Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Ecuador's Daniel Zorita started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Julio Vera showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hüseyin Akpınar in the 3rd minute of the match. After having played for 8 minutes, Yiğit Ömer managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25's supporters crossed their fingers, but Yiğit Ömer was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some careless play in the 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25 defense, Cristian Sancho kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Çetin Gürgan. The 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Çetin Gürgan should have stopped the shot. If Daniel Zorita had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 18 minutes had been played when some careless play by 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Daniel Zorita was slow to take the kick. During this time Ecuador's players had a chance to rest. Daniel Zorita made a great header on Ecuador's corner, it was just that 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25's Çetin Gürgan managed to reach the ball for a save. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Yiğit Ömer in the 27th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Julio Vera saved Ecuador from getting behind. Cristian Sancho sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 36 minutes into the match, Cristian Sancho had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Çetin Gürgan. 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Cristian Sancho was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0. In the 42nd minute, Güntekin Saru 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. After a rather tough play, 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25's Arif Çelebi Dağhan got a free kick in the 46th minute. 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25 made a substitution. Çelik Kayaalp replaced Güntekin Saru. The supporters of Ecuador booed when 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 47 match minutes in a wonderful position. Arif Çelebi Dağhan didn't get a good kick on the ball. Luis Andino was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 48th minute. Ecuador's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

Çetin Gürgan showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Felix Montenegro, who was totally free with the ball in the 53rd minute. Cristian Sancho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Çetin Gürgan having to interfere. 55 minutes into the match, Ecuador's Agustín Saelices sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Çetin Gürgan narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Arif Çelebi Dağhan kicked well hit freekick during the 56th minute of the match. Julio Vera showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hüseyin Akpınar in the 62nd minute of the match. After some careless play in the 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25 defense, Cristian Sancho kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Çetin Gürgan. The 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25 fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Çetin Gürgan should have stopped the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Çelik Kayaalp in the 70th minute of play forced Ecuador's goalkeeper Julio Vera to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 75 minutes of play, Ecuador's Daniel Zorita made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Çetin Gürgan was left in no man's land by his defense there! Daniel Zorita took the ball and in the 79 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Çetin Gürgan. Çetin Gürgan dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 5-0. 85 minutes into the match, Agustín Saelices had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Çetin Gürgan. 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Agustín Saelices was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 6-0. Çetin Gürgan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Felix Montenegro, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Daniel Zorita received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Çetin Gürgan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 90th match minute, 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25 was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hakkı Bozer to maneuver through the defense. When Oğuzhan Bilen fell near the penalty area in the 96th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25's protests and gave Oğuzhan Bilen a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25 getting a freekick after 96 minutes play. Oğuzhan Bilen hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in 19☆GÖZTEPE☆25's zone, Daniel Zorita stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Çetin Gürgan came out of the goal and Daniel Zorita tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Ecuador had played much better football throughout.
