Spectators: 7248 (Terracing: 5437, Seating: 1667, VIP seats: 144) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Hüsrev Tekindağ kicked off to start the match. After having played for 4 minutes, Görkem Toker managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kusadasi SK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Görkem Toker was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Görkem Toker who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 7thth minute tested the skills of Çetin Akçakoca when he managed to save the team from getting behind. If Şevket Balaban had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hüsrev Tekindağ sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hüsrev Tekindağ in the 19th minute of play forced Kusadasi SK's goalkeeper Cumali Alatay to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 21 minutes of play, Özvatan SK's Hüsrev Tekindağ made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Cumali Alatay was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 34th minute Hüsrev Tekindağ shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cumali Alatay saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Hayrettin Özben hit a great freekick 37 minutes into the match. If Görkem Toker had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hayyam Şerif sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The Kusadasi SK players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Özvatan SK were winning 0-1.

52 minutes into the match, Kusadasi SK's goal looked a bit too open when Hüsrev Tekindağ came free, but Cumali Alatay reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 54th minute Hüsrev Tekindağ shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cumali Alatay saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Görkem Toker received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Çetin Akçakoca tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Cumali Alatay showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hüsrev Tekindağ, who was totally free with the ball in the 66th minute. In the 67th minute, Batıkan Ramazan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Hayyam Şerif sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Through an outstanding action, after 72 minutes, Cumali Alatay successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. 73 minutes into the game, Batıkan Ramazan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Kusadasi SK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Özvatan SK the free kick. In the 73rd match minute, Kusadasi SK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Batıkan Ramazan to maneuver through the defense. After 80 minutes of play Özvatan SK's Hayrettin Özben was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. The supporters of Kusadasi SK booed when Özvatan SK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 81 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hayrettin Özben didn't get a good kick on the ball. Çetin Akçakoca made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Görkem Toker in the 82nd minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Görkem Toker managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kusadasi SK's supporters rose to their feet, but Görkem Toker was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Çetin Akçakoca breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Cumali Alatay was a little too slow when Hayyam Şerif got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 89th minute. The score was now 0-2. Çetin Akçakoca made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Şevket Balaban in the 93rd minute of play. If Görkem Toker had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Özvatan SK played a much better game than Kusadasi SK and deserved their victory. The Kusadasi SK players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
