The supporters of IZMIR SK booed when Sivas SK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 5 match minutes in a wonderful position. Haşmet Tuğrul didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 6 played minutes, IZMIR SK's Zekai Akdemirci shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ahmet Hakan Bayülgen came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in IZMIR SK reached it. Anıl Ozan Usberk received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute.
