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. Sarp Burçak started the match with the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tayyar Ragıp in the 10th minute of play forced ✮ ☆ ★ SaRıSeKi CiTy ★ ☆ ✮'s goalkeeper Abdulvahit Uzalp to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Arkın Sancaktar took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 13th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Yetkiner Sadi. Yildizeli FK's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. When the match had gone on for 17 minutes, Sarp Burçak took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Yetkiner Sadi to make any attempt to save it. Östen Gråberg recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Sarp Burçak who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 36thth minute tested the skills of Yetkiner Sadi when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Sarp Burçak fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yetkiner Sadi having to interfere. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Cankut Hayırlı made a kick off. Abdulvahit Uzalp stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Cankut Hayırlı's shot from short distance in the 53rd minute. In the 56th minute of the match Arkın Sancaktar shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Yetkiner Sadi showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Östen Gråberg took the ball and in the 63 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Yetkiner Sadi.

But to his dismay, Östen Gråberg quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-1. 75 minutes into the game, Ahmet İlhan Çolak was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Yildizeli FK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ✮ ☆ ★ SaRıSeKi CiTy ★ ☆ ✮ the free kick. The supporters of ✮ ☆ ★ SaRıSeKi CiTy ★ ☆ ✮ booed when Yildizeli FK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position.

After some fancy dribbling in the 83rd minute, Östen Gråberg managed to get in a good position for a shot. ✮ ☆ ★ SaRıSeKi CiTy ★ ☆ ✮'s supporters rose to their feet, but Östen Gråberg was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Yetkiner Sadi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After having played for 89 minutes, Östen Gråberg managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ✮ ☆ ★ SaRıSeKi CiTy ★ ☆ ✮'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Östen Gråberg was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. There was no doubt that ✮ ☆ ★ SaRıSeKi CiTy ★ ☆ ✮ were the better team. ✮ ☆ ★ SaRıSeKi CiTy ★ ☆ ✮'s players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
