Spectators: 7175 (Terracing: 5383, Seating: 1650, VIP seats: 142) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Paşa Ersevim started the match with the kick off. The long shot by Başaran Dindar in the 3rd minute really tested Ekrem Baray's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. 7 minutes in the game, Zülfikar Bucuk fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Ekrem Baray having to interfere. Ferid Sezmen hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Paşa Ersevim in the 8th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Ekrem Baray prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Ekrem Baray showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Paşa Ersevim in the 13th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, ๘۩ The LIONS™ ๘۩'s Utkan Azimoğlu got a free kick in the 15th minute. 20 minutes into the match, Findikli's goalkeeper Ekrem Baray had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Zülfikar Bucuk.

A very good chance. ๘۩ The LIONS™ ๘۩'s Zülfikar Bucuk got a good chance for a goal in the 46th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ferid Sezmen to make the kick off. Ekrem Baray stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Paşa Ersevim's shot from short distance in the 65th minute. If Ferid Sezmen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ekrem Baray came out of the goal in the 80th minute to try and stop a shot by ๘۩ The LIONS™ ๘۩'s Zülfikar Bucuk. But to his dismay, Zülfikar Bucuk quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. Evren Tecmil took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ferid Sezmen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. For all the effort they put into the match, the Findikli players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for ๘۩ The LIONS™ ๘۩.
