Spectators: 6676 (Terracing: 5010, Seating: 1656, VIP seats: 10) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Zekeriya Mertkal got the match started through his kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Aktuğ Ozansu managed to get in a good position for a shot. Aralik SK's supporters rose to their feet, but Aktuğ Ozansu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Yiğit Can Zihni breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 6thth minute of the game Aktuğ Ozansu who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Alpu JK's Yiğit Can Zihni was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. After having played for 8 minutes, Zekeriya Mertkal managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Alpu JK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zekeriya Mertkal was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 16 minutes into the game, Aktuğ Ozansu cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Yiğit Can Zihni was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 20 minutes into the match, Ceyhan Yakup had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Yiğit Can Zihni. Alpu JK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ceyhan Yakup was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. Aktuğ Ozansu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yiğit Can Zihni having to interfere. Yağızalp Ustam charged in rather forcefully in the 25th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Yağızalp Ustam the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Zekeriya Mertkal could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 28th minute of the match, but Resul Berksoy made a huge save. Aktuğ Ozansu might have been able to make a better finish in the 33rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Yiğit Can Zihni. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Aktuğ Ozansu ran back to his position shaking his head. A collision led to Aralik SK getting a freekick after 42 minutes play. Selman Kutal hit a great ball. Ceyhan Yakup sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

The wind increased when Aktuğ Ozansu made the kick off in the second half. Resul Berksoy made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Zekeriya Mertkal in the 61st minute of play. Mahir Murat's late challenge caught a Alpu JK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Mahir Murat helped the player get up and apologised. Ceyhan Yakup received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 65th minute. Yiğit Can Zihni tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Yiğit Can Zihni was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Aktuğ Ozansu showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-3 in the 67 minute of play. Ceyhan Yakup recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 77th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Aralik SK's Resul Berksoy played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yağızalp Ustam in the 80th minute of play. If Zekeriya Mertkal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Zekeriya Mertkal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Resul Berksoy having to interfere. Abdurrahman Tecelli's late challenge caught a Aralik SK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Abdurrahman Tecelli helped the player get up and apologised. After 86 played minutes Alpu JK got a freekick which was hit by Abdurrahman Tecelli. Ceyhan Yakup made a well adjusted shot against goal in the 93rdth minute coming free in front of the goal, but Yiğit Can Zihni would not let the ball come through at any expense and made a nice save by the left post. When the match was over Aralik SK could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Alpu JK throughout the match.
