Spectators: 524 (Terracing: 394, Seating: 120, VIP seats: 10) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Daniele Massaro got the match started through his kick off. In the 4th minute Elia Cellucci shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Edmund Dulemba saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Zé Dos Reis's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Eugenio Colecchia read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 5th minute of play. If Zé Dos Reis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 11 minutes into the match, Seggiano's goal looked a bit too open when Yngve Lindqvist came free, but Eugenio Colecchia reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Edmund Dulemba didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Daniele Massaro went, in the 18th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Erhan Sarıoğlu managed to get in a good position for a shot. Türk Polis Gücü's supporters rose to their feet, but Erhan Sarıoğlu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Eugenio Colecchia breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Zé Dos Reis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 30 minutes into the match, Seggiano's goal looked a bit too open when Zé Dos Reis came free, but Eugenio Colecchia reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Zé Dos Reis struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Eugenio Colecchia didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Türk Polis Gücü.

After having played for 57 minutes, Zé Dos Reis managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Türk Polis Gücü's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zé Dos Reis was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Erhan Sarıoğlu's late challenge caught a Seggiano's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Erhan Sarıoğlu helped the player get up and apologised. After 69 played minutes Türk Polis Gücü got a freekick which was hit by Erhan Sarıoğlu. Erhan Sarıoğlu kicked well hit freekick during the 70th minute of the match. Zaid Cevahir scored 2-1 in the 74th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Eugenio Colecchia, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.
