Spectators: 8408 (Terracing: 6306, Seating: 1934, VIP seats: 168) Ali Nejat Maruf made the kick off and thus started the match. Veth Crystals's defense didn't have a chance, in the 5th minute, when Er Can scored to the left of an out of position Aureliusz Naumowicz, making the score, 1-0. Aureliusz Naumowicz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Er Can, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of Veth Crystals booed when FCFiratRom was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ahmet Turan Çile didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 15th minute the ball was on its way in behind Veth Crystals's goalkeeper Aureliusz Naumowicz, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. With a little luck, Veth Crystals's Aureliusz Naumowicz got control of the ball when Er Can tried to sneak it across the goal line. FCFiratRom's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Talha Gök in the 19th minute. After taking down the ball on FCFiratRom's corner Talha Gök fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Aureliusz Naumowicz quite easily take care of the ball. In the 22nd minute Beniamin Teofila shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zekai Hilal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 29 minutes into the match, Veth Crystals's goal looked a bit too open when Er Can came free, but Aureliusz Naumowicz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Er Can came up free with the goalie in the 31st minute, the FCFiratRom 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 Er Can couldn't finish the play. In the 34th minute the ball was on its way in behind FCFiratRom's goalkeeper Zekai Hilal, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After 36 minutes FCFiratRom's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Beniamin Teofila who took care of the corner kick. Zekai Hilal didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Benedykt Pionek went, in the 40th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. Sait Ülkümen hit a great freekick 44 minutes into the match. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Benedykt Pionek stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

Zekai Hilal was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 58 minutes into the match, FCFiratRom's goal looked a bit too open when Patryk Pozorski came free, but Zekai Hilal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Aureliusz Naumowicz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Talha Gök in the 61st minute of the match. Ali Nejat Maruf scored 2-2 in the 63rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Aureliusz Naumowicz, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Rama Zanetti had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 71st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mehmet Emre Olcay hit a great freekick 79 minutes into the match. In the 83rd minute, Napoleon Gollob hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 91 minutes into the match, Er Can had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Aureliusz Naumowicz. Veth Crystals's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Er Can was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-2. Aureliusz Naumowicz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Rama Zanetti in the 94th minute of the match. FCFiratRom were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Veth Crystals for a fine match.
