Ahlat
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Arif Cengiz Nurdag made the kick off and thus started the match. In the 7th minute Erman Başsoy shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yılmaz Cangur saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Özcan Çelikhan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

An unexpected shot in the 14th minute by Merih Akabe got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Özcan Çelikhan in the 16th minute of play forced Ahlat's goalkeeper Aras Görkem Sağlamer to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Aras Görkem Sağlamer came out of the goal and Özcan Çelikhan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Aras Görkem Sağlamer took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Özcan Çelikhan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Yenimahalle's supporters crossed their fingers, but Özcan Çelikhan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Despite being the better team, Yenimahalle failed to find the winning goal and were forced to settle for a single point.
