Spectators: 7496 (Terracing: 5623, Seating: 1724, VIP seats: 149) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Gürcan Bayman got the match started through his kick off. After 5 minutes of play, MICE F.C.'s Eutichios Karanasios made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Şaban Müjdat was left in no man's land by his defense there! 10 minutes into the match, Giovanni Parisis notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of BLUEMOON FK's Şaban Müjdat. Şaban Müjdat was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 16th minute Giovanni Parisis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Şaban Müjdat saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Giovanni Parisis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Eutichios Karanasios in the 21st minute of play forced BLUEMOON FK's goalkeeper Şaban Müjdat to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Şaban Müjdat made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Giovanni Parisis in the 22nd minute of play. MICE F.C.'s M.

After some careless play in the BLUEMOON FK defense, Rafael Leão kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Şaban Müjdat. The BLUEMOON FK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Şaban Müjdat should have stopped the shot. If Giovanni Parisis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 43rd minute, Rafael Leão ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Şaban Müjdat was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-6. After a rather tough play, BLUEMOON FK's Hüseyin Falcıoğlu got a free kick in the 46th minute.

Dedy Giatrakis came out of the goal and Gürcan Bayman tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 62 minutes into the game, Rafael Leão cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-8. Şaban Müjdat was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Şaban Müjdat took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Giovanni Parisis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Eutichios Karanasios's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Şaban Müjdat firmly grabbed it by the left post. Rafael Leão could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 75th minute of the match, but Şaban Müjdat made a huge save. The corner led MICE F.C.'s Rafael Leão to fire away a dangerous shot which Şaban Müjdat despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball.
