Spectators: 7565 (Terracing: 5675, Seating: 1739, VIP seats: 151) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Kenan Yıldız took the kick off in the first half of the match. Kenan Yıldız might have been able to make a better finish in the 9th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Chip Chiper. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out.

PAIDAGOGOS's Ulryk Lerych quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. Kenan Yıldız sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. A sloppy throw-in by Ulryk Lerych in the 43rd minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by Lions Of Turks's Bican Özgunay. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.
