Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Sami Akdiken made the kick off which started today's match. After 5 minutes, Adem Süleyman mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Nevsehir and the Buharkent SK players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Nevsehir's Adem Süleyman got a free kick in the 6th minute. Cihan Yanar's late challenge caught a Buharkent SK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Cihan Yanar helped the player get up and apologised. Cihan Yanar hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. In the 12th minute Adem Süleyman suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Demirhan Saraç during the 12th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Nevsehir booed when Buharkent SK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 13 match minutes in a wonderful position. Demirhan Saraç didn't get a good kick on the ball. Zekeriya Zişan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With his leg Hakkı Devrim Gümüşsoy managed to avoid a goal in the 26thth minute, when Nevsehir's Avni Ziya fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After a defensive mix-up in Buharkent SK's zone, Avni Ziya stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hakkı Devrim Gümüşsoy came out of the goal and Avni Ziya tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 30th minute, Zekeriya Zişan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Avni Ziya had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Avni Ziya's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Hakkı Devrim Gümüşsoy read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 37th minute of play. Demirhan Saraç sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 47 minutes into the match, Nevsehir's goal looked a bit too open when Ata Hatemoğlu came free, but Abdurrezzak Pekant reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The wind increased when Avni Ziya made the kick off in the second half. Ali Kağan Vefai charged in rather forcefully in the 52nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ali Kağan Vefai the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 52 minutes into the game, one of Nevsehir:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. When Ata Hatemoğlu came up free with the goalie in the 57th minute, the Buharkent SK fans jumped to their feet.

Ata Hatemoğlu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abdurrezzak Pekant having to interfere.
