Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Finlay Stair took the kick off in the first half of the match. Karlus Waugh hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. Demonde Jacobson showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mustafa Hakan İmroz in the 11th minute of the match. BERTİZ JK's Mustafa Hakan İmroz got a good chance for a goal in the 16th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ahmet Hayri Yarlık in the 19th minute of play forced Jamaica's goalkeeper Demonde Jacobson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Mustafa Barış Onuk had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 29th minute Hüsnü Halıcı shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Demonde Jacobson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A throw-in in the 36th minute of the game was made by Wayan Freeman with Jarell Hill as target, who quickly passed the ball forward. Romon Oliver hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. 41 minutes into the match, Jamaica's goal looked a bit too open when Mustafa Hakan İmroz came free, but Demonde Jacobson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Hüsnü Halıcı sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mustafa Hakan İmroz to make the kick off. In the 53rd minute Aytek Keçili shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Demonde Jacobson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Hüsnü Halıcı had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. BERTİZ JK's Mustafa Hakan İmroz got a good chance for a goal in the 57th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Ediz Saban took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Finlay Stair, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Demonde Jacobson showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Aytek Keçili, who was totally free with the ball in the 72nd minute. When Aytek Keçili came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the BERTİZ JK 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 Aytek Keçili couldn't finish the play. A collision led to Jamaica getting a freekick after 82 minutes play. Finlay Stair hit a great ball. Demonde Jacobson made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mustafa Barış Onuk in the 85th minute of play. If Aytek Keçili had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 91st minute, Hüsnü Halıcı hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 94th minute, Sercan İdrisoğlu left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The BERTİZ JK fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1.
