Spectators: 7500 (Terracing: 5625, Seating: 1725, VIP seats: 150) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Tarık Okseven took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Mümtaz İzgi came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the Zenci İdman Kulübü 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 Mümtaz İzgi couldn't finish the play. Onur Saadettin struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Achille Ruscitti didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for T O K T A Ğ A N.
