Spectators: 7509 (Terracing: 5632, Seating: 1727, VIP seats: 150) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Hulusi Kurtuluş got the match started through his kick off. Ingvar Wiklund hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. After having played for 5 minutes, Oğuzalp Orgun managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Predators's supporters crossed their fingers, but Oğuzalp Orgun was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Gotham City's Karl Nyström got a free kick in the 7th minute. Oğuzalp Orgun was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 7th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Gotham City's Thor Haström played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Çelik Ömür in the 12th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 15th minute, Hulusi Kurtuluş managed to get in a good position for a shot. Predators's supporters rose to their feet, but Hulusi Kurtuluş was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Thor Haström breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 22nd minute, Oğuzalp Orgun ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Thor Haström was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Ingvar Wiklund received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Emilian Martínez tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Predators's Emilian Martínez played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ingvar Wiklund in the 35th minute of play. André Smed sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 43 minutes into the match, André Smed notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Predators's Emilian Martínez. Emilian Martínez was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Ingvar Wiklund had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Thor Haström was a little too slow when Hulusi Kurtuluş got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 56th minute. The score was now 1-2. Hulusi Kurtuluşs short, quick shot in the 60thth minute got Thor Haström to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. The crowd rose to their feet as Roberto-Jose Baggio kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Thor Haström. That made the score 1-3 in the 62 minute of play. If Hulusi Kurtuluş had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Thor Haström made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Oğuzalp Orgun in the 66th minute of play. Samir Cangiray sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 75 minutes into the match, Predators's Oğuzalp Orgun sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Thor Haström narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Thor Haström made a fantastic save in the 77th minute, when Oğuzalp Orgun sent off a good shot on target. In the 82nd minute, Hulusi Kurtuluş 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. In the 84th minute Oğuzalp Orgun shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Thor Haström saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Thor Haström showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Oğuzalp Orgun, who was totally free with the ball in the 86th minute. 88 minutes into the match, Gotham City's goalkeeper Thor Haström had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Hulusi Kurtuluş. André Smed scored 2-3 in the 93rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emilian Martínez, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. When the final whistle sounded Predators left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Gotham City.
