Spectators: 7650 (Terracing: 5739, Seating: 1759, VIP seats: 152) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alperen Kumukbay started the match with the kick off. GAMEOVER's Şeref Sökmener got a good chance for a goal in the 6th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 10 minutes into the match, Tigers's goalkeeper Afşin Topuz had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Şeref Sökmener. Batı Gezer took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ahmet Bülent Uçbeyi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Özdemir Demirbaş was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 18 minutes into the match. 17 minutes into the game, one of GAMEOVER:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. In the 25th minute Gürhan Sarı shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Batı Gezer saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Gürhan Sarı took the ball and in the 28 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Batı Gezer. Batı Gezer dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-3. Ahmet Bülent Uçbeyi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Batı Gezer having to interfere. When Gürhan Sarı fell near the penalty area in the 38th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tigers's protests and gave Gürhan Sarı a yellow card for diving instead. 44 minutes into the game, Tigers's Boğaç Özdal nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Batı Gezer made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-4. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-4 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ahmet Bülent Uçbeyi stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When the match had gone on for 51 minutes, Gürhan Sarı put it in 0-5 from a short distance just to the right of Batı Gezer. GAMEOVER's Baskın Ötüken managed to work through Tigers's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Baskın Ötüken dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Baskın Ötüken in the 60th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Afşin Topuz prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Namık Nebi's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Afşin Topuz read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 62nd minute of play. 65 minutes into the game, Namık Nebi was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. GAMEOVER's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Tigers the free kick. Namık Nebi hit a great freekick 65 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Namık Nebi in the 67th minute of play forced Tigers's goalkeeper Afşin Topuz to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 68 minutes, Yılmaz Nuratay mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tigers and the GAMEOVER players grew even worse after the yellow card. 79 minutes into the match, Gürhan Sarı notched a goal, 0-7, to the right of GAMEOVER's Batı Gezer. Batı Gezer was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Gürhan Sarı in the 82ndth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Batı Gezer, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Batı Gezer showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Yılmaz Nuratay, who was totally free with the ball in the 85th minute.
