Spectators: 7451 (Terracing: 5590, Seating: 1713, VIP seats: 148) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Haluk Hamurcuoğlu kicked off to start the match. If Tomi Abalos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Epifanio Abaurre in the 5th minute of play forced Chaos SK's goalkeeper Yalçın Türkcan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 8 minutes into the match, Chaos SK's goal looked a bit too open when Epifanio Abaurre came free, but Yalçın Türkcan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

If Joey Abaunza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Acar Özselen charged in rather forcefully in the 23rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Acar Özselen the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Tomi Abalos managed to get in a good position for a shot. Escuadrón Mercenario's supporters rose to their feet, but Tomi Abalos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Yalçın Türkcan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Yalçın Türkcan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Iztal Aballe in the 33rd minute of the match. After 35 minutes of play, Escuadrón Mercenario's Epifanio Abaurre made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Yalçın Türkcan was left in no man's land by his defense there! After some careless play in the Chaos SK defense, Iztal Aballe kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Yalçın Türkcan. The Chaos SK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Yalçın Türkcan should have stopped the shot. Iztal Aballe received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Yalçın Türkcan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Escuadrón Mercenario booed when Chaos SK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Haluk Hamurcuoğlu didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Chaos SK's zone, Joey Abaunza stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Yalçın Türkcan came out of the goal and Joey Abaunza tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The Chaos SK players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Escuadrón Mercenario were winning 0-3.

The referee ignored Escuadrón Mercenario's protests and gave Jeremy Abancens a yellow card for diving instead. After 93 played minutes Escuadrón Mercenario got a freekick which was hit by Jeremy Abancens.
