Spectators: 7518 (Terracing: 5639, Seating: 1729, VIP seats: 150) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Filip Hološko got the match started through his kick off. Muhittin Suyurgal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emanuel Bella, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 12th minute, Ahmet Nedim Eronat left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The The Last Airbender fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Mehmet Halis Haliç charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Mehmet Halis Haliç the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Mehmet Halis Haliç hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. Prudencio Ekain made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Filip Hološko in the 17th minute of play. In the 20th minute of the match, Leandro-Atilio Romagnoli tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Muhittin Suyurgal saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Leandro-Atilio Romagnoli scored 1-1 in the 20th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Muhittin Suyurgal, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 1-2 became the score in the 24th minute when Filip Hološko elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Prudencio Ekain showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mehmet Halis Haliç, who was totally free with the ball in the 38th minute. When Jorge Nataniel fell near the penalty area in the 39th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored San Lorenzo 11's protests and gave Jorge Nataniel a yellow card for diving instead. In the 39th minute, Jorge Nataniel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Prudencio Ekain didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Filip Hološko went, in the 40th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-3 was the resulting score. Aquilino Cordaro could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 45th minute of the match, but Muhittin Suyurgal made a huge save. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

After some fancy dribbling in the 52nd minute, Ahmet Nedim Eronat managed to get in a good position for a shot. The Last Airbender's supporters rose to their feet, but Ahmet Nedim Eronat was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Prudencio Ekain breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 59th minute, Ahmet Nedim Eronat reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Prudencio Ekain. The goal made the score 2-4. Isaac Garoa scored 3-4 in the 63rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Muhittin Suyurgal, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Muhittin Suyurgal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Aquilino Cordaro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a little luck, San Lorenzo 11's Prudencio Ekain got control of the ball when Ahmet Nedim Eronat tried to sneak it across the goal line. Muhittin Suyurgal made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Leandro-Atilio Romagnoli in the 76th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Emanuel Bella in the 77th minute of play forced The Last Airbender's goalkeeper Muhittin Suyurgal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Muhittin Suyurgal didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Aquilino Cordaro went, in the 82nd minute, to the upper right corner, 4-4 was the resulting score. In the 86th minute, The Last Airbender's Filip Hološko ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Prudencio Ekain. Prudencio Ekain yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 4-5. In the 90th minute Ahmet Nedim Eronat shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Prudencio Ekain saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.
