Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Tanju Sezai got the match started through his kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Maden's goal looked a bit too open when Yavuz Selim Özgunes came free, but Alkan Ereken reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Orbay Yurdaer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 8 minutes, Tanju Sezai managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Usak's supporters crossed their fingers, but Tanju Sezai was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Alkan Ereken took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Yavuz Selim Özgunes, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Giray Zühtü couldn't finish the play. Tanju Sezai received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 38th minute. Alkan Ereken tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Tanju Sezai struck a weak shot in the 42nd minute. Alkan Ereken didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Usak. Yavuz Selim Özgunes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

In the 76th minute the ball was on its way in behind Maden's goalkeeper Alkan Ereken, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Tanju Sezai in the 77th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Alkan Ereken saved Maden from getting behind. Yavuz Selim Özgunes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Maden's Alkan Ereken played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tanju Sezai in the 85th minute of play. If Denizhan Kargin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Orbay Yurdaer fell near the penalty area in the 87th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Usak's protests and gave Orbay Yurdaer a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Maden booed when Usak was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Orbay Yurdaer didn't get a good kick on the ball. Yavuz Selim Özgunes fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alkan Ereken having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Maden's zone, Tanju Sezai stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Alkan Ereken came out of the goal and Tanju Sezai tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Usak were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
