Oktay Hızarcı made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tugay Karaoğlan in the 16th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Dark Dragons FC's zone, Tugay Karaoğlan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Basri Belge hit a great freekick 31 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 34th minute, Işık Osmanoğulları managed to get in a good position for a shot. Dark Dragons FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Işık Osmanoğulları was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Edip Kabataş breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tugay Karaoğlan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 36th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Oktay Hızarcı stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Tugay Karaoğlan's shot from short distance in the 42nd minute. The long shot by Basri Belge in the 46th minute really tested Oktay Hızarcı's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Oktay Hızarcı stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Mikail Yelesen's shot from short distance in the 52nd minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Tugay Karaoğlan in the 54th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Oktay Hızarcı saved Dark Dragons FC from getting behind. 62 minutes in the game Ali Nabi Çağaçar did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Ahmet Onursay.

The penalty shot was made by Aybek Okyay, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Dark Dragons FC's Oktay Hızarcı. 1-0. Tugay Karaoğlan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After some fancy dribbling in the 74th minute, Tugay Karaoğlan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's supporters rose to their feet, but Tugay Karaoğlan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Oktay Hızarcı breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Edip Kabataş took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ahmet Onursay, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Tugay Karaoğlan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Berker Tankan in the 86th minute. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Berker Tankan was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Oktay Hızarcı in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. When Meriç Özbir came up free with the goalie in the 88th minute, the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan 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 Meriç Özbir couldn't finish the play. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Saltuk Server pulled a muscle in his leg after 94 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Vecdi Çağa's late challenge caught a Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Vecdi Çağa helped the player get up and apologised. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Tarkan Alptekin was substituted for Saltuk Server. The supporters of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan booed when Dark Dragons FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vecdi Çağa didn't get a good kick on the ball. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
