Northside Stadium
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Vatan Akil started the match with the kick off. 2 minutes into the game, Ahmet Gökalp Tecimen was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. North Port UTD's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave AcinetobacterFC the free kick. After a rather tough play, North Port UTD's Ahmet Gökalp Tecimen got a free kick in the 2nd minute. In the 7th minute, Ercan Şerif 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.

Romulo Ekain came out and tried to block the shot, but Ercan Şerif slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 9th minute. In the 11th minute, Vatan Akil had to be helped off the field due to a pulled leg muscle. North Port UTD made a substitution. Demir Rebi replaced Vatan Akil.

Romulo Ekain yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 2-0. When Nemesio Fliz fell near the penalty area in the 42nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

Romulo Ekain came out and tried to block the shot, but Ercan Şerif slotted it home off the left post making it 3-0 in the 44th minute. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-0.

With a little luck, North Port UTD's Yağızalp Akhan got control of the ball when Alejo Loiola tried to sneak it across the goal line. Romulo Ekain showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ercan Şerif in the 66th minute of the match.

After a defensive mix-up in AcinetobacterFC's zone, Ercan Şerif stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Romulo Ekain came out of the goal and Ercan Şerif tried to chip the ball over his head.

After a rather tough play, AcinetobacterFC's Norberto Beliran got a free kick in the 80th minute.

Demir Rebi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 97th minute. Romulo Ekain tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. North Port UTD fully deserved thier win.
