Esenyurt Arena
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Edmundo Espiga made the kick off which started today's match. 8 minutes into the match, Moises Tafalla had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Batıkan İrem. Esenyurt's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Moises Tafalla was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Sebastian Villa in the 12th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Batıkan İrem saved Esenyurt from getting behind. Luca Espinar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Batıkan İrem tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Honduras's Luca Espinar quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Faruk Başkur, made in the 17th minute of the game. 18 minutes into the match, Honduras's goalkeeper Lautaro Navarro had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Alptuğ Ulusu. Edmundo Espiga hit a great freekick 20 minutes into the match. Honduras were awarded a corner in the 26th minute after Esenyurt's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Edmundo Espiga took the corner. Luca Espinar kicked well hit freekick during the 30th minute of the match. After 32 played minutes Honduras got a freekick which was hit by Edmundo Espiga. 34 minutes into the match, Edmundo Espiga notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Esenyurt's Batıkan İrem. Batıkan İrem was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Sebastian Villa received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Batıkan İrem tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 44th match minute, Honduras was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Christian Sancho to maneuver through the defense. Edmundo Espiga received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Batıkan İrem tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Melik Olgun to make the kick off. In the 52nd minute Alptuğ Ulusu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lautaro Navarro saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Arif Gaffar Rıfkı got a throw-in 56 minutes in the game and the ball was received by Melik Olgun. The supporters of Honduras booed when Esenyurt was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Arif Gaffar Rıfkı didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Edmundo Espiga got free with Batıkan İrem in the 68th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Edmundo Espigas short, quick shot in the 69thth minute got Batıkan İrem to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. The nice shot from Edmundo Espiga in the 69thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Batıkan İrem had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. Batıkan İrem made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sebastian Villa in the 71st minute of play. Arif Gaffar Rıfkı hit a great freekick 75 minutes into the match. Esenyurt's Ali Nabi İhsan was substituted for Çağatay Uluhan. Arif Gaffar Rıfkı kicked well hit freekick during the 76th minute of the match. After having played for 85 minutes, Edmundo Espiga managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Honduras's supporters crossed their fingers, but Edmundo Espiga was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Esenyurt's Faruk Başkur got a free kick in the 89th minute. Honduras's Lautaro Navarro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Melik Olgun in the 92nd minute of play. After a rather tough play, Honduras's Milagros Cabal got a free kick in the 92nd minute. In the 96thth minute of the game Edmundo Espiga who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Esenyurt's Batıkan İrem was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When the match was over Honduras could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Esenyurt throughout the match.
