Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Giray Terim got the match started through his kick off. Giray Terim sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Batıhan Öztaylan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Baha Necati in the 10th minute of play. In the 10th match minute, Istanbulspor was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sertaç Başaydın to maneuver through the defense. Baha Necati received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 12th minute. Batıhan Öztaylan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 18th minute Halil Utku Hazret shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Selami Kura saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Batıhan Öztaylan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Baha Necati in the 23rd minute of the match. Baha Necati sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Istanbulspor's Batıhan Öztaylan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Baha Necati in the 36th minute of play. Giray Terim recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Baha Necati hit a great freekick 44 minutes into the match. If Halil Utku Hazret had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Baha Necati to strike the kick off in the second half. Giray Terim's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Selami Kura read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 54th minute of play. After 58 played minutes Hassa got a freekick which was hit by Taha Hatipoğlu. The audience thought a goal was coming when Halil Utku Hazret got free with Selami Kura in the 61st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. With his leg Selami Kura managed to avoid a goal in the 65thth minute, when Istanbulspor's Halil Utku Hazret fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. If Giray Terim had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 74 minutes, Hakkı Deniz Ciray managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Istanbulspor's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hakkı Deniz Ciray was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Halil Utku Hazret sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The supporters of Istanbulspor booed when Hassa was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 77 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ersin Polathan didn't get a good kick on the ball. Nadir Secaat, 80 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. In the 82nd minute, Sertaç Başaydın hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Hassa's Tamer Ulutaş couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Istanbulspor. Hüsamettin Eren's late challenge caught a Hassa's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Hüsamettin Eren helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Istanbulspor's Hüsamettin Eren got a free kick in the 84th minute. Halil Utku Hazret fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Selami Kura having to interfere. Selami Kura took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Giray Terim, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Giray Terim sent away a hard shot on goal in the 93rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a little luck, Hassa's Selami Kura got control of the ball when Halil Utku Hazret tried to sneak it across the goal line. Istanbulspor were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
