Spectators: 7208 (Terracing: 5408, Seating: 1657, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Arda Baybars Barlas made the kick off which started today's match. After having played for 4 minutes, Rüstem Usbey managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. KULA SK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Rüstem Usbey 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 6th minute of the match Doğuş Evvel shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Bahri Barın showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. KULA SK's Mehmet Çağrı Cumhur pulled a muscle in his leg after 7 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Mert Kalagay's late challenge caught a KULA SK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Mert Kalagay helped the player get up and apologised. Mert Kalagay hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. Güntekin Tanju received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 21st minute. Bahri Barın tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

A wasted opportunity for Fikirtepe. 37 minutes into the match, Fikirtepe's goal looked a bit too open when Güntekin Tanju came free, but Bahri Barın reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
