Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Antal Valentin made the kick off which started today's match. In the 11th minute Antal Valentin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kasım Okanalp saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Antal Valentin in the 11th minute of play forced Niğdespor's goalkeeper Kasım Okanalp to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Major Barna had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Niğdespor's Laerte Marquez got a free kick in the 19th minute. In the 22nd match minute, Niğdespor was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Herbert Pazura to maneuver through the defense. Kasım Okanalp made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Antal Valentin in the 27th minute of play. Olgun Arabacı struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Fodor Daniel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Niğdespor. 33 minutes into the match, Niğdespor's goal looked a bit too open when Antal Valentin came free, but Kasım Okanalp reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Through an outstanding action, after 36 minutes, Fodor Daniel successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. 37 minutes into the game, Bakos Endre was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Hungary's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Niğdespor the free kick. In the 37th minute, Bakos Endre hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 38 minutes into the match, Hungary's goal looked a bit too open when Laerte Marquez came free, but Fodor Daniel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Fodor Daniel showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Olgun Arabacı, who was totally free with the ball in the 41st minute. Bakos Endre hit a great freekick 42 minutes into the match. 43 minutes into the match, Niğdespor's Herbert Pazura sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Fodor Daniel narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Niğdespor's Kasım Okanalp played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Antal Valentin in the 45th minute of play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

51 minutes into the match, Hungary's goal looked a bit too open when Olgun Arabacı came free, but Fodor Daniel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 53 minutes had been played when some careless play by Hungary's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Herbert Pazura was slow to take the kick. During this time Niğdespor's players had a chance to rest. In the 53rd minute, Laerte Marquez hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience thought a goal was coming when Antal Valentin got free with Kasım Okanalp in the 59th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After some fancy dribbling in the 68th minute, Antal Valentin managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hungary's supporters rose to their feet, but Antal Valentin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kasım Okanalp breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 71st minute the ball was on its way in behind Hungary's goalkeeper Fodor Daniel, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Thanks to some nice moves Antal Valentin could shoot a difficult shot in the 82nd minute, which Kasım Okanalp however easily saved by the left post. Balazs Lajos's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Kasım Okanalp firmly grabbed it by the left post. When the final whistle sounded Hungary left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Niğdespor.
