If Buğra Özboga had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 9th minute, Yusuf Bahadır Özkutlu fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. Abdulkadir Özel hit a great freekick 12 minutes into the match. Erhun Suay was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 16th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal.

The referee ignored Çaykur Rize Spor Klubü's protests and gave Aykan Arıtan a yellow card for diving instead. In the 61st minute, Aykan Arıtan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Biga FK's Merih Orgun played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yusuf Bahadır Özkutlu in the 65th minute of play.
