Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Kozyatagi's Sabri Onay started the match with a crisp pass.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Denizhan Kuluk was a little too slow when Ali Berkant Özozan got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 31st minute. The score was now 2-0. Ali Berkant Özozan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Denizhan Kuluk tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ahmet Asım Özbekkan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mustafa Haydar Yelesen made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Sabri Onay in the 44th minute of play. In the 47th minute, Sabri Onay 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. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

Aycan Oksu's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mustafa Haydar Yelesen read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 53rd minute of play. Sabri Onay received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Mustafa Haydar Yelesen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ali Berkant Özozan might have been able to make a better finish in the 59th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Denizhan Kuluk. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ali Berkant Özozan ran back to his position shaking his head. After 59 minutes, Şemsettin Sanat mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Kozyatagi and the Işıkspor SK players grew even worse after the yellow card. Denizhan Kuluk stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Ali Berkant Özozan's shot from short distance in the 64th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Kozyatagi's zone, Ahmet Asım Özbekkan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Denizhan Kuluk came out of the goal and Ahmet Asım Özbekkan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Tibet Temizkal was shown his second yellow card after 73 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. After 78 played minutes Kozyatagi got a freekick which was hit by Mümin Taçyıldız. In the 80th minute Ahmet Asım Özbekkan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Denizhan Kuluk saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A hard shot 83 in the game by Aycan Oksu from a close distance when the talented Mustafa Haydar Yelesen managed to make a qualified save. Işıkspor SK's players were relieved. 88 minutes had been played when some careless play by Işıkspor SK's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Hıncal Vefakar was slow to take the kick. During this time Kozyatagi's players had a chance to rest. If Aycan Oksu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Kozyatagi's Gürbüz Erbatur got a free kick in the 96th minute. In the 97th minute of the match Cevher Sarih sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Denizhan Kuluk skillfully saved the ball. Işıkspor SK's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
