Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Özal Kutuner started the match with the kick off. In the 5th match minute, KRAL KARTAL was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ulaş Ruçhan to maneuver through the defense. When the match clock showed 16 minutes, the score became 0-2 when Özal Kutuner sped through Havran JK's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Erdinç Özaslan. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Kayhan Başaydın during the 19th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A collision led to Havran JK getting a freekick after 19 minutes play. Kayhan Başaydın hit a great ball. Erdinç Özaslan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ufuk Artuç in the 20th minute of the match. The audience was convinced that Uğur Sabancı's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Erdinç Özaslan was relentless in the 22nd minute of the game. After having played for 23 minutes, Aysan Tümerkan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Havran JK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Aysan Tümerkan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 24 minutes into the game, Mehmet Ediz Öveç was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. KRAL KARTAL's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Havran JK the free kick. Galip Özgulec showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Coşkun Zafer, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. In the 29th minute Uğur Sabancı shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Erdinç Özaslan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 33rd match minute, KRAL KARTAL was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Özkan Avcı to maneuver through the defense. Özal Kutuner received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. Erdinç Özaslan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

In the 37th minute, Kayhan Başaydın hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Yakut Buyrukalp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Coşkun Zafer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Galip Özgulec having to interfere. When Yakut Buyrukalp came up free with the goalie in the 44th minute, the Havran JK 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 Yakut Buyrukalp couldn't finish the play. After the first half KRAL KARTAL were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The wind increased when Coşkun Zafer made the kick off in the second half. The supporters of Havran JK booed when KRAL KARTAL was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 53 match minutes in a wonderful position. Özkan Avcı didn't get a good kick on the ball. Galip Özgulec took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Coşkun Zafer, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ufuk Artuç was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 60th minute. KRAL KARTAL's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Özal Kutuner fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Erdinç Özaslan having to interfere. 63 minutes into the match, Özal Kutuner had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Erdinç Özaslan. Havran JK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Özal Kutuner was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. Havran JK's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Ufuk Artuç 72 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 0-4. The crowd rose to their feet as KRAL KARTAL's Ufuk Artuç slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Erdinç Özaslan. That made the score 0-5 after 76 minutes of play. In the 78th minute, Rauf Suat hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 80 minutes, Çelebi İlkut mouthed his way into the referee's book.
