Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Erdeniz Atasoy started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. After 3 minutes of play, Bahcesehir's Hayrullah Hazret made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Yıldırım Gencay was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Batur Özkurt had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Bahcesehir's Necmettin Talip played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Erdeniz Atasoy in the 12th minute of play. In the 15th minute Erdeniz Atasoy shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Necmettin Talip saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Hayrullah Hazret fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yıldırım Gencay having to interfere. Yıldırım Gencay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hayrullah Hazret, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Bahcesehir's Mahsun Yalınay got a good chance for a goal in the 28th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. It was beautiful to see Bahcesehir's Aktuğ Tunçkılıç in action when he in the 32nd minute dribbled his way through a couple of opponents and the fired away a shot from almost standing still. First the ball seemed to get in, but turned out to be on the outside of the net. A great chance! 36 minutes into the match, Malkara's goal looked a bit too open when Hayrullah Hazret came free, but Yıldırım Gencay reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 40 minutes into the game, Bahcesehir's Hayrullah Hazret nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Yıldırım Gencay made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-2. In the 43rd minute, Hayrullah Hazret 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 Mahsun Yalınay had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hayrullah Hazret recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 48th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mahsun Yalınay to make the kick off. Necmettin Talip showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Batur Özkurt, who was totally free with the ball in the 57th minute. Yıldırım Gencay was a little too slow when Mahsun Yalınay got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 59th minute. The score was now 0-3. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Erdeniz Atasoy in the 67th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Necmettin Talip saved Bahcesehir from getting behind. After a rather tough play, Bahcesehir's Adnan Oyanalp got a free kick in the 69th minute. Necmettin Talip came out of the goal in the 70th minute to try and stop a shot by Malkara's Batur Özkurt. But to his dismay, Batur Özkurt quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-3. After a rather tough play, Malkara's Ali Numan Settar got a free kick in the 74th minute. Malkara's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Mahsun Yalınay 76 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-4. Mahsun Yalınay struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Yıldırım Gencay didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bahcesehir. After a rather tough play, Malkara's Azmi Başdaş got a free kick in the 90th minute. 93 minutes had been played when some careless play by Malkara's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Aktuğ Tunçkılıç was slow to take the kick. During this time Bahcesehir's players had a chance to rest. 94 minutes in the game, Mahsun Yalınay fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Yıldırım Gencay having to interfere. Bahcesehir's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
