Est Rommel Fernández
Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Türkeş Akşit started the match with the kick off. Panama's Marcos Cotilla played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Türkeş Akşit in the 3rd minute of play. The supporters of Andırın SK booed when Panama was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 9 match minutes in a wonderful position. Matthew Garrido didn't get a good kick on the ball. Marcos Cotilla took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lou Mazuret, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a defensive mix-up in Panama's zone, Lou Mazuret stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Marcos Cotilla came out of the goal and Lou Mazuret tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 20th minute, Türkeş Akşit left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Andırın SK fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. In the 23rd minute, Ilmar Murumets 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. If Isidoro Sarmiento had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Türkeş Akşit fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Marcos Cotilla having to interfere. When the match had gone on for 33 minutes, Türkeş Akşit put it in 0-2 from a short distance just to the right of Marcos Cotilla. After having played for 36 minutes, Türkeş Akşit managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Andırın SK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Türkeş Akşit was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Türkeş Akşit came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Andırın SK fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Türkeş Akşit couldn't finish the play. In the 44th minute the ball was on its way in behind Panama's goalkeeper Marcos Cotilla, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Türkeş Akşit in the 47th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Marcos Cotilla saved Panama from getting behind. After 47th play minutes Türkeş Akşit shot 0-3, a short shot which went by Marcos Cotilla and just under the crossbar into goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

In the 52nd minute Türkeş Akşit shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Marcos Cotilla saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Marcos Cotilla was a little too slow when Lou Mazuret got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 57th minute. The score was now 0-4. Andırın SK's Ozan Sidal was substituted for Cyprian Trochowski. Andırın SK's Olaf Jarosz was substituted for Lou Mazuret. If Olaf Jarosz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Batıhan Saik's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Marcos Cotilla read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 68th minute of play. In the 69th minute Andırın SK were awarded a corner. Naci Tansu went to the cornerflag to take it. It was a well-played corner which Martin Bacalbașa managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. In the 78th minute, Olaf Jarosz 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. The audience was convinced that Batıhan Saik's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Marcos Cotilla was relentless in the 81st minute of the game. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Batıhan Saik in the 84th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Marcos Cotilla prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Andırın SK's attentive Rahim İskender managed to snatch the ball when Matthew Garrido made a throw-in in the 86th minute of the game. 87 minutes into the match, Olaf Jarosz dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Marcos Cotilla, 0-5. Batıhan Saik recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 91st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 94 minutes Panama's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Naci Tansu who took care of the corner kick. The corner led Andırın SK's Naci Tansu to fire away a dangerous shot which Marcos Cotilla despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Marcos Cotilla showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Batıhan Saik in the 97th minute of the match. Panama's defense didn't have a chance, in the 97th minute, when Batıhan Saik scored to the left of an out of position Marcos Cotilla, making the score, 0-6.
