Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Altan Şahdar kicked off to start the match.

The audience was convinced that Göksel Esenboğa's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Kağan Canser was relentless in the 10th minute of the game. 18 minutes into the match, ṨOḰᾋḰ ĿᾋṂϐᾋṨἿ ™ﻨ's goal looked a bit too open when Hayrullah Yiğitoğlu came free, but Kağan Canser reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cevdet İlkut's late challenge caught a Gold Raiders FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

Muzaffer Sufi struck a weak shot in the 35th minute. Kağan Canser didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gold Raiders FC.

When ṨOḰᾋḰ ĿᾋṂϐᾋṨἿ ™ﻨ's Mehmet Ferit Karahan in the 38th minute got a chance for a shot 38th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie.

Kağan Canser took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Altan Şahdar, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After the first half Gold Raiders FC were leading 0-2.

In the 55th minute, Mehmet Ferit Karahan left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.
