After 3 minutes, Lennart Arumeel made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. TRABZON's İsa Zümer tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Lennart Arumeel in the 13th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg İsa Zümer saved TRABZON from getting behind. When Mehmet Akif Tanyeri came up free with the goalie in the 15th minute, the Gladiators of Darkness 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 Mehmet Akif Tanyeri couldn't finish the play. If Lennart Arumeel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Lennart Arumeel's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but İsa Zümer was relentless in the 19th minute of the game. In the 21st minute, Alemdar Usum hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 22 minutes into the game, Lennart Arumeel cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Lennart Arumeel couldn't finish the play. In the 27th minute the ball was on its way in behind TRABZON's goalkeeper İsa Zümer, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 30thth minute of the game Lennart Arumeel who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but TRABZON's İsa Zümer was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. TRABZON's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Enginsu Uskan in the 33rd minute. Enginsu Uskan made a great header on TRABZON's corner, it was just that Gladiators of Darkness's Ove Nordström managed to reach the ball for a save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mehmet Akif Tanyeri in the 34th minute of play forced TRABZON's goalkeeper İsa Zümer to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gladiators of Darkness's Mehmet Akif Tanyeri managed to work through TRABZON's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Mehmet Akif Tanyeri dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Rafettin İnan hit a great freekick 36 minutes into the match. 39 minutes in the game, Lennart Arumeel dribbled his way through the penalty area and after maneuvering past an opponent, drilled a quick shot at the goal. The ball looked like it was going in, but it was hit a bit too hard and flew over the goal. Josué Freitas recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 41st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

Josué Freitas was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 51st minute. Gladiators of Darkness's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. The supporters of Gladiators of Darkness booed when TRABZON was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Enginsu Uskan didn't get a good kick on the ball. Gladiators of Darkness's Eugeniusz Majkowski shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 58th minute of play. The shot was stopped by İsa Zümer but with some difficulty. After 63rd play minutes Lennart Arumeel shot 0-4, a short shot which went by İsa Zümer and just under the crossbar into goal. Lennart Arumeel might have been able to make a better finish in the 65th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over İsa Zümer. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Lennart Arumeel ran back to his position shaking his head. After a rather tough play, TRABZON's Enginsu Uskan got a free kick in the 68th minute. In the 73rd minute, Lennart Arumeel fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post.
