Yavuz Bülent Halıcı was out of position in the 3 minute of play, and Efe Sarı capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Efe Sarı really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. Şener Erbens short, quick shot in the 6thth minute got Yavuz Bülent Halıcı to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. 8 minutes into the match, Gemerek SK's goal looked a bit too open when Efe Sarı came free, but Yavuz Bülent Halıcı reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The referee showed Atacan Irgatbaşı the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Atacan Irgatbaşı kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. 64 minutes into the game, Ali Galip Namık was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.
