Mengen Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Baybars Rusuhi started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Mengen's Kutlu Ertüze played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Paşa Adısönmez in the 4th minute of play. 6 minutes into the match, Mengen's goal looked a bit too open when Ahmet Gökalp Yaşar came free, but Kutlu Ertüze reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Paşa Adısönmez came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the Eesezym fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Paşa Adısönmez couldn't finish the play. 10 minutes into the match, Ahmet Gökalp Yaşar had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Kutlu Ertüze. Mengen's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ahmet Gökalp Yaşar was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. With his leg Ercüment Lütfullah managed to avoid a goal in the 13thth minute, when Mengen's Halis Eraltay fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Ercüment Lütfullah made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Baybars Rusuhi in the 16th minute of play. Kutlu Ertüze showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ahmet Gökalp Yaşar, who was totally free with the ball in the 18th minute. After 18 played minutes Mengen got a freekick which was hit by Halis Eraltay. In the 25th minute, Seyfi Akpolat fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Ercüment Lütfullah, passed just outside the right post. Ahmet Gökalp Yaşar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kutlu Ertüze having to interfere. Kutlu Ertüze showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ahmet Gökalp Yaşar, who was totally free with the ball in the 38th minute. Eesezym's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Şensoy Sarp in the 41st minute. Eesezym's Şensoy Sarp was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Kutlu Ertüze in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. 45 minutes into the game, Halis Eraltay was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Mengen's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Eesezym the free kick.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Baybars Rusuhi in the 58th minute of play forced Eesezym's goalkeeper Ercüment Lütfullah to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 60 played minutes Mengen got a freekick which was hit by Oktay İmar. Kutlu Ertüze made an important save on a dangerous shot by Paşa Adısönmez in the 64th minute. Baybars Rusuhi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 66th minute. Ercüment Lütfullah tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Halil Can Sahir fell near the penalty area in the 67th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Eesezym's protests and gave Halil Can Sahir a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Eesezym's Halil Can Sahir got a free kick in the 67th minute. Paşa Adısönmez took the ball and in the 79 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Kutlu Ertüze. Kutlu Ertüze dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. After 89 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Mengen! Şensoy Sarp shot the penalty kick by force right in the crossbar. No goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 100th minute, Baybars Rusuhi managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mengen's supporters rose to their feet, but Baybars Rusuhi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ercüment Lütfullah breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Eesezym walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
