Düzce Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Serter Arslangiray got the match started through his kick off. 7 minutes into the match, Düzce FK's Ahmet Necdet Timur broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Resulhan Birsan was out of position in the 11 minute of play, and Serter Arslangiray capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Serter Arslangiray really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. When Şadi Cemşit came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the ScUdEtTO 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 Şadi Cemşit couldn't finish the play. If Çetin Keskin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Düzce FK's Galip Baştugay played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Çetin Keskin in the 22nd minute of play. Sinan Erendiz kicked well hit freekick during the 23rd minute of the match. If Serter Arslangiray had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Baykam Muhammed hit a great freekick 26 minutes into the match. After a rather tough play, Düzce FK's Sinan Erendiz got a free kick in the 31st minute. Çetin Keskin recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 33rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Çetin Keskin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ekber Tanrıverdi during the 39th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. When Gürkan Yörük fell near the penalty area in the 42nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored ScUdEtTO's protests and gave Gürkan Yörük a yellow card for diving instead. In a very dangerous position, a player in ScUdEtTO fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 42nd minute. Penalty! The referee gave Düzce FK a penalty, 44 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Ahmet Necdet Timur, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of ScUdEtTO's Resulhan Birsan. 2-0. 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.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Çetin Keskin stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. ScUdEtTO's Resulhan Birsan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Serter Arslangiray in the 60th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 62nd minute, Şadi Cemşit managed to get in a good position for a shot. ScUdEtTO's supporters rose to their feet, but Şadi Cemşit was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Galip Baştugay breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Düzce FK's Ekber Tanrıverdi got his second yellow card of the match in the 63rd minute. The referee ordered Ekber Tanrıverdi off the ground. Ekber Tanrıverdi kicked well hit freekick during the 63rd minute of the match. After 65 played minutes Düzce FK got a freekick which was hit by Mehmet Bedri Mehdi. Galip Baştugay acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 66th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Gürkan Yörük. Sinan Erendiz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Battal Yörük took the ball and in the 75 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Resulhan Birsan. Resulhan Birsan dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-0. Battal Yörük's late challenge caught a ScUdEtTO's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Battal Yörük helped the player get up and apologised. In the 93rd match minute, Düzce FK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Battal Yörük to maneuver through the defense. Düzce FK's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
