Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Oğuzkan Necdet made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ahmet Hafiz Özal in the 4th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kutluay İzci in the 7th minute of play forced Enayi Belediyespor's goalkeeper Oğuzkan Necdet to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Kutluay İzci sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Kutluay İzci came up free with the goalie in the 15th minute, the Rize 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 Kutluay İzci couldn't finish the play. Ahmet Hafiz Özal could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 20th minute of the match, but Oğuzkan Necdet made a huge save. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ahmet Hafiz Özal got free with Oğuzkan Necdet in the 24th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ahmet Sedat Akçam during the 33rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Ahmet Hafiz Özal in the 42ndth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Oğuzkan Necdet, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. In the 44th minute Kutluay İzci shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Oğuzkan Necdet saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 45 minutes, Necip Fazıl Gülerce mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Rize and the Enayi Belediyespor players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Enayi Belediyespor booed when Rize was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 45 match minutes in a wonderful position. Necip Fazıl Gülerce didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 46 played minutes, Enayi Belediyespor's İskender Baki Candaner shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Hasan Can Akyel came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Enayi Belediyespor reached it. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

If Ali Baran Tuğ had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 51st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Necip Fazıl Gülerce got his second yellow card in the match during the 52nd minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. After 52 played minutes Rize got a freekick which was hit by Necip Fazıl Gülerce. If Güner Doğa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ahmet Çağrı Türel hit a great freekick 58 minutes into the match. Enayi Belediyespor were awarded a corner in the 62th minute after Rize's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. İskender Baki Candaner took the corner. The corner led Enayi Belediyespor's İskender Baki Candaner to fire away a dangerous shot which Hasan Can Akyel despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Refik Sertaç's late challenge caught a Enayi Belediyespor's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Refik Sertaç helped the player get up and apologised. Refik Sertaç kicked well hit freekick during the 63rd minute of the match. Yetkiner Ulucan kicked well hit freekick during the 64th minute of the match. In the 68th minute, Güner Doğa 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. Ahmet Hafiz Özal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Oğuzkan Necdet having to interfere. Berker Osmanlı hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. Ahmet Hafiz Özal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Oğuzkan Necdet having to interfere. After having played for 77 minutes, Ahmet Hafiz Özal managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rize's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ahmet Hafiz Özal was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 85 minutes into the match, Enayi Belediyespor's goal looked a bit too open when Ahmet Hafiz Özal came free, but Oğuzkan Necdet reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Rize's zone, Behiç Sönmezalp stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hasan Can Akyel came out of the goal and Behiç Sönmezalp tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 95th minute, Kutluay İzci hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Rize had played much better football throughout.
