Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ahmet Bedri Denizhan took the kick off in the first half of the match. Nihat Umural spun around in front of the goal 5 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Gediz's goal. A hard shot 7 in the game by Aybar Gündüz from a close distance when the talented Bekir Kutlar managed to make a qualified save. Gediz's players were relieved. Nihat Umural received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Bekir Kutlar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience thought a goal was coming when Aybar Gündüz got free with Bekir Kutlar in the 12th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 15 minutes into the game, Gediz's Şevket Hekimoğlu nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ali Çağrı Müjdat made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Şevket Hekimoğlu in the 20th minute of play forced Afyonkarahisar JK's goalkeeper Ali Çağrı Müjdat to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Nihat Umural fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bekir Kutlar having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 30th minute, Aybar Gündüz managed to get in a good position for a shot. Afyonkarahisar JK's supporters rose to their feet, but Aybar Gündüz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bekir Kutlar breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 37 minutes into the match, Nihat Umural dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Bekir Kutlar, 1-1. If Aybar Gündüz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nihat Umural in the 43rd minute of play forced Gediz's goalkeeper Bekir Kutlar to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ali Çağrı Müjdat took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Şevket Hekimoğlu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 47 minutes, Ilgaz Cesman mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Afyonkarahisar JK and the Gediz players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 47th match minute, Afyonkarahisar JK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ilgaz Cesman to maneuver through the defense. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went.

The wind increased when Nihat Umural made the kick off in the second half. 69 minutes had been played when some careless play by Afyonkarahisar JK's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Fuat Rebi was slow to take the kick. During this time Gediz's players had a chance to rest. Afyonkarahisar JK's Ali Çağrı Müjdat proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 71st minute of the match, managed to save Afyonkarahisar JK from getting a goal against them. The supporters of Afyonkarahisar JK booed when Gediz was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ekber Birsel didn't get a good kick on the ball. Aybar Gündüz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Bekir Kutlar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With his leg Ali Çağrı Müjdat managed to avoid a goal in the 79thth minute, when Gediz's Şevket Hekimoğlu fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 84th match minute, Gediz was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Denizhan Demircan to maneuver through the defense. After 85 played minutes, Afyonkarahisar JK's Hıdır Kuntay shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Bekir Kutlar 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 Afyonkarahisar JK reached it. Nihat Umural scored 2-1 in the 91st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Bekir Kutlar, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Afyonkarahisar JK's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
