In the 5th minute, Berat Teksoy hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Alberto Tafalla struck a weak shot in the 6th minute. Kudret Baltacıoğlu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mexico. Luca Zorita received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Kudret Baltacıoğlu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 10th minute, Joel Gaona left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Mexico fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. If Alberto Tafalla had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ahmet Ziya Bilginer in the 18th minute of play forced Mexico's goalkeeper Dante Lacasa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Kudret Baltacıoğlu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Joel Gaona, who was totally free with the ball in the 20th minute. 21 minutes into the match, DOĞA∞HUZUR∞BİLGİ∞BAŞARI's goal looked a bit too open when Luca Zorita came free, but Kudret Baltacıoğlu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Kudret Baltacıoğlu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lautaro Mancebo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Lautaro Mancebo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half Mexico were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Baykam Sertaçgil to make the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 56th minute, Lautaro Mancebo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mexico's supporters rose to their feet, but Lautaro Mancebo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kudret Baltacıoğlu breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 59 minutes into the match, Ahmet Ziya Bilginer notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Mexico's Dante Lacasa.

After a rather tough play, DOĞA∞HUZUR∞BİLGİ∞BAŞARI's Cebrail Akbaş got a free kick in the 63rd minute. Cebrail Akbaş charged in rather forcefully in the 70th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Cebrail Akbaş the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 72 played minutes, Mexico's Joel Gaona shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Kudret Baltacıoğlu 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 Mexico reached it. In the 75th minute of the match, Lautaro Mancebo got a very nice opportunity to score, but Kudret Baltacıoğlu was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. In the 78th minute, Ahmet Ziya Bilginer ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Dante Lacasa was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-1. 82 minutes into the match, Ahmet Ziya Bilginer notched a goal, 3-1, to the right of Mexico's Dante Lacasa.
