Arslan İdrisoğlu showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. In the 7th minute Yücel Başhekim shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aşır Hürkan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Saltuk Başay showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ali Galip Özaltan in the 9th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Eskişehir Jimnastik Klübü's Metin Öztanır got a free kick in the 20th minute. In the 23rd minute, Ali Galip Özaltan ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Saltuk Başay was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. 31 minutes into the game, Raik Rikap recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Aşır Hürkan. Raik Rikap showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-1. Atak Bağış might have been able to make a better finish in the 35th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Saltuk Başay. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Atak Bağış ran back to his position shaking his head. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-1.

The wind increased when Ali Galip Özaltan made the kick off in the second half. After 51 played minutes Ekmek Spor got a freekick which was hit by Atak Bağış. When Arslan İdrisoğlu came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the Eskişehir Jimnastik Klübü 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 Arslan İdrisoğlu couldn't finish the play. After 54 played minutes Ekmek Spor got a freekick which was hit by Orbay Ertuna. In the 61st minute, Eskişehir Jimnastik Klübü's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Ali Galip Özaltan fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Aşır Hürkan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Yücel Başhekim, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 69 minutes, Atak Bağış managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ekmek Spor's supporters crossed their fingers, but Atak Bağış was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Raik Rikap in the 77th minute of play forced Ekmek Spor's goalkeeper Aşır Hürkan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Ali Galip Özaltan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ali Galip Özaltans short, quick shot in the 80thth minute got Saltuk Başay to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. When Oğuzalp Deniz fell near the penalty area in the 84th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ekmek Spor's protests and gave Oğuzalp Deniz a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Ekmek Spor's Oğuzalp Deniz got a free kick in the 84th minute. In the 87th minute of the match, Şahap Beyzade tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Saltuk Başay saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Ali Galip Özaltan in the 89thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Saltuk Başay, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. The supporters of Ekmek Spor booed when Eskişehir Jimnastik Klübü was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Raik Rikap didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 94 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Eskişehir Jimnastik Klübü! The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
