Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Can Ganim made the kick off which started today's match. When Ziya Onur Uluberk fell near the penalty area in the 2nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tortum's protests and gave Ziya Onur Uluberk a yellow card for diving instead. In the 3rd minute, Ziya Onur Uluberk hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. With a little luck, Tortum's Fevzi Hidayettin got control of the ball when Bayezit Taştekin tried to sneak it across the goal line. Rahim Özboga was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 12th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After having played for 14 minutes, Bayezit Taştekin managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Göktürk Aldemir was the one to do the kick off. Can Ganim charged in rather forcefully in the 50th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Can Ganim the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Tortum booed when GALATASARAY was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 52 match minutes in a wonderful position. Can Ganim didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gürol Ergintuğ stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Göktürk Aldemir's shot from short distance in the 54th minute. After 60 minutes of play, Tortum's Ziya Onur Uluberk made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Gürol Ergintuğ showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Göktürk Aldemir in the 77th minute of the match. 83 minutes into the match, GALATASARAY's goalkeeper Gürol Ergintuğ had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ziya Onur Uluberk.

The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Tortum eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
