Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The throw-in from Behçet Öksüz in the 5th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Alispor's Taha Sanal. In the 6th minute the ball was on its way in behind Gürpinar's goalkeeper Rafettin Malik, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Mehmet Ediz Tezcan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rafettin Malik having to interfere. When Tolga Birhan came up free with the goalie in the 11th minute, the Alispor 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 Tolga Birhan couldn't finish the play. Alispor's Yavuz Bülent Suerkan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Derya Şanalp in the 13th minute of play. When Arif Burak İmren fell near the penalty area in the 21st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Gürpinar's protests and gave Arif Burak İmren a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Gürpinar getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Arif Burak İmren hit a great ball. In the 23rd minute Mehmet Ediz Tezcan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rafettin Malik saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 24th match minute, Alispor was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Emre Ilımlı to maneuver through the defense. 25 minutes into the match, Gürpinar's Alparslan Hadim sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Yavuz Bülent Suerkan narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After a rather tough play, Gürpinar's Derya Şanalp got a free kick in the 33rd minute. Hüseyin Cahit Tümkan was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 34th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Derya Şanalp made a kick off. Rafettin Malik took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tolga Birhan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 56 minutes into the game, Derya Şanalp was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Gürpinar's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Alispor the free kick. In the 56th match minute, Gürpinar was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Derya Şanalp to maneuver through the defense. Mehmet Ediz Tezcan struck a weak shot in the 64th minute. Rafettin Malik didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Alispor. Tolga Birhan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rafettin Malik having to interfere. Haşmet Oksay kicked well hit freekick during the 68th minute of the match. If Mehmet Ediz Tezcan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Tolga Birhan came up free with the goalie in the 74th minute, the Alispor 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 Tolga Birhan couldn't finish the play. In the 75th minute, Mehmet Ediz Tezcan reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Rafettin Malik. The goal made the score 1-3. After 81 played minutes Gürpinar got a freekick which was hit by Behçet Öksüz. After some fancy dribbling in the 87th minute, Mehmet Ediz Tezcan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Alispor's supporters rose to their feet, but Mehmet Ediz Tezcan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rafettin Malik breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Mehmet Ediz Tezcan was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 89th minute. Alispor's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. After a defensive mix-up in Gürpinar's zone, Serhat Semir stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rafettin Malik came out of the goal and Serhat Semir tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Mehmet Ediz Tezcan got free with Rafettin Malik in the 92nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Tolga Birhan could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 93rd minute of the match, but Rafettin Malik made a huge save. In the 94thth minute of the game Mehmet Ediz Tezcan who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Gürpinar's Rafettin Malik was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When the match was over Alispor could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Gürpinar throughout the match.
