Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ahmet Vefik Baturalp started the match with the kick off. 6 minutes into the game, one of Zeytinburnu JK:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. The goalkeeper, Gürkan Yenal, was totally fooled by Altinekin's Cihangir Gazir, who 7 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. Ahmet Vefik Baturalp recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 9th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 11 minutes of play, Zeytinburnu JK's Ahmet Vefik Baturalp made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Altinekin's Cihangir Kazanhan managed to work through Zeytinburnu JK's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Cihangir Kazanhan dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Atilla Tekin showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ahmet Vefik Baturalp, who was totally free with the ball in the 43rd minute. Disappointed in the 2-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Alişan Ongunalp couldn't finish the play. 85 minutes into the match, Cihangir Kazanhan had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Gürkan Yenal. Zeytinburnu JK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Cihangir Kazanhan was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-5. After a defensive mix-up in Zeytinburnu JK's zone, Özgür Burçak stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gürkan Yenal came out of the goal and Özgür Burçak tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Alişan Ongunalp got free with Atilla Tekin in the 92nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After some fancy dribbling in the 93rd minute, Cihangir Kazanhan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Altinekin's supporters rose to their feet, but Cihangir Kazanhan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gürkan Yenal breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 94 minutes, Ekber Seccac mouthed his way into the referee's book.

Gürkan Yenal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cihangir Gazir, who was totally free with the ball in the 96th minute.
