Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000,

Sultanhamam's Kadir Akdurmuş played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bedir Tatu in the 3rd minute of play. If Duman Baysal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The crowd rose to their feet as Sultanhamam's Alptuğ Talayer slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Namık Kemal Yüce. That made the score 2-0 after 35 minutes of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 41st minute, Baybars Birsoy managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Namık Kemal Yüce breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Duman Baysal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 47 minutes into the match, Sultanhamam's goal looked a bit too open when Bedir Tatu came free, but Kadir Akdurmuş reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Yakup Kadri Beybolat's late challenge caught a Sultanhamam's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Yakup Kadri Beybolat helped the player get up and apologised.
When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Bedir Tatu made a kick off. Kadir Akdurmuş didn't succeed to prevent the ball from going into goal when Zara's Bedir Tatu shot an unexpected shot in the crossbar's under edge and made 2-1 in the ordered_time% minute. Abbas Varol might have been able to make a better finish in the 58th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Namık Kemal Yüce. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Abbas Varol ran back to his position shaking his head. After 66 minutes, Alptuğ Talayer mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Sultanhamam and the Zara players grew even worse after the yellow card. Alptuğ Talayer kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. A collision led to Sultanhamam getting a freekick after 73 minutes play. Meriç Altuğ hit a great ball. In the 73rd minute Bedir Tatu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kadir Akdurmuş saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Kadir Akdurmuş showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bedir Tatu, who was totally free with the ball in the 75th minute. With a little luck, Sultanhamam's Kadir Akdurmuş got control of the ball when Duman Baysal tried to sneak it across the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Duman Baysal got free with Kadir Akdurmuş in the 78th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Bedir Tatu struck a weak shot in the 81st minute. Kadir Akdurmuş didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Zara.
