Spectators: 7500 (Terracing: 5626, Seating: 1725, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Neşat Şahin started the match with the kick off. ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's defense didn't have a chance, in the 4th minute, when Johan Pihlblad scored to the left of an out of position İslam Adıvar, making the score, 1-0. İslam Adıvar made a fantastic save in the 7th minute, when Mark Holmgren sent off a good shot on target. In the 9th match minute, ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bulut Akçan to maneuver through the defense. The audience thought a goal was coming when Adrian Bergqvist got free with İslam Adıvar in the 10th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953 fans' excitement grew in the 12th match minute when ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's Neşat Şahin looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Bulut Akçan kicked well hit freekick during the 15th minute of the match. ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's Neşat Şahin got a good chance for a goal in the 17th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 27th minute Karl-Michael Åhlberg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but İslam Adıvar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some careless play in the Billesholm defense, Neşat Şahin kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of John Askelöf. The Billesholm fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that John Askelöf should have stopped the shot. In the 41st match minute, Billesholm was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Edvin Vase to maneuver through the defense. A hard, long distance shot from Johan Pihlblad flew over the goal. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Karl-Michael Åhlberg made the kick off in the second half. Korkutalp Ongul kicked well hit freekick during the 61st minute of the match. After 62 played minutes, Billesholm's Michel Törnblom shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper İslam Adıvar came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Billesholm reached it. Volkan Ülgenalp kicked well hit freekick during the 63rd minute of the match. İslam Adıvar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Karl-Michael Åhlberg in the 66th minute of play. In the 69th minute ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953 were awarded a corner. Ali Behzat Eygül went to the cornerflag to take it. The corner led ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's Ali Behzat Eygül to fire away a dangerous shot which John Askelöf despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Neşat Şahin had several of the Billesholm's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 70 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-3 score and a disappointed John Askelöf as he didn't even see the shot coming. In the 92nd minute of the match Michel Törnblom sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but İslam Adıvar skillfully saved the ball. Mark Holmgren fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without İslam Adıvar having to interfere. The Billesholm manager could be seen shouting at his players as they walked down the tunnel after the match. He was clearly angry that they had squandered their superior possession, allowing ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953 to win.
