Spectators: 7256 (Terracing: 5443, Seating: 1669, VIP seats: 144) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Sermet Tayguner got the match started through his kick off. After a rather tough play, Galatasaray's Arda Baybars Naim got a free kick in the 4th minute. After 5 played minutes, Karakocan SK's Ragıp Akhan shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Hürkan Şah came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Karakocan SK reached it. If Sermet Tayguner had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Hürkan Şah showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sermet Tayguner in the 11th minute of the match.

Tayyip Ulusoy sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

A hard shot 38 in the game by Hilmi Korkutalp from a close distance when the talented Sezai Uğurata managed to make a qualified save. Karakocan SK's players were relieved. Hürkan Şah took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mehmet Bedri Uluşahin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the match clock showed 42 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Sermet Tayguner sped through Galatasaray's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Hürkan Şah.

The referee showed Zikri İlkan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 65 minutes into the game, Gencay Sefaaddin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Karakocan SK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Galatasaray the free kick. Gencay Sefaaddin hit a great freekick 66 minutes into the match. In the 71st minute, Sermet Tayguner fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Hürkan Şah, passed just outside the right post. With a little luck, Galatasaray's Hürkan Şah got control of the ball when Mehmet Bedri Uluşahin tried to sneak it across the goal line. Mehmet Bedri Uluşahin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 76th minute. Hürkan Şah tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 77th minute Sermet Tayguner shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hürkan Şah saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Sezai Uğurata made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tayyip Ulusoy in the 86th minute of play. Thanks to some nice moves Mehmet Bedri Uluşahin could shoot a difficult shot in the 93rd minute, which Hürkan Şah however easily saved by the left post. Karakocan SK played a much better game than Galatasaray and deserved their victory. The Galatasaray players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
