Spectators: 7253 (Terracing: 5441, Seating: 1668, VIP seats: 144) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Arda Baybars Toköz started the match with the kick off. After 2 played minutes Armutlu got a freekick which was hit by Gazanfer Özcan Erendiz. 3 minutes into the match, Kubat Taşcan had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Müfit Hizanlı. Armutlu's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Kubat Taşcan was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. 8 minutes into the game, Orhun Başat cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Müfit Hizanlı was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a rather tough play, Straniia SK's Orhun Başat got a free kick in the 12th minute. In the 13th play minute Artun Şahinter came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Özgün Canal. 1-2. In the 16th minute Kubat Taşcan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Müfit Hizanlı saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 19 minutes into the match, Armutlu's goal looked a bit too open when Orhun Başat came free, but Müfit Hizanlı reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Arda Baybars Toköz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Özgün Canal made a fantastic save in the 28th minute, when Artun Şahinter sent off a good shot on target. Özgün Canal showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Arda Baybars Toköz in the 29th minute of the match. Artun Şahinter scored 3-2 in the 30th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Özgün Canal, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After a rather tough play, Straniia SK's İdris İstanbullu got a free kick in the 36th minute. Armutlu's Artun Şahinter got a good chance for a goal in the 38th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Kubat Taşcan took the ball and in the 43 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Müfit Hizanlı. Müfit Hizanlı dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-3. In the 46th minute, Ömür Arısoy hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Arda Baybars Toköz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Özgün Canal having to interfere. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 4-3.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Kubat Taşcan stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Kubat Taşcan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some careless play in the Straniia SK defense, Arda Baybars Toköz kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Özgün Canal. The Straniia SK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Özgün Canal should have stopped the shot. With a little luck, Armutlu's Müfit Hizanlı got control of the ball when Orhun Başat tried to sneak it across the goal line. Orhun Başats short, quick shot in the 65thth minute got Müfit Hizanlı to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Oğuz Beysun received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Özgün Canal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Özgün Canal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Artun Şahinter, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Kubat Taşcan struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Müfit Hizanlı didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Straniia SK. In the 90th minute of the match, Orhun Başat got a very nice opportunity to score, but Müfit Hizanlı was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. 96 minutes into the game, İdris İstanbullu was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Straniia SK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Armutlu the free kick. İdris İstanbullu kicked well hit freekick during the 96th minute of the match. For all the effort they put into the match, the Straniia SK players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Armutlu.
