Spectators: 9271 (Terracing: 6955, Seating: 2132, VIP seats: 184) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Besim Vecdet got the match started through his kick off. ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's Gottfrid Hedström played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Benedykt Lanczak in the 5th minute of play. 6 minutes had been played when some careless play by ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Mikayıl Malişov was slow to take the kick. During this time Kᴇᴛᴇɴçᴀʏɪʀ's players had a chance to rest. Kᴇᴛᴇɴçᴀʏɪʀ's Ahmet Hamdi Baran was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Gottfrid Hedström in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. An unexpectedly hard shot by Benedykt Lanczak in the 8th minute of play forced ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's goalkeeper Gottfrid Hedström to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With an all-out effort, ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ's Onur-Recep Kıvrak threw himself towards the right post 11 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Besim Vecdet, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. In the 15th minute Stasio Plachetka shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Onur-Recep Kıvrak saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

In the 36th minute, Fotis Theofilopoulos 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 some careless play in the ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ defense, Benedykt Lanczak kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Gottfrid Hedström. The ΑΙΕΝ ΥΨΙΚΡΑΤΕΙΝ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Gottfrid Hedström should have stopped the shot. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit.

Slawomir Fujara made in the 52nd minute of the game a quick throw-in and Stasio Plachetka immediately put the ball in play.
