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. Erberk Ulutekin started the match with the kick off. Saltuk Tayguner struck a weak shot in the 2nd minute. Mesut Hasanbeyli didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Göksun SK.

The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Bayram Özdoruk stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 55 minutes into the match, Erberk Ulutekin notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Göksun SK's Furkan Tekecan. Furkan Tekecan was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a defensive mix-up in Göksun SK's zone, Gencay Ersavaş stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Furkan Tekecan came out of the goal and Gencay Ersavaş tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

After having played for 68 minutes, Arda Göksel Koyak managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

The Göksun SK supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Göksun SK would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
