After 5 minutes of play, AC Eskisehir's Ali Nabi Uçarer made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Alexander Higgins was left in no man's land by his defense there! Erdi Kural lost his temper 10 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In the 9th minute, one of AC Eskisehir:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for AC Eskisehir.

AC Eskisehir's Hayyam Yöner played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Robert McNeill in the 12th minute of play. If Fletcher Main had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 22 minutes into the game, AC Eskisehir's Güralp Yasin nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Alexander Higgins made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-3. 26 minutes into the match, Güralp Yasin notched a goal, 0-4, to the right of Scotland's Alexander Higgins. Alexander Higgins was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Duran Özerkmen's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Alexander Higgins read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 32nd minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 33rd minute, İlhami Ayık managed to get in a good position for a shot. AC Eskisehir's supporters rose to their feet, but İlhami Ayık was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Alexander Higgins breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 35 minutes of play, AC Eskisehir's Ayvaz Önel made it 0-6 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Alexander Higgins was left in no man's land by his defense there! AC Eskisehir's Ayvaz Önel got a good chance for a goal in the 39th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Ayvaz Önel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 40th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 42nd minute, Güralp Yasin ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Alexander Higgins was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-7. In the 46thth minute of the game Güralp Yasin who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Scotland's Alexander Higgins was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Hayyam Yöner took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fletcher Main, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 47 minutes, Bünyamin Tugay mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the AC Eskisehir and the Scotland players grew even worse after the yellow card. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-7 lead.

Fletcher Main kicked well hit freekick during the 54th minute of the match. Scotland's Alexander Higgins played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Güralp Yasin in the 72nd minute of play.

The audience thought a goal was coming when Güralp Yasin got free with Alexander Higgins in the 92nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Scotland's Alexander Higgins proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 94th minute of the match, managed to save Scotland from getting a goal against them. When the match was over AC Eskisehir could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Scotland throughout the match.
