Spectators: 7711 (Terracing: 5785, Seating: 1773, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Yaser Ulutan kicked off to start the match. Sufi Nefi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Emanuele Proietti, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Emanuele Proietti had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 6th minute Emanuele Proietti shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sufi Nefi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 15 minutes into the match, Nusaybin Spor's goal looked a bit too open when Emanuele Proietti came free, but Sufi Nefi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Benni Hillekes scored 0-1 in the 21st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Sufi Nefi, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Bektaş Ali Mücip sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Călin Vasilică had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Paşa Üstündağ received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Vedat Tankoç tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

When Saraç FK's Benni Hillekes in the 62nd minute got a chance for a shot 62nd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Nusaybin Spor's goalie prevented a goal. Nusaybin Spor's defense didn't have a chance, in the 67th minute, when Călin Vasilică scored to the left of an out of position Sufi Nefi, making the score, 0-4. An unexpectedly hard shot by Faik Tamay in the 75th minute of play forced Saraç FK's goalkeeper Vedat Tankoç to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Nusaybin Spor's Dario Parish quickly snatched the ball and retained possesion. A collision led to Nusaybin Spor getting a freekick after 91 minutes play. Gerald Humphrey hit a great ball. Emanuele Proietti was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 93rd minute. Saraç FK's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Benni Hillekes who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 94thth minute tested the skills of Sufi Nefi when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Saraç FK eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
