Batu Özil's late challenge caught a Aricak's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Batu Özil helped the player get up and apologised. If Haldun Mengücek had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Erim Ulutay in the 22nd minute of play forced Kartal Spor's goalkeeper Cesare Sergi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 23 minutes into the match, Kartal Spor's goal looked a bit too open when Haldun Mengücek came free, but Cesare Sergi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

If Haldun Mengücek had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 39th minute of the match Bayındır Hatırlı shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Cesare Sergi showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Emir Mengü might have been able to make a better finish in the 49th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Atahan Dilhun. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Emir Mengü ran back to his position shaking his head. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.
