Ufuk Ersavaş hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. A hard shot by Enis Birhan from long distance, 4 minutes into the match, got Nazil Durhal's attention.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Hıdır Akabe couldn't finish the play. 31 minutes into the match, RED BULLS's goal looked a bit too open when Lütfullah Kamran came free, but Tuna Özerkmen reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Hüsmen İzzettin made a kick off. Giray İzhan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 52nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Selmi Malgır fell near the penalty area in the 54th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored RED BULLS's protests and gave Selmi Malgır a yellow card for diving instead. After 54 played minutes RED BULLS got a freekick which was hit by Selmi Malgır. Lütfullah Kamran might have been able to make a better finish in the 55th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tuna Özerkmen. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Lütfullah Kamran ran back to his position shaking his head. Giray İzhan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Tuna Özerkmen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 69th minute, Hüsmen İzzettin managed to get in a good position for a shot. RED BULLS's supporters rose to their feet, but Hüsmen İzzettin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nazil Durhal breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hıdır Akabe in the 71st minute of play forced Gökceada's goalkeeper Nazil Durhal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
