Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Metehan Esendağ made the kick off which started today's match. 3 minutes into the match, Cankaya's goal looked a bit too open when Metehan Esendağ came free, but Ahmet Hakan Özerk reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the match had gone on for 13 minutes, Metehan Esendağ took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Ahmet Hakan Özerk to make any attempt to save it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Metehan Esendağ in the 18th minute of play forced Cankaya's goalkeeper Ahmet Hakan Özerk to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ferhat Kutkan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Ahmet Hakan Özerk tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mustafa Anıl Demirdelen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 21st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Yetkin Şahsuvaroğlu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ejder Suel, who was totally free with the ball in the 23rd minute. Yetkin Şahsuvaroğlu didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Mustafa Anıl Demirdelen went, in the 25th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score.

In the 31st match minute, Cankaya was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ali Behzat Saadettin to maneuver through the defense. Ejder Suel hit a great freekick 35 minutes into the match.

Ali Behzat Saadettin struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Yetkin Şahsuvaroğlu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Cankaya. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Şehzade Aliyar was the one to do the kick off. Mustafa Anıl Demirdelen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yetkin Şahsuvaroğlu having to interfere. If Mustafa Anıl Demirdelen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Şehzade Aliyar had several of the Galatasaray JK's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 56 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-2 score and a disappointed Yetkin Şahsuvaroğlu as he didn't even see the shot coming. After 60 played minutes Cankaya got a freekick which was hit by Abdi Ergintuğ. It was beautiful to see Galatasaray JK's Varol Orsan in action when he in the 62nd minute dribbled his way through a couple of opponents and the fired away a shot from almost standing still. First the ball seemed to get in, but turned out to be on the outside of the net. A great chance! Şehzade Aliyar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Yetkin Şahsuvaroğlu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 66 minutes into the match, Galatasaray JK's goalkeeper Yetkin Şahsuvaroğlu had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Mustafa Anıl Demirdelen. Yetkin Şahsuvaroğlu made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Şehzade Aliyar in the 69th minute of play.
