Spectators: 5005 (Terracing: 4005, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) A hard shot 5 in the game by Okanay Utman from a close distance when the talented Ali Kaan Uğursan managed to make a qualified save. Toros Kaplanları's players were relieved. An unexpectedly hard shot by Songurbey Türkmen in the 6th minute of play forced Toros Kaplanları's goalkeeper Ali Kaan Uğursan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 11th minute, Galatasaray's Okanay Utman ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Ali Kaan Uğursan. Ali Kaan Uğursan yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. Ziya Onur Evcimen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ziya Onur Evcimen hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. The supporters of Toros Kaplanları booed when Galatasaray was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 21 match minutes in a wonderful position. Musa Ortun didn't get a good kick on the ball. Alpay Tetiker scored 1-1 in the 26th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ferhat Atabey, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Galatasaray's Ferhat Atabey played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alpay Tetiker in the 28th minute of play. If Alpay Tetiker had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 39 played minutes Toros Kaplanları got a freekick which was hit by Mustafa Necati Yankı. In the 40th minute Okanay Utman shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ali Kaan Uğursan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Toros Kaplanları's Ali Kaan Uğursan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Songurbey Türkmen in the 43rd minute of play. In the 43rd minute, Mustafa Necati Yankı hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ferhat Atabey showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alpay Tetiker, who was totally free with the ball in the 46th minute. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ziya Onur Evcimen to make the kick off. Ziya Onur Evcimen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 54 minutes into the game, Songurbey Türkmen cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Ali Kaan Uğursan was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. When Songurbey Türkmen came up free with the goalie in the 56th minute, the Galatasaray 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 Songurbey Türkmen couldn't finish the play. Ali Kaan Uğursan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Songurbey Türkmen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 69 minutes, Affan Özgun mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Toros Kaplanları and the Galatasaray players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 69th minute, Affan Özgun hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ferhat Atabey showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ziya Onur Evcimen, who was totally free with the ball in the 72nd minute. 83 minutes into the match, Okanay Utman had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ali Kaan Uğursan. Toros Kaplanları's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Okanay Utman was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. When Çağan Geylan fell near the penalty area in the 88th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Galatasaray's protests and gave Çağan Geylan a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Toros Kaplanları booed when Galatasaray was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 89 match minutes in a wonderful position. Çağan Geylan didn't get a good kick on the ball. The long shot by Mustafa Necati Yankı in the 90th minute really tested Ferhat Atabey's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Musa Ortun's late challenge caught a Toros Kaplanları's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Musa Ortun helped the player get up and apologised. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Galatasaray fans cheered their team off the field, for while Toros Kaplanları had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
