Spectators: 7204 (Terracing: 5405, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Güner Yiğitcan made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute, Adil Sazak left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The ÜLKÜCÜ GENÇLİK fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Ümit Ekin didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Baykam Oğuztüzün went, in the 7th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. 10 minutes into the match, Balamir Youth Academy's goal looked a bit too open when Baykam Oğuztüzün came free, but Ümit Ekin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Baykam Oğuztüzün came up free with the goalie in the 17th minute, the ÜLKÜCÜ GENÇLİK 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 Baykam Oğuztüzün couldn't finish the play. 24 minutes into the match, ÜLKÜCÜ GENÇLİK's goalkeeper Ferdi Ruşen had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Burç Yalaza. The audience was convinced that Baykam Oğuztüzün's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ümit Ekin was relentless in the 25th minute of the game.
