Spectators: 7264 (Terracing: 5639, Seating: 1575, VIP seats: 50) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Emirhan Uğuralp made the kick off which started today's match. After a rather tough play, MERDO's Seyit Yorgun got a free kick in the 2nd minute. 3 minutes into the match, MERDO's goal looked a bit too open when Emirhan Uğuralp came free, but Kahraman Alatay reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Kahraman Alatay showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Emirhan Uğuralp, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. Rıza Canbek received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Kahraman Alatay tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Emirhan Uğuralp struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. Kahraman Alatay didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ENDi DUFREYN. The supporters of MERDO booed when ENDi DUFREYN was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 19 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rahim Orcun didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 24th minute, Nadir Temel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ahmet Reha Serhan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 27th minute.

The wind increased when Ahmet Reha Serhan made the kick off in the second half. 55 minutes into the match, MERDO's goal looked a bit too open when Emirhan Uğuralp came free, but Kahraman Alatay reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 62nd minute the ball was on its way in behind MERDO's goalkeeper Kahraman Alatay, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ahmet Bülent Ümit during the 67th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Emirhan Uğuralp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Through an outstanding action, after 72 minutes, Kahraman Alatay successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. In the 74th minute, Ahmet Reha Serhan ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Nazım Tanaydin was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0.
