Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, 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. Haşmet Kutsal started the match with the kick off. In the 4th minute, Gazanfer Özcan Yetiş made a precise shot to the right of Kürşat Özyurek.
