In the 3rd minute, Angelo Medina hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Neşat Şahin received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute.

Rodolfo Peseiro hit a great ball. After a rather tough play, ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's Niša Topcu got a free kick in the 10th minute.

In the 24th match minute, Mans was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Anthony Cavalier to maneuver through the defense.

Hıdır Sirri didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mans.

The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.
