After a rather tough play, Catalca's Gökmen Çol got a free kick in the 12th minute. If Can Dilazad had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute.

After having played for 28 minutes, Necat Eker managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Catalca's supporters crossed their fingers, but Necat Eker was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Atabey Erdemli during the 29th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A collision led to HéLLFiRé getting a freekick after 29 minutes play. Atabey Erdemli hit a great ball. Bora Raci came out of the goal in the 31st minute to try and stop a shot by Catalca's Mehmet Emrah Şerif.

The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Battal Yerel made a kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Necat Eker in the 54th minute of play forced HéLLFiRé's goalkeeper Bora Raci to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Bora Raci made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Necat Eker in the 88th minute of play. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Catalca walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
