An unexpectedly hard shot by Birant Dengizer in the 8th minute of play forced Tortum FK's goalkeeper Mehdi Tuğaltan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Hasan Can Oncubay received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Mehdi Tuğaltan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Hasan Can Oncubay sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Birant Dengizer in the 17th minute of play forced Tortum FK's goalkeeper Mehdi Tuğaltan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Yavuz Beyhan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Birant Dengizer in the 34th minute of play forced Tortum FK's goalkeeper Mehdi Tuğaltan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Eyüp Uskan's late challenge caught a Balya FK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Eyüp Uskan helped the player get up and apologised. Eyüp Uskan hit a great freekick 40 minutes into the match. Celal Bilgehan hit a great freekick 46 minutes into the match. After 46 played minutes, Balya FK's Enginalp Kadirsah shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Mehdi Tuğaltan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Balya FK reached it. After a rather tough play, Tortum FK's İzzettin Bengisoy got a free kick in the 47th minute. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Birant Dengizer stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Mehdi Tuğaltan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Birant Dengizer, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Tortum FK's goalie and right to Müfit Şahbaz. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Tortum FK's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. After having played for 61 minutes, Eyüp Uskan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tortum FK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Eyüp Uskan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 63 minutes into the game, Yavuz Beyhan cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Şener İdris was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Hasan Can Oncubay received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Mehdi Tuğaltan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Hasan Can Oncubay might have been able to make a better finish in the 75th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Mehdi Tuğaltan. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Hasan Can Oncubay ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eyüp Uskan in the 80th minute of play forced Balya FK's goalkeeper Şener İdris to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Eyüp Uskan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Birant Dengizer sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Yavuz Beyhan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 96th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Balya FK's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
