Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ahmet Fikret Aktaşoğlu kicked off to start the match. When Yusuf Tutuş fell near the penalty area in the 2nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Iznik's protests and gave Yusuf Tutuş a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Iznik getting a freekick after 2 minutes play. Yusuf Tutuş hit a great ball. Artun Barbaros charged in rather forcefully in the 9th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Artun Barbaros the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 9th match minute, Iznik was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Artun Barbaros to maneuver through the defense. Muhittin Ulucağ might have been able to make a better finish in the 10th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ferdi Ersezer. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Muhittin Ulucağ ran back to his position shaking his head. Muhittin Ulucağ had several of the Iznik's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 11 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Ferdi Ersezer as he didn't even see the shot coming. Yiğitcan Zoral hit a great freekick 17 minutes into the match. Hasret Semavi struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. Ferdi Ersezer didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kayseri Zerezek Spor. Yusuf Tutuş received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Tamer Tekinalp tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Tamer Tekinalp made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ahmet Fikret Aktaşoğlu in the 30th minute of play. The supporters of Iznik booed when Kayseri Zerezek Spor was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 31 match minutes in a wonderful position. Yiğitcan Zoral didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Ahmet Fikret Aktaşoğlu came up free with the goalie in the 31st minute, the Iznik 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 Ahmet Fikret Aktaşoğlu couldn't finish the play. In the 41st match minute, Iznik was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Duman Miran to maneuver through the defense. After 42 played minutes Ahmet İlhan Toralp rounded Iznik's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 2-2. Hızır Nuralp kicked well hit freekick during the 47th minute of the match. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Hasret Semavi in the 54th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ferdi Ersezer saved Iznik from getting behind. In the 55th minute, Muhittin Ulucağ 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 Fikret Aktaşoğlu recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 62nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Tamer Tekinalp showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ahmet Fikret Aktaşoğlu, who was totally free with the ball in the 64th minute. Ahmet Fikret Aktaşoğlu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tamer Tekinalp having to interfere. If Muhittin Ulucağ had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ferdi Ersezer made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hasret Semavi in the 71st minute of play. Ferdi Ersezer showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Muhittin Ulucağ in the 77th minute of the match.

In the 84th minute Ahmet Fikret Aktaşoğlu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tamer Tekinalp saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tamer Tekinalp made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ahmet Fikret Aktaşoğlu in the 87th minute of play. After having played for 89 minutes, Hasret Semavi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kayseri Zerezek Spor's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hasret Semavi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a rather tough play, Iznik's Necmettin Orcan got a free kick in the 90th minute. If Yusuf Tutuş had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Kayseri Zerezek Spor fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Iznik were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
