Spectators: 7450 (Terracing: 5589, Seating: 1713, VIP seats: 148) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Abuzer Birtan got the match started through his kick off. Abuzer Birtan might have been able to make a better finish in the 3rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Mehmet Emre Bilen. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Abuzer Birtan ran back to his position shaking his head. Batıhan Koçak charged in rather forcefully in the 4th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Batıhan Koçak the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 4th match minute, Düzce SK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Batıhan Koçak to maneuver through the defense. In the 6th minute of the match Arteka FC got a corner. Düzce SK's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Naim Dirsehan ran over to the corner to take the kick. A nice corner shot did that Naim Dirsehan got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Mehmet Emre Bilen quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. Mehmet Emre Bilen came out of the goal in the 10th minute to try and stop a shot by Arteka FC's Abuzer Birtan. But to his dismay, Abuzer Birtan quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. Fikret Erbaş took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Pars Ömür, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Abuzer Birtan struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. Mehmet Emre Bilen didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Arteka FC. 19 minutes into the match, Sadettin Ankara had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Fikret Erbaş. Arteka FC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Sadettin Ankara was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. If Abuzer Birtan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After a rather tough play, Düzce SK's Fuat Uçur got a free kick in the 24th minute. When Ahmet Bedri Selil came up free with the goalie in the 28th minute, the Arteka FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ahmet Bedri Selil couldn't finish the play. Ahmet Bedri Selil recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 30th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Abuzer Birtans short, quick shot in the 31stth minute got Mehmet Emre Bilen to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. The audience was convinced that Ahmet Bedri Selil's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mehmet Emre Bilen was relentless in the 35th minute of the game. Fikret Erbaş came out of the goal in the 36th minute to try and stop a shot by Düzce SK's Batıhan Koçak. But to his dismay, Batıhan Koçak quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. In the 40th minute Pars Ömür shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fikret Erbaş saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Fikret Erbaş took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sadettin Ankara, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 48 minutes into the game, Sadettin Ankara cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-3. Fikret Erbaş was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 2-3.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Sadettin Ankara made a kick off. Arteka FC's Ahmet Bedri Selil got a good chance for a goal in the 55th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Yenal Sezen's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mehmet Emre Bilen was relentless in the 60th minute of the game. Arteka FC's Fikret Erbaş proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 63rd minute of the match, managed to save Arteka FC from getting a goal against them. 71 minutes into the match, Ahmet Bedri Selil had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Mehmet Emre Bilen.
