Spectators: 7465 (Terracing: 5600, Seating: 1716, VIP seats: 149) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Armağan Özsahin took the kick off in the first half of the match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Özen Baroğlu in the 5th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Vahap Tezcan saved ÇATALHÖYÜK Gençlik Klübü from getting behind. ÇATALHÖYÜK Gençlik Klübü were awarded a corner in the 9th minute after O.T.E's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Gürsel Çelenkoğlu took the corner. Yusuf Bahadır Uğuralp hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. A sloppy throw-in by Erhan Gagauz in the 11th minute of the game went astray and was snapped up by O.T.E's Fotis Papadimas. After 16 played minutes O.T.E got a freekick which was hit by Donyo Dragiyski. O.T.E's defense didn't have a chance, in the 18th minute, when Armağan Özsahin scored to the left of an out of position Stamatis Banasidis, making the score, 1-0. Muharrem Bağdaş could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 20th minute of the match, but Stamatis Banasidis made a huge save. The supporters of O.T.E booed when ÇATALHÖYÜK Gençlik Klübü was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Songur Karataş didn't get a good kick on the ball. O.T.E's Stamatis Banasidis proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 28th minute of the match, managed to save O.T.E from getting a goal against them. O.T.E's Fotis Papadimas managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Erhan Gagauz in the 30 minute of the game. Vahap Tezcan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fotis Papadimas in the 31st minute of play. If Özen Baroğlu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, O.T.E's Fabian Niedzwiecki got a free kick in the 37th minute. If Muharrem Bağdaş had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Donyo Dragiyski might have been able to make a better finish in the 41st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Vahap Tezcan. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Donyo Dragiyski ran back to his position shaking his head.

The wind increased when Özen Baroğlu made the kick off in the second half. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Donyo Dragiyski during the 51st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 51 played minutes O.T.E got a freekick which was hit by Donyo Dragiyski. 52 minutes into the match, O.T.E's goal looked a bit too open when Saltuk Vacit came free, but Stamatis Banasidis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Özen Baroğlu struck a weak shot in the 58th minute. Vahap Tezcan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for O.T.E. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Armağan Özsahin in the 72nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Stamatis Banasidis saved O.T.E from getting behind. Özen Baroğlu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 77th minute, Özen Baroğlu got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. ÇATALHÖYÜK Gençlik Klübü's Gaffar Özer was substituted for Saltuk Vacit. In the 82ndth minute of the game Armağan Özsahin who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but O.T.E's Stamatis Banasidis was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 91st minute, Armağan Özsahin made a precise shot to the right of Stamatis Banasidis. O.T.E's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-0.
