Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ahmet Nedim Tunalı kicked off to start the match. After a defensive mix-up in LIONES's zone, Altay Tarab stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Feyyaz Karaca came out of the goal and Altay Tarab tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 6 minutes into the game, Burç Durali cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Feyyaz Karaca was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 11th minute of the game. One of Karadeniz Trabzon S.K.:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of LIONES:s goal. The goalkeeper, Murathan Erdemalp, was totally fooled by LIONES's Alpay Derelioğlu, who 12 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. In the 20th minute, Burç Durali got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 22nd minute, Altay Tarab managed to get in a good position for a shot. Karadeniz Trabzon S.K.'s supporters rose to their feet, but Altay Tarab was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Feyyaz Karaca breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Altay Tarab sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Burç Durali received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 27th minute. Feyyaz Karaca tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Karadeniz Trabzon S.K.'s Burç Durali got a good chance for a goal in the 29th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Altay Tarab in the 31st minute of play forced LIONES's goalkeeper Feyyaz Karaca to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. LIONES's Feyyaz Karaca played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Altay Tarab in the 34th minute of play. When Atalay Beşer came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the LIONES 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 Atalay Beşer couldn't finish the play. Karadeniz Trabzon S.K.'s defense didn't have a chance, in the 45th minute, when Ahmet Nedim Tunalı scored to the left of an out of position Murathan Erdemalp, making the score, 2-1. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-1 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Burç Durali was the one to do the kick off. Karadeniz Trabzon S.K.'s Murathan Erdemalp played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Atalay Beşer in the 55th minute of play. Murathan Erdemalp didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Atalay Beşer went, in the 60th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-1 was the resulting score. Feyyaz Karaca made an important save on a dangerous shot by Burç Durali in the 70th minute. In the 76th minute, Asım Akyol hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Atalay Beşer received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Murathan Erdemalp tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ahmet Nedim Tunalı charged in rather forcefully in the 85th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ahmet Nedim Tunalı the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. 89 minutes into the game, Altay Tarab cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-2. Feyyaz Karaca was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After 95 minutes, Çeliker Haseki mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the LIONES and the Karadeniz Trabzon S.K. players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Karadeniz Trabzon S.K. booed when LIONES was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Çeliker Haseki didn't get a good kick on the ball. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The LIONES fans cheered their team off the field, for while Karadeniz Trabzon S.K. had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
