Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Kutalp Usal started the match with the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Devrekhane SK's zone, Mehmet Bedri Oktan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Anıl Baran Özender came out of the goal and Mehmet Bedri Oktan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 8th minute, Hürkan Ünsi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Fetih Çağlar took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 9th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Anıl Baran Özender. Devrekhane SK's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mehmet Bedri Oktan in the 10th minute of play forced Devrekhane SK's goalkeeper Anıl Baran Özender to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Anıl Baran Özender stood somewhat misplaced when Mehmet Bedri Oktan came free in front of goal and shot 1-0 to the left of him in the 20 minute.

Mehmet Bedri Oktan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute.

Anıl Baran Özender showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Başaran Sancaktar, who was totally free with the ball in the 54th minute. In the 55th minute the ball was on its way in behind Devrekhane SK's goalkeeper Anıl Baran Özender, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

Öztürk Ulucağ kicked well hit freekick during the 59th minute of the match. In the 59th minute, Fetih Çağlar sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Devrekhane SK's Anıl Baran Özender didn't even have to move. If Alim Ayık had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 70th minute, Başaran Sancaktar got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Anıl Baran Özender took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Başaran Sancaktar, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 83 minutes into the match, TuRKiYe's Mehmet Bedri Oktan sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Anıl Baran Özender narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Başaran Sancaktar might have been able to make a better finish in the 94th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Anıl Baran Özender. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Başaran Sancaktar ran back to his position shaking his head. After some careless play in the Devrekhane SK defense, Mehmet Bedri Oktan kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Anıl Baran Özender. The Devrekhane SK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Anıl Baran Özender should have stopped the shot. There was no doubt that TuRKiYe were the better team. TuRKiYe's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
