Esme Stadium
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, 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.

In the 4th match minute, Maden FK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Samir Köksal to maneuver through the defense. Ahmet Orhan İçten struck a weak shot in the 8th minute. Sarper Hakyemez didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Maden FK. Ahmet Orhan İçten might have been able to make a better finish in the 9th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Sarper Hakyemez. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ahmet Orhan İçten ran back to his position shaking his head. Esme JK's Mümtaz Samih shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 13th minute of play.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Hayri Lebib couldn't finish the play. Metin İnanç made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hayri Lebib in the 67th minute of play. 68 minutes into the game, Ahmet Fikret Sarik was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.
