Spectators: 6702 (Terracing: 5020, Seating: 1662, VIP seats: 20) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ramazan Özerdem took the kick off in the first half of the match. The supporters of Elbeyli booed when Stronghold FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Boğaç Refi didn't get a good kick on the ball. The attack was good, but when Habib Himmet in the 7th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. In the 10th minute, Habib Himmet ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Hakkı Onur Uluşahin was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Hakkı Onur Uluşahin made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ferit Tükelalp in the 14th minute of play. Hazar Ocakçı charged in rather forcefully in the 19th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

Hakkı Onur Uluşahin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ferit Tükelalp, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 24 minutes of play, Elbeyli's Ferit Tükelalp made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Ferit Tükelalp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Habib Himmet received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Hakkı Onur Uluşahin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Atilla Kağan Sefer fell near the penalty area in the 32nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Stronghold FC's protests and gave Atilla Kağan Sefer a yellow card for diving instead.

Habib Himmet was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 78th minute. Elbeyli's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. If Hüsmen Doğu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
