Spectators: 7504 (Terracing: 5629, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 149) Zikri Eracar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Durmuş Ayaydın, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Recep Talha Şömel hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. In the 10th minute the ball was on its way in behind Belen's goalkeeper Rıfkı İskender, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Zikri Eracar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Durmuş Ayaydın, who was totally free with the ball in the 12th minute. After 14 minutes of play, İSTANBUL's Fedai Türegün made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rıfkı İskender was left in no man's land by his defense there! Rıfkı İskender took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fedai Türegün, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Belen booed when İSTANBUL was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Recep Talha Şömel didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 30th minute Enis Behiç Yiğiter shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zikri Eracar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 32 played minutes İSTANBUL got a freekick which was hit by Anıl Mücahit Yildıran. Mustafa Kemal Toydeniz was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 33rd played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The crowd rose to their feet as Ardahan Tuncay kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Rıfkı İskender. That made the score 2-0 in the 38 minute of play. In the 42nd minute Enis Behiç Yiğiter shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zikri Eracar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Enis Behiç Yiğiter sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Yağızalp Bakırhan during the 47th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Yağızalp Bakırhan hit a great freekick 47 minutes into the match. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Fedai Türegün to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 53rd minute, Anıl Mücahit Yildıran hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Durmuş Ayaydın received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 54th minute.

In the 57th minute, Anıl Mücahit Yildıran hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Rıfkı İskender made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hakkı Pertev in the 60th minute of play. After having played for 66 minutes, Ardahan Tuncay managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. İSTANBUL's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ardahan Tuncay was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ardahan Tuncay recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 73rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 81st minute, Hakkı Pertev made a precise shot to the right of Rıfkı İskender. Belen's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-0. 85 minutes into the match, Belen's goal looked a bit too open when Fedai Türegün came free, but Rıfkı İskender reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Rıfkı İskender took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fedai Türegün, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a defensive mix-up in İSTANBUL's zone, Enis Behiç Yiğiter stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Zikri Eracar came out of the goal and Enis Behiç Yiğiter tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Hakkı Pertev in the 95th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Rıfkı İskender saved Belen from getting behind. Belen's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
