Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Fabien Canu got the match started through his kick off. In the 4th minute the ball was on its way in behind Lunar Park's goalkeeper Cedric Van Langhendoncx, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After 5 played minutes ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐► got a freekick which was hit by Primitivo Balesio. When Mustafa Yaşar Recai came up free with the goalie in the 19th minute, the ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐► 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 Mustafa Yaşar Recai couldn't finish the play. Cedric Van Langhendoncx showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Matteo Mata, who was totally free with the ball in the 25th minute. The corner led ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐►'s Anton Scheupach to fire away a dangerous shot which Cedric Van Langhendoncx despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. After 29 played minutes ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐► got a freekick which was hit by Leopoldo Boniel. 30 minutes into the match, ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐►'s goalkeeper Derman Soysaldı had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Carlos Taillade. After 40 minutes of play, ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐►'s Matteo Mata made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Cedric Van Langhendoncx was left in no man's land by his defense there! Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Matteo Mata to make the kick off. After a rather tough play, Lunar Park's Antoni Szymanowski got a free kick in the 54th minute. Primitivo Balesio made in the 57th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Matteo Mata immediately put the ball in play. 61 minutes into the game, Lunar Park's Fabien Canu nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Derman Soysaldı made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-2. In the 72nd minute, Fabien Canu made a precise shot to the right of Derman Soysaldı. ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐►'s defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-2. ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐► made a substitution. Mete Taçkın replaced Gürkan Gurko. Carlos Taillade received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Derman Soysaldı tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐►'s Hasan Bağış was substituted for Caroll Baskin. ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐►'s attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Anton Scheupach in the 87th minute. If Matteo Mata had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 90 minutes into the match, Lunar Park's goal looked a bit too open when Matteo Mata came free, but Cedric Van Langhendoncx reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Derman Soysaldı showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Fabien Canu in the 92nd minute of the match. Derman Soysaldı took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fabien Canu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Lunar Park succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though ◄▌Anatolia Athletic▐► had controlled the match.
