Spectators: 154 (Terracing: 116, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mehmet Anıl Rical made the kick off which started today's match. 6 minutes into the match, Arnaldo Gabon notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Machu Picchu's Halil Can Keramettin. Halil Can Keramettin was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When the match had gone on for 13 minutes, Elpidio Francis put it in 2-0 from a short distance just to the right of Halil Can Keramettin. Arnaldo Gabon fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Halil Can Keramettin having to interfere. In the 18th minute, Arnaldo Gabon fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Halil Can Keramettin, passed just outside the right post. Arnaldo Gabon recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 20th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When the match had gone on for 23 minutes, Elpidio Francis took a quick shot and it went in 3-0 without a chance for Halil Can Keramettin to make any attempt to save it. If Elpidio Francis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Machu Picchu's Halil Can Keramettin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Elpidio Francis in the 27th minute of play. Olle Snell kicked well hit freekick during the 28th minute of the match. In the 29th minute, Mehmet Anıl Rical 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. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's Zacarias Osorio quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Şahin Ruhittin, made in the 32nd minute of the game. Elpidio Francis had several of the Machu Picchu's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 33 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 4-0 score and a disappointed Halil Can Keramettin as he didn't even see the shot coming. Elpidio Francis might have been able to make a better finish in the 39th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Halil Can Keramettin. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Elpidio Francis ran back to his position shaking his head. Machu Picchu's attentive Halim Tümay managed to snatch the ball when Zacarias Osorio made a throw-in in the 41st minute of the game. In the 43rdth minute of the game Elpidio Francis who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Machu Picchu's Halil Can Keramettin was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 4-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Elpidio Francis made the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the game, Francesco Toldo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Machu Picchu's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA the free kick. 6-0 became the score in the 59th minute when Arnaldo Gabon elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA made a substitution. Aristides Asteri replaced Arnaldo Gabon. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's André Monclús was substituted for Elpidio Francis. Halil Can Keramettin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from André Monclús in the 64th minute of the match. Ramazan Yalkı's late challenge caught a ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ramazan Yalkı helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Machu Picchu's Ramazan Yalkı got a free kick in the 66th minute. After some careless play in the Machu Picchu defense, André Monclús kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Halil Can Keramettin. The Machu Picchu fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Halil Can Keramettin should have stopped the shot. 71 minutes into the game, ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's André Monclús nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Halil Can Keramettin made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 8-0. 76 minutes into the match, Machu Picchu's goal looked a bit too open when André Monclús came free, but Halil Can Keramettin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 80 minutes, André Monclús managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ESTUDIANTES de la PLATA's supporters crossed their fingers, but André Monclús was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 84 minutes into the match, André Monclús notched a goal, 9-0, to the right of Machu Picchu's Halil Can Keramettin.
