Sacando del Medio's David Rey got a good chance for a goal in the 3rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Halil Utku Suerkan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 14th minute, David Rey ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Şadi Turhan was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0.

Hamit Aynacıoğlu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After 42 minutes of play, FC MANLE's Hamit Aynacıoğlu made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Filomeno Dabi was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Hamit Aynacıoğlu made a kick off. 51 minutes into the match, FC MANLE's goal looked a bit too open when David Rey came free, but Şadi Turhan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Şadi Turhan stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Siro Joseph's shot from short distance in the 53rd minute. 63 minutes into the game, Berk Gürdal was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FC MANLE's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Sacando del Medio the free kick. The supporters of Sacando del Medio booed when FC MANLE was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 63 match minutes in a wonderful position. Berk Gürdal didn't get a good kick on the ball.

The crowd rose to their feet as Hamit Aynacıoğlu kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Filomeno Dabi. That made the score 2-3 in the 66 minute of play. Hamit Aynacıoğlu's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Filomeno Dabi read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 68th minute of play. In the 70th minute David Rey shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Şadi Turhan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jorge Barbosa recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 74th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

After 80 played minutes Sacando del Medio got a freekick which was hit by David Rey.

Halil Utku Suerkan could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 92nd minute of the match, but Filomeno Dabi made a huge save. Bahattin Kurhan hit a great freekick 93 minutes into the match. After 94 minutes, Siro Joseph mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Sacando del Medio and the FC MANLE players grew even worse after the yellow card.
