Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Şimşek Yengi started the match with the kick off. Can Safir stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Yetkiner Taylan's shot from short distance in the 4th minute. In the 6th minute, SEZAİ SPOR's Şimşek Yengi dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. Ateş Balım recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 11thth minute of the game Ateş Balım who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but SEZAİ SPOR's Can Safir was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 15 minutes into the game, one of Karabük:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. The goalkeeper, Taha Demiray, was totally fooled by SEZAİ SPOR's Ali Vedat Ergüner, who 18 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. The audience thought a goal was coming when Tümer İshak got free with Taha Demiray in the 24th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 26 minutes into the game, Ahmet Erdem Ulubek was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. SEZAİ SPOR's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Karabük the free kick. In the 26th minute, Ahmet Erdem Ulubek hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ateş Balım, 27 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. The supporters of Karabük booed when SEZAİ SPOR was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 37 match minutes in a wonderful position. Göktürk Sabahaddin didn't get a good kick on the ball. Taha Demiray made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Şimşek Yengi in the 39th minute of play. In the 46th match minute, SEZAİ SPOR was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Tümer İshak to maneuver through the defense. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-0 at half-time.

After 58 minutes of play SEZAİ SPOR's Ahmet Erdem Ulubek 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. In the 59th minute, Ahmet Erdem Ulubek hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Olgun Deveci had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Karabük's Taha Demiray played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tümer İshak in the 68th minute of play. Şimşek Yengi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Taha Demiray tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 86 minutes into the match, Karabük's goal looked a bit too open when Ahmet Nedim Refettin came free, but Taha Demiray reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Şimşek Yengi's late challenge caught a Karabük's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Şimşek Yengi helped the player get up and apologised. After a defensive mix-up in Karabük's zone, Tümer İshak stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Taha Demiray came out of the goal and Tümer İshak tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
