Spectators: 7386 (Terracing: 5541, Seating: 1698, VIP seats: 147) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Kubat Taşcan got the match started through his kick off. After having played for 6 minutes, Murat Salikbey managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. YEŞİL BURSA SPOR's supporters crossed their fingers, but Murat Salikbey was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Özgün Canal didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 10th minute, which inside left pole to 1-0. Mesut Erten's late challenge caught a YEŞİL BURSA SPOR's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Mesut Erten helped the player get up and apologised. Mesut Erten hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. Ali Tunçhan showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kubat Taşcan, who was totally free with the ball in the 18th minute. Nebi Sarphan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Cankut Tumbay sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kubat Taşcan in the 24th minute of play forced YEŞİL BURSA SPOR's goalkeeper Ali Tunçhan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Orhun Başat had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. YEŞİL BURSA SPOR made a substitution. Mert Türker replaced Murat Salikbey. When Nebi Sarphan came up free with the goalie in the 44th minute, the YEŞİL BURSA SPOR 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 Nebi Sarphan couldn't finish the play. In the 48th minute Nebi Sarphan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Özgün Canal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Nebi Sarphan to make the kick off. When Mesut Erten was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 54 minutes had been played. In a very dangerous position, a player in Straniia SK fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 53rd minute. Penalty! After having played for 60 minutes, Nebi Sarphan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. YEŞİL BURSA SPOR's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nebi Sarphan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Orhun Başat sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 68 minutes into the game, Kubat Taşcan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Straniia SK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave YEŞİL BURSA SPOR the free kick. 79 minutes into the match, Straniia SK's goal looked a bit too open when Nebi Sarphan came free, but Özgün Canal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 82 played minutes YEŞİL BURSA SPOR got a freekick which was hit by Gaffar Hancı. 84 minutes into the match, Straniia SK's goal looked a bit too open when Nebi Sarphan came free, but Özgün Canal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 86th minute the ball was on its way in behind Straniia SK's goalkeeper Özgün Canal, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Nebi Sarphan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 91st minute. Özgün Canal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. YEŞİL BURSA SPOR fully deserved thier win.
