Ahirkapi Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Haşim Çelenk made the kick off and thus started the match. Khaidir Herlambang 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. The Hatay fans' excitement grew in the 6th match minute when Hatay's Halil De Souza 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 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Azmi Kutlay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Khaidir Herlambang, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Khaidir Herlambang received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Azmi Kutlay tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some careless play in the KRAL.KONYA.SPOR defense, Halil De Souza kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Azmi Kutlay. The KRAL.KONYA.SPOR fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Azmi Kutlay should have stopped the shot. After a defensive mix-up in KRAL.KONYA.SPOR's zone, Khaidir Herlambang stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Azmi Kutlay came out of the goal and Khaidir Herlambang tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Halil De Souza recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 33rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Khaidir Herlambang fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Azmi Kutlay having to interfere. In the 42nd minute, Halil De Souza 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. If Halil De Souza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 46th minute, Khaidir Herlambang left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Hatay fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-3. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Khaidir Herlambang made a kick off. In the 52nd minute Haşim Çelenk shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bektaş Hatim saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Khaidir Herlambang fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Azmi Kutlay having to interfere. 60 minutes into the match, KRAL.KONYA.SPOR's goal looked a bit too open when Adem Ünseven came free, but Azmi Kutlay reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that Cesare Rosini's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Azmi Kutlay was relentless in the 67th minute of the game. In the 72nd minute Khaidir Herlambang shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Azmi Kutlay saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Khaidir Herlambang had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 76th minute, Luizinho Senna hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Khaidir Herlambang had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With his leg Azmi Kutlay managed to avoid a goal in the 81stth minute, when Hatay's Halil De Souza fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. The long shot by Derya Çağa in the 84th minute really tested Azmi Kutlay's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. 85 minutes into the match, Halil De Souza had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Azmi Kutlay. KRAL.KONYA.SPOR's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Halil De Souza was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-4. Luizinho Senna hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. Hatay's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
