Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Şükrü İlican made the kick off which started today's match. Derman Hinoğlu could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 2nd minute of the match, but Battal Seyyit Trabzonlu made a huge save. After a rather tough play, Kütahya's Aykut Erben got a free kick in the 3rd minute. The supporters of Kütahya booed when Canakkale was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 4 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cevdet Sarvan didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 6 played minutes, Kütahya's Yavuz Selim Kasım shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Affan Kuyas came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line.
