Spectators: 7499 (Terracing: 5625, Seating: 1725, VIP seats: 149) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Bircan Ulaç made the kick off which started today's match. Genaro Handi showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Bebeto Müjdat in the 3rd minute of the match. After 15 minutes, Zekai Kutcan mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Basmane Texas and the Bancruz F.C players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Basmane Texas's Zekai Kutcan got a free kick in the 15th minute. Ulu Hayat made an important save on a dangerous shot by Eloy Goiz in the 18th minute. Eloy Goiz took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 20th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Ulu Hayat. Basmane Texas's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Bancruz F.C's Genaro Handi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Adem Mutluer in the 27th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Basmane Texas's Tibet Özyurt got a free kick in the 31st minute. German Patrido sent away a hard shot on goal in the 32nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bircan Ulaç in the 34th minute of play forced Bancruz F.C's goalkeeper Genaro Handi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 36 played minutes Basmane Texas got a freekick which was hit by Adem Mutluer. 37 minutes into the game, Eloy Goiz was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Bancruz F.C's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Basmane Texas the free kick. In the 38th minute Adem Mutluer shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Genaro Handi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 40th minute Tayyar Niyazi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Genaro Handi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Amadeo Veremundo was the one to do the kick off. In the 55th minute of the match, Adem Mutluer tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Genaro Handi saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. After a rather tough play, Basmane Texas's Tibet Özyurt got a free kick in the 60th minute. After 64 minutes of play, Bancruz F.C's Filomeno Eztebe made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ulu Hayat was left in no man's land by his defense there! Genaro Handi made a fantastic save in the 75th minute, when Bircan Ulaç sent off a good shot on target. Ulu Hayat showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Amadeo Veremundo, who was totally free with the ball in the 79th minute. Genaro Handi showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tayyar Niyazi in the 87th minute of the match. The supporters of Basmane Texas booed when Bancruz F.C was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 87 match minutes in a wonderful position. Filomeno Eztebe didn't get a good kick on the ball. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
