☆ZEYTİNBURNU ARENA☆
Spectators: 175 (Terracing: 132, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Arnoldo Maira started the match with the kick off. Güneş Bilgiç's late challenge caught a SiTomanBoy´s's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Güneş Bilgiç helped the player get up and apologised. In the 7th minute Horacio Escalona shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but İslam Adıvar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Horacio Escalona's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but İslam Adıvar read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 10th minute of play. The corner went over the outstretched arms of ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's goalie and right to Laurín Cohen. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Horacio Escalona blasted a shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without İslam Adıvar having to make a save. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Nahuel Marquezado during the 22nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card.

After 34 minutes of play, ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's Neşat Şahin made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Daniel Maldini was left in no man's land by his defense there! Horacio Escalona might have been able to make a better finish in the 39th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over İslam Adıvar. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Horacio Escalona ran back to his position shaking his head. 39 minutes into the match, ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's goal looked a bit too open when Horacio Escalona came free, but İslam Adıvar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In the 66th minute, Neşat Şahin left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953 fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-2. İslam Adıvar didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Horacio Escalona went, in the 73rd minute, to the upper right corner, 2-3 was the resulting score. When Arnoldo Maira came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the SiTomanBoy´s fans jumped to their feet.

When Ömer Topcu fell near the penalty area in the 85th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's protests and gave Ömer Topcu a yellow card for diving instead. In the 85th minute, Ömer Topcu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 91 minutes of play, ☆ZEYTİNBURNUSPOR™1953's Neşat Şahin made it 3-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.
