Spectators: 7274 (Terracing: 5457, Seating: 1673, VIP seats: 144) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Cuma Cihansah kicked off to start the match. Baysal Akıncıbeyoğlu kicked well hit freekick during the 8th minute of the match. Generation Next's Mustafa Evvah played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kerem Barlas in the 13th minute of play. In the 14th minute, Generation Next's Ateş Ülküm ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Zafer Tanırer. Zafer Tanırer yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. 18 minutes into the match, Generation Next's goal looked a bit too open when Kerem Barlas came free, but Mustafa Evvah reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Kerem Barlas struck a weak shot in the 19th minute. Mustafa Evvah didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for BEŞİKTAŞ EAGLE. Mustafa Evvah showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kerem Barlas, who was totally free with the ball in the 22nd minute. If Cuma Cihansah had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 28 minutes, Ateş Ülküm mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Generation Next and the BEŞİKTAŞ EAGLE players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 28th minute, Ateş Ülküm hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Zafer Tanırer showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Münir Fidan in the 35th minute of the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Peyami İshak got free with Zafer Tanırer in the 36th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 37th minute Peyami İshak shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zafer Tanırer saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Kerem Barlas might have been able to make a better finish in the 39th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Mustafa Evvah. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Kerem Barlas ran back to his position shaking his head. 41 minutes into the game, BEŞİKTAŞ EAGLE's Tolgahan Vecid nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Mustafa Evvah made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. 47 minutes into the match, BEŞİKTAŞ EAGLE's goal looked a bit too open when Münir Fidan came free, but Zafer Tanırer reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After the first half the score was level. 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 Münir Fidan made a kick off. When Kerem Barlas came up free with the goalie in the 51st minute, the BEŞİKTAŞ EAGLE fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Kerem Barlas couldn't finish the play. Cuma Cihansah recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 53rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

BEŞİKTAŞ EAGLE's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kerem Barlas was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Anıl Baran Songün's late challenge caught a Generation Next's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Anıl Baran Songün helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to BEŞİKTAŞ EAGLE getting a freekick after 59 minutes play.

The corner led to Generation Next's Ahmet Bülent Münib getting away a dangerous shot that went just outside the goal. Kerem Barlas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mustafa Evvah took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kerem Barlas, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a defensive mix-up in BEŞİKTAŞ EAGLE's zone, Peyami İshak stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Zafer Tanırer came out of the goal and Peyami İshak tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Münir Fidan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 76th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.
