Spectators: 5928 (Terracing: 5408, Seating: 500, VIP seats: 20) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Saruhan Özgebay made the kick off which started today's match. If Özen Dilsuz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ersisspor's Kuddusî Usalan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Özen Dilsuz in the 8th minute of play. Tuncer Kulan charged in rather forcefully in the 9th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Tuncer Kulan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 9th minute, Tuncer Kulan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Okan Pektay, 10 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Through an outstanding action, after 12 minutes, Ayberk Kutluay successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. The audience was convinced that Arif Ozan Umur's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Kuddusî Usalan was relentless in the 15th minute of the game. Atak Yatman hit a great freekick 22 minutes into the match. Arif Ozan Umur fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kuddusî Usalan having to interfere. 28 minutes had been played when some careless play by Ersisspor's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Okan Pektay was slow to take the kick. During this time Kütahya FK's players had a chance to rest. Okan Pektay made a great header on Kütahya FK's corner, it was just that Ersisspor's Kuddusî Usalan managed to reach the ball for a save. Arif Ozan Umur struck a weak shot in the 29th minute. Kuddusî Usalan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kütahya FK. 33 minutes into the match, Ersisspor's goal looked a bit too open when Özen Dilsuz came free, but Kuddusî Usalan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some careless play in the Ersisspor defense, Arif Ozan Umur kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Kuddusî Usalan. The Ersisspor fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Kuddusî Usalan should have stopped the shot. Kütahya FK's defense didn't have a chance, in the 41st minute, when Saruhan Özgebay scored to the left of an out of position Ayberk Kutluay, making the score, 1-1. When Özen Dilsuz came up free with the goalie in the 43rd minute, the Kütahya FK fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Özen Dilsuz couldn't finish the play. Arif Ozan Umur's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Kuddusî Usalan read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 45th minute of play. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Özen Dilsuz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Bilge Kağan Güleryüz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 74 minutes, Melih Acarbey mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Kütahya FK and the Ersisspor players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 74 played minutes Kütahya FK got a freekick which was hit by Melih Acarbey. Ayberk Kutluay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bilge Kağan Güleryüz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Özen Dilsuz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Kuddusî Usalan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Özen Dilsuz who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 82ndth minute tested the skills of Kuddusî Usalan when he managed to save the team from getting behind.

Kütahya FK's supporters rose to their feet, but Arif Ozan Umur was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kuddusî Usalan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.
