An unexpectedly hard shot by Ramiz Korcan in the 9th minute of play forced EFOR SP's goalkeeper Nurkan Kaçan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Oğuz Ulukut came out of the goal and Cemalettin Necip tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Erberk Toktimur had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Cemalettin Necip received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Oğuz Ulukut tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Emirşah Seccac fell near the penalty area in the 34th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

Oğuz Ulukut took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cemalettin Necip, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Mikail Talha hit a great freekick 78 minutes into the match. Cemalettin Necip was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 79th minute. EFOR SP's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Mikail Talha's late challenge caught a EFOR SP's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

Esentepe's Oğuz Ulukut tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Nurkan Kaçan came out of the goal in the 86th minute to try and stop a shot by Esentepe's Yusuf Ziya Ülküsel. But to his dismay, Yusuf Ziya Ülküsel quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-3. Erberk Toktimur who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 91stth minute tested the skills of Oğuz Ulukut when he managed to save the team from getting behind. After some fancy dribbling in the 93rd minute, Gencay Özkar managed to get in a good position for a shot. Esentepe's supporters rose to their feet, but Gencay Özkar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nurkan Kaçan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The audience thought a goal was coming when Erberk Toktimur got free with Oğuz Ulukut in the 97th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. For all the effort they put into the match, the EFOR SP players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Esentepe.
