Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ahmet Kadri Taşcıoğlu made the kick off which started today's match. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ahmet Nasir Perva in the 3rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Sezai Sunguralp saved Halkapinar from getting behind. In the 3rd match minute, Halkapinar was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Aygün Hanecioğlu to maneuver through the defense. After some fancy dribbling in the 6th minute, Ahmet Nasir Perva managed to get in a good position for a shot. Istanbul's supporters rose to their feet, but Ahmet Nasir Perva was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sezai Sunguralp breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. İzzet Soner struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Sezai Sunguralp didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Istanbul. In the 14th minute, Şerafettin Toraman fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. Ahmet Kadri Taşcıoğlu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out.

In the 20th minute, Ahmet Nasir Perva ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Sezai Sunguralp was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1.

The referee ignored Istanbul's protests and gave Orkun Ruhittin a yellow card for diving instead. Orkun Ruhittin kicked well hit freekick during the 27th minute of the match. In the 30th minute, Halkapinar's Ahmet Kadri Taşcıoğlu dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-1.

Hüsamettin Akçakoca made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ahmet Kadri Taşcıoğlu in the 37th minute of play. 38 minutes into the game, Şerafettin Toraman cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Hüsamettin Akçakoca was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. An unexpectedly hard shot by İzzet Soner in the 46th minute of play forced Halkapinar's goalkeeper Sezai Sunguralp to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 47 minutes of play, Halkapinar's Şerafettin Toraman made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Hüsamettin Akçakoca was left in no man's land by his defense there! When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-1.

İzzet Soner fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sezai Sunguralp having to interfere. In the 55th minute of the match, Ahmet Nasir Perva tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Sezai Sunguralp saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Mümtazer Ogansoy's late challenge caught a Halkapinar's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Mümtazer Ogansoy helped the player get up and apologised. Mümtazer Ogansoy hit a great freekick 60 minutes into the match. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Ahmet Kadri Taşcıoğlu in the 63rd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Hüsamettin Akçakoca prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Turabi Sunguralp kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match.

After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Aygün Hanecioğlu managed to get in a good position for a shot. Halkapinar's supporters rose to their feet, but Aygün Hanecioğlu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.
