After a defensive mix-up in Iskilip's zone, Ziya Hasret stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Muhsin Eyüpoğlu came out of the goal and Ziya Hasret tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Muhsin Eyüpoğlu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ahmet Vefik Yurdaşen in the 16th minute of the match. 20 minutes into the game, Timur Cezar was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

The Özalp SK fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-2. Iskilip's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Ahmet Vefik Yurdaşen 49 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 3-2. 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 3-2.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Yüksel Çağlayan stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.
