Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Dalmu Herces kicked off to start the match.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Dalmu Herces couldn't finish the play. Aktan Kunter sent away a hard shot on goal in the 14th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Dalmu Herces got in the 18th a clear chance and fired away a hard shot against goal, but Ahmet Oğuz Suha handled the situation perfectly and made a save by the crossbar.
