Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Feyyaz Serir got the match started through his kick off. Nusret Balabey made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Feyyaz Serir in the 5th minute of play. 7 minutes into the match, Academy Turkey's goal looked a bit too open when Haşim Uçur came free, but Veysel Oruz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Nusret Balabey showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Feyyaz Serir, who was totally free with the ball in the 14th minute. Haşim Uçur received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Veysel Oruz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. A collision led to Aybasti SK getting a freekick after 26 minutes play. Ahmet Ceyhan Öğün hit a great ball. Aşır Ülkü sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a little luck, Academy Turkey's Veysel Oruz got control of the ball when Alkın Uğurtan tried to sneak it across the goal line. Academy Turkey's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Ahmet Fikret Aktaşlı in the 42nd minute. The corner ended in Ahmet Fikret Aktaşlı almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Aybasti SK's Nusret Balabey did a great save. If Alkın Uğurtan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 48 played minutes Aybasti SK got a freekick which was hit by Ekber Turgay. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Haşim Uçur stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Alkın Uğurtan in the 55th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Veysel Oruz saved Academy Turkey from getting behind. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Haşim Uçur in the 56th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Veysel Oruz prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Haşim Uçur fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Veysel Oruz having to interfere. Enginalp Candaner hit a great freekick 61 minutes into the match.

After 62 minutes, Ceyhan Saygın mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Academy Turkey and the Aybasti SK players grew even worse after the yellow card. Feyyaz Serir was extremely unlucky when he, in the 67th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Aşır Ülkü fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nusret Balabey having to interfere. Alkın Uğurtan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Veysel Oruz having to interfere.

In the 79th minute, Ceyhan Saygın hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Alkın Uğurtan in the 80th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Veysel Oruz prevented the ball from getting in the gole.
