Hüseyin Turan Baydar's late challenge caught a Ercis FK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Hüseyin Turan Baydar helped the player get up and apologised. After 5 played minutes Mezarlikbasi got a freekick which was hit by Ali İlbaşı. An unexpectedly hard shot by Yasin Ersunal in the 10th minute of play forced Mezarlikbasi's goalkeeper Akay Adal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Yasin Ersunal scored 0-1 in the 47th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Akay Adal, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
