Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Akgün Tokdemir started the match with the kick off. Adiyaman's Doğa Terzioğlu got a good chance for a goal in the 3rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Akgün Tokdemir had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Akgün Tokdemir's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Işıkalp Uğurel read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 15th minute of play. After 18 minutes, Neşat Özgener mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Adiyaman and the Eorlingas United players grew even worse after the yellow card. Neşat Özgener hit a great freekick 18 minutes into the match. Mehmet Hamdi Ortunc showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Özer Tanalp, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. In the 22nd play minute Doğa Terzioğlu came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Işıkalp Uğurel. 1-0. 27 minutes into the match, Adiyaman's goal looked a bit too open when Özer Tanalp came free, but Mehmet Hamdi Ortunc reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 31st minute, Özer Tanalp managed to get in a good position for a shot. Eorlingas United's supporters rose to their feet, but Özer Tanalp was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Mehmet Hamdi Ortunc breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a defensive mix-up in Adiyaman's zone, Özer Tanalp stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.
