Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Soner Özgenalp got the match started through his kick off.

Zülfü Saban received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 7th minute. Barış Sabit tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 16th minute, Soner Özgenalp fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Anıl Erbatur, passed just outside the right post. In the 19th minute, Zülfü Saban made a precise shot to the right of Barış Sabit. Eflani JK's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. Eyüp Kumanbay's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Anıl Erbatur read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 24th minute of play. An unexpected shot in the 26th minute by Eyüp Kumanbay got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. If Zülfü Saban had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Soner Özgenalp had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Inebolu SK's zone, Eyüp Kumanbay stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Anıl Erbatur came out of the goal and Eyüp Kumanbay tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Zülfü Saban to make the kick off. 52 minutes into the game, Baybars Ulukut was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Inebolu SK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Eflani JK the free kick. Baybars Ulukut hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. When Fetih Tugay came up free with the goalie in the 56th minute, the Inebolu SK fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Fetih Tugay couldn't finish the play. In the 58th minute Zülfü Saban shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Barış Sabit saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a rather tough play, Inebolu SK's Zülfü Saban got a free kick in the 59th minute. If Fetih Tugay had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After a rather tough play, Inebolu SK's Tugay Akabe got a free kick in the 63rd minute. Beşir Mürsel, 64 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After having played for 67 minutes, Eyüp Kumanbay managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Eflani JK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Eyüp Kumanbay was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The Eflani JK fans' excitement grew in the 72nd match minute when Eflani JK's Eyüp Kumanbay looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 3-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Barış Sabit didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Fetih Tugay went, in the 87th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-2 was the resulting score. Eflani JK's Barış Sabit proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 91st minute of the match, managed to save Eflani JK from getting a goal against them. The Inebolu SK players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Eflani JK from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
