Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) An unexpectedly hard shot by Şanver Lebib in the 5th minute of play forced Kars FK's goalkeeper Akil Tanberk to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Behlül Hakan struck a weak shot in the 6th minute. Akil Tanberk didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hamza DEMİR. 7 minutes into the match, Mustafa Kemal Celilay had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Asım Arif Dahi. Hamza DEMİR's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mustafa Kemal Celilay was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. 11 minutes into the match, Kars FK's goal looked a bit too open when Şanver Lebib came free, but Akil Tanberk reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 15 minutes, Güneri Kortan mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Kars FK and the Hamza DEMİR players grew even worse after the yellow card. Güneri Kortan hit a great freekick 15 minutes into the match. When Şanver Lebib came up free with the goalie in the 17th minute, the Hamza DEMİR fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Şanver Lebib couldn't finish the play. Asım Arif Dahi made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Güneri Kortan in the 21st minute of play. In the 22nd minute, Behlül Hakan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Asım Arif Dahi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Genco Tarhan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 26th minute, Mustafa Kemal Celilay hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Şadi Barın, 26 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Güneş Tüzmen got free with Akil Tanberk in the 28th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Şadi Barın received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Akil Tanberk tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 31st minute, Şanver Lebib 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.

Güneri Kortan kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. If Ali Kürşat Ülkenur had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 41 minutes into the match, Kars FK's goalkeeper Akil Tanberk had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Güneş Tüzmen. Şadi Barın who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 42ndth minute tested the skills of Akil Tanberk when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Hamza DEMİR's Bektaş Ali Cire got a good chance for a goal in the 43rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Kars FK's zone, Şanver Lebib stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Akil Tanberk came out of the goal and Şanver Lebib tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Şadi Barın to make the kick off. If Güneş Tüzmen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 59 minutes into the game, Behlül Hakan cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Akil Tanberk was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in.

Akil Tanberk came out of the goal in the 67th minute to try and stop a shot by Hamza DEMİR's Behlül Hakan.
