Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) With a little luck, Machester United's Bulut Doğan got control of the ball when Çağdaş Kuray tried to sneak it across the goal line. When Çağdaş Kuray came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Edirne SK fans jumped to their feet.

Arif Nihat Özsahin was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

Demircan Yılmaz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

Demircan Yılmaz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 43rd minute, Haluk Pekergin had to be helped off the field due to a pulled leg muscle. After 43 minutes of play Edirne SK's Mehmet Ediz Cihaner was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. The supporters of Machester United booed when Edirne SK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 45 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mehmet Ediz Cihaner didn't get a good kick on the ball. After the first half Machester United were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Cesur Lami to strike the kick off in the second half. When Demircan Yılmaz fell near the penalty area in the 53rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Machester United's protests and gave Demircan Yılmaz a yellow card for diving instead. After 53 played minutes Machester United got a freekick which was hit by Demircan Yılmaz. If Cesur Lami had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Çağdaş Kuray came up free with the goalie in the 63rd minute, the Edirne SK fans jumped to their feet.

Machester United's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Edirne SK the free kick. After a rather tough play, Machester United's İshak Çapan got a free kick in the 75th minute. Aras Refiğ took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 76th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Bulut Doğan. Machester United's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Cesur Lami who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 80thth minute tested the skills of Arif Nihat Özsahin when he managed to save the team from getting behind.
