Ahmet Ege Ertüze took the ball and in the 8 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Onuralp Kandemir.

After 14 played minutes, Galatasaray JK's Orhan Veli Aşık shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Atay Sağun came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Galatasaray JK reached it. In the 19th minute, Ahmet Ege Ertüze got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.

In the 35th minute, ALIAGA SPOR's Yusuf Bahadır Balıkçı seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Yusuf Bahadır Balıkçı the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of ALIAGA SPOR protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Yusuf Bahadır Balıkçı had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 34th minute of the game. One of ALIAGA SPOR:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Galatasaray JK:s goal.

Refik Halit Oncubay received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Atay Sağun tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dilaver Temirhan in the 48th minute of play forced ALIAGA SPOR's goalkeeper Atay Sağun to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After the first half Galatasaray JK were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Galatasaray JK were awarded a corner in the 53th minute after ALIAGA SPOR's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Ateş Şıran took the corner. After 56 played minutes ALIAGA SPOR got a freekick which was hit by Ahmet Erdem Kutlualp. Affan Server recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Orhan Veli Aşık fell near the penalty area in the 64th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Galatasaray JK's protests and gave Orhan Veli Aşık a yellow card for diving instead. Orhan Veli Aşık hit a great freekick 64 minutes into the match. Atay Sağun made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Affan Server in the 73rd minute of play.

Refik Halit Oncubay fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Atay Sağun having to interfere. ALIAGA SPOR's Atay Sağun played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Affan Server in the 85th minute of play. After 87 minutes, Enes Mertoğlu made it 2-3 with a short kick to the right side. Galatasaray JK's Onuralp Kandemir tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Affan Server received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Atay Sağun came out and tried to block the shot, but Affan Server slotted it home off the left post making it 2-4 in the 92nd minute. Galatasaray JK played a much better game than ALIAGA SPOR and deserved their victory. The ALIAGA SPOR players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
