no man's land by his defense there! Simon Bendtsen's late challenge caught a DEMİREL.FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Simon Bendtsen helped the player get up and apologised. In the 56th minute of the match Kazım Yalçın sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Keld Paulsen skillfully saved the ball. Denmark's Chris Nygaard got a good chance for a goal in the 58th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 59th minute, Hikmet Türkoğlu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rüstem Akatay showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Chris Nygaard in the 61st minute of the match. Keld Paulsen made an important save on a dangerous shot by Zühtü Tamer in the 64th minute. Mehmet Ediz Samim made in the 67th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Ernest Aldulescu however managed to control. If Sancarbey Çinuçin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Kamber Çetiner got a throw-in 70 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Zühtü Tamer. The supporters of Denmark booed when DEMİREL.FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kamber Çetiner didn't get a good kick on the ball. Bertram Svenningsen struck a weak shot in the 77th minute. Rüstem Akatay didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Denmark. After having played for 88 minutes, Zühtü Tamer managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. DEMİREL.FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zühtü Tamer was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 96 minutes into the game, Denmark's Olav Graversen nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Rüstem Akatay made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 4-1.
