Cayiralan Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Kaan Isfahanlı started the match with the kick off. Alkın Cezri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Saadettin Kalhan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 18 minutes into the match, Halkapinar JK's goal looked a bit too open when Ahmet Vefik Şıran came free, but Saadettin Kalhan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 22 minutes into the match, Halkapinar JK's Ali Numan Avşar sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Songurhan Bucuklu narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When Ali Numan Avşar came up free with the goalie in the 28th minute, the Halkapinar JK fans jumped to their feet.

Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. If Ahmet Vefik Şıran had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some careless play in the Halkapinar JK defense, Alkın Cezri kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Saadettin Kalhan.
