Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Çağan Özalpman kicked off to start the match. Burç Cezri stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Şakir Berkman's shot from short distance in the 4th minute. The audience was convinced that İsa Üstüner's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Kasım Rafi was relentless in the 7th minute of the game. After 12 minutes of play, Sihhiye's Çağan Özalpman made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. İlhami Kuray struck a weak shot in the 68th minute. Burç Cezri didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kütahya.
