Spectators: 7248 (Terracing: 5437, Seating: 1667, VIP seats: 144) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Niyazi Lokman took the kick off in the first half of the match. A collision led to Manavgat getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Ahmet Hafiz İlsak hit a great ball. When the match had gone on for 12 minutes, Niyazi Lokman put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Demiralp Nurbaki. Türker Tuğsavaş showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Yavuz Bülent İlenç in the 17th minute of the match. In the 20th minute, Yunus Ekincioğlu got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Yunus Ekincioğlu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Demiralp Nurbaki having to interfere. When Manavgat's Niyazi Lokman, in the 26th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Manavgat. The supporters of GAZZE booed when Manavgat was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 26 match minutes in a wonderful position. Orkun Çağlar didn't get a good kick on the ball. Demiralp Nurbaki came out of the goal in the 29th minute to try and stop a shot by Manavgat's Yunus Ekincioğlu. But to his dismay, Yunus Ekincioğlu quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. Yunus Ekincioğlu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Demiralp Nurbaki having to interfere. When Bedir Saltukalp fell near the penalty area in the 37th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored GAZZE's protests and gave Bedir Saltukalp a yellow card for diving instead. The referee gave Manavgat a penalty, 38 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Orkun Çağlar, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of GAZZE's Demiralp Nurbaki. 0-3. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Niyazi Lokman in the 41st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Demiralp Nurbaki saved GAZZE from getting behind. Yunus Ekincioğlu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Demiralp Nurbaki tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

52 minutes into the match, Manavgat's Yunus Ekincioğlu sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Demiralp Nurbaki narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 56 minutes into the match, Yunus Ekincioğlu notched a goal, 0-4, to the right of GAZZE's Demiralp Nurbaki. Demiralp Nurbaki was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Alptuğ Saykal's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Türker Tuğsavaş read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 60th minute of play. Güneş Yenal struck a weak shot in the 66th minute. Türker Tuğsavaş didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for GAZZE. Demiralp Nurbaki showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Niyazi Lokman, who was totally free with the ball in the 72nd minute. The GAZZE fans' excitement grew in the 79th match minute when GAZZE's Güneş Yenal looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-4 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. 82 minutes into the game, Niyazi Lokman cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-5. Demiralp Nurbaki was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a rather tough play, Manavgat's Merih Boyraz got a free kick in the 86th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alptuğ Saykal in the 88th minute of play forced Manavgat's goalkeeper Türker Tuğsavaş to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Alptuğ Saykal came up free with the goalie in the 93rd minute, the GAZZE 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 Alptuğ Saykal couldn't finish the play. If Güneş Yenal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
