Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Saruhan Beycan made the kick off and thus started the match. OwlRaider Football Club's Mürsel Usluer pulled a muscle in his back after 2 minutes and couldn't finish the game. After 2 minutes, Okan Şanberk mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Halkapinar and the OwlRaider Football Club players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Halkapinar getting a freekick after 3 minutes play. Okan Şanberk hit a great ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Merih Özgurcan managed to get in a good position for a shot. OwlRaider Football Club's supporters rose to their feet, but Merih Özgurcan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. İbrahim Sermet breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 17 minutes into the game, Merih Özgurcan cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. İbrahim Sermet was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After 21 played minutes OwlRaider Football Club got a freekick which was hit by Berkay Taşel. Berkay Taşel charged in rather forcefully in the 25th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Berkay Taşel the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. If Saruhan Beycan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Müfit Taycan scored 2-1 in the 41st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of İbrahim Sermet, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Adnan Tigin during the 46th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Adnan Tigin hit a great freekick 46 minutes into the match. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Merih Özgurcan to make the kick off. Saruhan Beycan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Buğra Süleymanoğlu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Berkay Taşel sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The crowd rose to their feet as Halkapinar's Atilla Tarkan Özerdem slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Buğra Süleymanoğlu. That made the score 2-2 after 61 minutes of play. After a rather tough play, OwlRaider Football Club's Merih Özgurcan got a free kick in the 69th minute. Merih Özgurcan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Merih Özgurcan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without İbrahim Sermet having to interfere.

The Halkapinar fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that İbrahim Sermet should have stopped the shot. 96 minutes into the match, OwlRaider Football Club's Merih Özgurcan sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that İbrahim Sermet narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
