Spectators: 7513 (Terracing: 5635, Seating: 1728, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Rafael Clodio took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a rather tough play, EL PEPO FC's Eustacio Loren got a free kick in the 5th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Edgard Herauso in the 17th minute of play forced AYYILDIZ's goalkeeper Bektaş Ali Enginalp to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Onur Ali Zülfikar scored 1-0 in the 22nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Melquiades Patxi, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Melquiades Patxi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 26 played minutes AYYILDIZ got a freekick which was hit by Onur Ali Zülfikar.

Recep Sanal took the ball and in the 33 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Melquiades Patxi. Melquiades Patxi dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-0.

EL PEPO FC's Melquiades Patxi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Şadi Yücelen in the 80th minute of play. 82 minutes into the match, EL PEPO FC's goal looked a bit too open when Şadi Yücelen came free, but Melquiades Patxi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
