After a rather tough play, Kağıthane S.K's Erdal Orcaner got a free kick in the 12th minute. If Aygün Nizami had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute.

Kağıthane S.K's players were relieved. Şensoy Uraza charged in rather forcefully in the 20th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.

He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Lions FC reached it. In the 25th minute Sungurhan Hisarcık shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Berkant Hurmacı saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Turgut İltemir fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kandemir Kamer having to interfere. 45 minutes into the match, Lions FC's goal looked a bit too open when Hilmi Talu came free, but Berkant Hurmacı reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
