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. Kunter İslam started the match with the kick off. Kunter İslam blasted a shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ahmet Erdem İlkcan having to make a save. Devlet Ulutekin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hayrettin Yükselir, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Kunter İslam in the 12th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ahmet Erdem İlkcan saved Universe F.C. from getting behind. Gazanfer Özcan Akçalı's late challenge caught a Universe F.C.'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gazanfer Özcan Akçalı helped the player get up and apologised. In the 14th minute, Gazanfer Özcan Akçalı hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 17th minute the ball was on its way in behind Kofcaz SK's goalkeeper Devlet Ulutekin, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 20 minutes into the game, Murathan Durak was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Universe F.C.'s manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Kofcaz SK the free kick. If Kunter İslam had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ahmet Erdem İlkcan made an important save on a dangerous shot by Alperen Halıcıoğlu in the 31st minute. Ahmet Erdem İlkcan showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Kunter İslam, who was totally free with the ball in the 32nd minute. When Sezer Eriş fell near the penalty area in the 33rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Universe F.C.'s protests and gave Sezer Eriş a yellow card for diving instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kunter İslam in the 34th minute of play forced Universe F.C.'s goalkeeper Ahmet Erdem İlkcan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ahmet Erdem İlkcan stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Kunter İslam's shot from short distance in the 35th minute. Alperen Halıcıoğlu came free with the goalkeeper in the 40th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Ahmet Erdem İlkcan could save by the left post. Kunter İslam sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 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 2-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Hayrettin Yükselir made a kick off. When Hayrettin Yükselir came up free with the goalie in the 51st minute, the Universe F.C. 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 Hayrettin Yükselir couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Universe F.C. booed when Kofcaz SK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 54 match minutes in a wonderful position. Neşat Yuluğ didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 59thth minute of the game Kunter İslam who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Universe F.C.'s Ahmet Erdem İlkcan was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hayrettin Yükselir in the 61st minute of play forced Kofcaz SK's goalkeeper Devlet Ulutekin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some careless play in the Kofcaz SK defense, Ensar Peyam kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Devlet Ulutekin. The Kofcaz SK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Devlet Ulutekin should have stopped the shot. Gazanfer Özcan Akçalı hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. Ensar Peyam struck a weak shot in the 76th minute. Devlet Ulutekin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Universe F.C.. If Ensar Peyam had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Alperen Halıcıoğlu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 89 minutes into the game, Kofcaz SK's Adnan Demirel nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ahmet Erdem İlkcan made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-1. For all the effort they put into the match, the Universe F.C. players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Kofcaz SK.
