Rumelikavagi JK's Selçuk Berkkan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Necat Taş in the 3rd minute of play. In the 5th minute of the match Hasan Can Erzincanlı shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Erkan Okaner showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball.

When Sefa Durdu came up free with the goalie in the 10th minute, the Rumelikavagi JK fans jumped to their feet.

İsrafil Canfeda received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 54th minute. Erkan Okaner tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Rumelikavagi JK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Necat Taş was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. In the 96th minute Necat Taş shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Selçuk Berkkan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Necat Taş had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 98th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
