Naim Alkın hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Gürbüz Sarih in the 17th minute of play forced Akyurt's goalkeeper Nurettin Koçhan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 18th minute, Gürbüz Sarih managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kabadüz's supporters rose to their feet, but Gürbüz Sarih was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nurettin Koçhan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 22 minutes into the game, Teoman Ayvaz was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Kabadüz's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Akyurt the free kick. After 22 played minutes Kabadüz got a freekick which was hit by Teoman Ayvaz. The audience was convinced that Ümit Kağan's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Esat Niyazi was relentless in the 30th minute of the game. The attack was good, but when Naim Alkın in the 32nd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Ümit Kağan struck a weak shot in the 34th minute. Esat Niyazi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Akyurt. Aygün Oktay hit a great freekick 35 minutes into the match. In the 36th minute, Naim Alkın made a precise shot to the right of Esat Niyazi. Kabadüz's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1.

Nurettin Koçhan showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Gürbüz Sarih, who was totally free with the ball in the 52nd minute. 53 minutes into the match, Akyurt's goal looked a bit too open when Gökberk Demircioğlu came free, but Nurettin Koçhan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Gökberk Demircioğlu took the ball and in the 62 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Nurettin Koçhan. Nurettin Koçhan dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. Ümit Kağan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 66th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Gökberk Demircioğlu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

When Kabadüz's Gökberk Demircioğlu in the 80th minute got a chance for a shot 80th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Akyurt's goalie prevented a goal. After 81 minutes, Gürbüz Sarih made it 3-1 with a short kick to the right side.
