Spectators: 7263 (Terracing: 5449, Seating: 1670, VIP seats: 144) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Bedirhan Tuğra kicked off to start the match. Öztürk Kaymaz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Tarkan Esendağ fell near the penalty area in the 6th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored North DUKe's protests and gave Tarkan Esendağ a yellow card for diving instead. North DUKe's Öztürk Kaymaz got a good chance for a goal in the 15th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Cemal Özerkmen made a fantastic save in the 17th minute, when Gürel Ekinci sent off a good shot on target. Öztürk Kaymaz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Arif Oğuz Özdeğer tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Gürel Ekinci got free with Cemal Özerkmen in the 20th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 26 minutes into the match, 61 TRABZONGULDAK 34's goal looked a bit too open when Tarkan Esendağ came free, but Arif Oğuz Özdeğer reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ali Macit Elmacıoğlu in the 27thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Cemal Özerkmen, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Bedirhan Tuğra recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After having played for 36 minutes, Gürel Ekinci managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 61 TRABZONGULDAK 34's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gürel Ekinci was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 39th minute, 61 TRABZONGULDAK 34's Meriç Mengü ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Cemal Özerkmen. Cemal Özerkmen yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. In the 42nd minute, Ali Macit Elmacıoğlu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Arif Oğuz Özdeğer showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bedirhan Tuğra, who was totally free with the ball in the 45th minute. If Bedirhan Tuğra had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 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.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Meriç Mengü stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Meriç Mengü fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cemal Özerkmen having to interfere. In the 58th minute Meriç Mengü shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cemal Özerkmen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Öztürk Kaymaz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arif Oğuz Özdeğer having to interfere. 62 minutes into the match, 61 TRABZONGULDAK 34's goalkeeper Arif Oğuz Özdeğer had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Öztürk Kaymaz. The supporters of 61 TRABZONGULDAK 34 booed when North DUKe was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 63 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vehdi İsmail didn't get a good kick on the ball.

In the 69th minute the ball was on its way in behind North DUKe's goalkeeper Cemal Özerkmen, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in 61 TRABZONGULDAK 34's zone, Öztürk Kaymaz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Arif Oğuz Özdeğer came out of the goal and Öztürk Kaymaz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

After some fancy dribbling in the 93rd minute, Meriç Mengü managed to get in a good position for a shot. 61 TRABZONGULDAK 34's supporters rose to their feet, but Meriç Mengü was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
