With a couple of smart ball manuevers Mümtaz Veli in the 7th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ender Hatemoğlu saved Galatasaray F.C from getting behind. Buğra Akıncı was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 10 minutes into the match. Şener Akçakoca didn't miss a given chance and shot in short distance 1-0 via right post in the game's 13th minute. Galatasaray F.C's supporters showed their exhuberating excitement! In the 19th minute, Şener Akçakoca 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. Mümtaz Veli struck a weak shot in the 21st minute. Ender Hatemoğlu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for PSG. After a rather tough play, Galatasaray F.C's Ufuk Birsel got a free kick in the 25th minute. Şener Akçakoca could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 27th minute of the match, but Baki İdris made a huge save. Ali Ömer Cilasun sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in Galatasaray F.C's zone, Mümtaz Veli stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ender Hatemoğlu came out of the goal and Mümtaz Veli tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Alkın Sureha struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Ender Hatemoğlu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for PSG. In the 44th minute Ali Ömer Cilasun shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Baki İdris saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ender Hatemoğlu didn't succeed to prevent the ball from going into goal when PSG's Alkın Sureha shot an unexpected shot in the crossbar's under edge and made 1-1 in the ordered_time% minute. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ali Ömer Cilasun to make the kick off. A collision led to PSG getting a freekick after 56 minutes play. Seyrani Ataoğlu hit a great ball. If Mümtaz Veli had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 75 minutes of play, Galatasaray F.C's Ali Ömer Cilasun made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Baki İdris was left in no man's land by his defense there! The crowd rose to their feet as PSG's Seyrani Ataoğlu slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Ender Hatemoğlu. That made the score 2-2 after 78 minutes of play. Arkın Oğuzbay charged in rather forcefully in the 81st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Arkın Oğuzbay the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Galatasaray F.C getting a freekick after 82 minutes play. Arkın Oğuzbay hit a great ball. The long shot by Buğra Tunay in the 83rd minute really tested Ender Hatemoğlu's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Mümtaz Veli struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Ender Hatemoğlu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for PSG. Mümtaz Veli made a well adjusted shot against goal in the 87thth minute coming free in front of the goal, but Ender Hatemoğlu would not let the ball come through at any expense and made a nice save by the left post. Mümtaz Veli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ali Ömer Cilasun fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Baki İdris having to interfere. Galatasaray F.C succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though PSG had controlled the match.
