Jairo Villavedon didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Fidan SK. Uğurcan Hedef sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Jairo Villavedon took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bahtiyar Sururi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 11th minute Uğurcan Hedef shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jairo Villavedon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 13th minute Uğurcan Hedef shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jairo Villavedon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 19th minute Ysidro Creus shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ruhi Eryavuz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Vilson Verdenosa came up free with the goalie in the 28th minute, the NAGANO F.C 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 Vilson Verdenosa couldn't finish the play. In the 30th match minute, NAGANO F.C was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jairón Carradelo to maneuver through the defense. Zenaido Henriquez could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 34th minute of the match, but Ruhi Eryavuz made a huge save. NAGANO F.C's Jairo Villavedon played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mustafa Hamit Koral in the 37th minute of play. When José-Manuel Azcaraso fell near the penalty area in the 37th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored NAGANO F.C's protests and gave José-Manuel Azcaraso a yellow card for diving instead. Fidan SK's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Zenaido Henriquez 43 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-1. In the 46th minute, Uğurcan Hedef got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. 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.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ysidro Creus made a kick off. After a defensive mix-up in NAGANO F.C's zone, Ragıp Ergökmen stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jairo Villavedon came out of the goal and Ragıp Ergökmen tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 55 minutes into the match, NAGANO F.C's goal looked a bit too open when Mustafa Hamit Koral came free, but Jairo Villavedon reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 58th minute Mustafa Hamit Koral shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jairo Villavedon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jairo Villavedon was out of position in the 59 minute of play, and Uğurcan Hedef capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Uğurcan Hedef really showed his touch with that goal: 1-2. A collision led to Fidan SK getting a freekick after 68 minutes play. Mustafa Hamit Koral hit a great ball. With 71 minutes on the clock, Ramiz Kadrican commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. In the 71st minute, one of Fidan SK:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Fidan SK. In the 73rd minute there was a penalty for NAGANO F.C. Jaime Roig stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Ruhi Eryavuz. 2-2. Ruhi Eryavuz showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zenaido Henriquez, who was totally free with the ball in the 81st minute. If Mustafa Hamit Koral had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Uğurcan Hedef in the 87thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Jairo Villavedon, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Jairo Villavedon took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Uğurcan Hedef, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the Fidan SK defense, Zenaido Henriquez kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ruhi Eryavuz. The Fidan SK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ruhi Eryavuz should have stopped the shot. NAGANO F.C's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
