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. Mehmet Emin Tuna started the match with the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 8th minute, Mehmet Emin Tuna managed to get in a good position for a shot. HENDEKSPOR's supporters rose to their feet, but Mehmet Emin Tuna was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ünal Şener breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Ünal Şener came out of the goal in the 10th minute to try and stop a shot by HENDEKSPOR's Mehmet Emin Tuna. But to his dismay, Mehmet Emin Tuna quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Mehmet Emin Tuna fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ünal Şener having to interfere. Hurşit Ülgenalp received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Orhan Özmert tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Talat Saykut had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The crowd rose to their feet as Talat Saykut kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Orhan Özmert. That made the score 1-1 in the 28 minute of play. When Mehmet Emin Tuna came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the HENDEKSPOR 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 Mehmet Emin Tuna couldn't finish the play. HENDEKSPOR's defense didn't have a chance, in the 34th minute, when Talat Saykut scored to the left of an out of position Orhan Özmert, making the score, 2-1. After a defensive mix-up in HENDEKSPOR's zone, Talat Saykut stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Orhan Özmert came out of the goal and Talat Saykut tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Talat Saykut made a kick off. In the 54th minute, Mehmet Emin Tuna fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Ünal Şener, passed just outside the right post. Bayındır Ezgü received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Ünal Şener tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Orhan Özmert made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Talat Saykut in the 67th minute of play. 71 minutes into the game, Hurşit Ülgenalp cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-1. Orhan Özmert was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. With an all-out effort, HENDEKSPOR's Ünal Şener threw himself towards the right post 75 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Mehmet Emin Tuna, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Hayati Taygun kicked well hit freekick during the 79th minute of the match. After having played for 80 minutes, Hurşit Ülgenalp managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Karacasu FK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hurşit Ülgenalp was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Hurşit Ülgenalp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Bayındır Ezgü had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ahmet Fikret Esenboğa's late challenge caught a Karacasu FK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ahmet Fikret Esenboğa helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Karacasu FK booed when HENDEKSPOR was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 93 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ahmet Fikret Esenboğa didn't get a good kick on the ball. 96 minutes into the match, HENDEKSPOR's goal looked a bit too open when Talat Saykut came free, but Orhan Özmert reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Hurşit Ülgenalp came up free with the goalie in the 97th minute, the Karacasu FK 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 Hurşit Ülgenalp couldn't finish the play. Karacasu FK's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
