Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Abdullah Yalınalp made the kick off which started today's match. 8 minutes into the match, Fenerbahçe's goal looked a bit too open when Abdullah Yalınalp came free, but Hıdır Taykara reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Abdullah Yalınalp received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Hıdır Taykara tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sezgin Arslanşah could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 14th minute of the match, but Ahmet Kutsi İsmet made a huge save. A collision led to Gümüshane FK getting a freekick after 19 minutes play. Kamuran Olgunay hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in Gümüshane FK's zone, Abay Vedat stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ahmet Kutsi İsmet came out of the goal and Abay Vedat tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Gümüshane FK's Ahmet Kutsi İsmet proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 23rd minute of the match, managed to save Gümüshane FK from getting a goal against them. When Sezgin Arslanşah came up free with the goalie in the 24th minute, the Fenerbahçe 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 Sezgin Arslanşah couldn't finish the play. Ahmet Kutsi İsmet was out of position in the 26 minute of play, and Abay Vedat capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Abay Vedat really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. Şahin Uçhan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. Hıdır Taykara tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Abdullah Yalınalp took the ball and in the 37 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Hıdır Taykara. Hıdır Taykara dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. If Abdullah Yalınalp had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Abay Vedat was the one to do the kick off. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Sezgin Arslanşah in the 53rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ahmet Kutsi İsmet saved Gümüshane FK from getting behind. Hıdır Taykara made a fantastic save in the 54th minute, when Şahin Uçhan sent off a good shot on target. Abay Vedat sent away a hard shot on goal in the 56th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 58thth minute of the game Sezgin Arslanşah who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Gümüshane FK's Ahmet Kutsi İsmet was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Sezgin Arslanşah fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ahmet Kutsi İsmet having to interfere. In the 63rd minute, Gümüshane FK's Abdullah Yalınalp ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Hıdır Taykara. Hıdır Taykara yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 2-2. Abay Vedat struck a weak shot in the 70th minute. Ahmet Kutsi İsmet didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Fenerbahçe. After some careless play in the Gümüshane FK defense, Abay Vedat kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ahmet Kutsi İsmet. The Gümüshane FK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ahmet Kutsi İsmet should have stopped the shot. Ahmet Kutsi İsmet made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sezgin Arslanşah in the 77th minute of play. 83 minutes into the match, Fenerbahçe's Abay Vedat sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ahmet Kutsi İsmet narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After 84 minutes, Kamuran Olgunay mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Gümüshane FK and the Fenerbahçe players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Gümüshane FK getting a freekick after 85 minutes play. Kamuran Olgunay hit a great ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Neşat Öktürk during the 88th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Gümüshane FK booed when Fenerbahçe was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Neşat Öktürk didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gümüshane FK's Enginsu Ersezen couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 89th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Fenerbahçe. If Abay Vedat had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Fenerbahçe's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
