Spectators: 6705 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1655, VIP seats: 50) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Hakkı Onur Vecih took the kick off in the first half of the match. Adana Spor's Uluç Temur got a good chance for a goal in the 3rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Enver İlgi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Uluç Temur, who was totally free with the ball in the 5th minute. Enver İlgi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Uluç Temur, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In a very dangerous position, a player in Messina fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 17th minute. Penalty! In the 19th minute there was a penalty for Adana Spor. Abdulaziz Çidam stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Enver İlgi. 0-1. Hami Çiftçioğlu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 23rd minute. Enver İlgi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hami Çiftçioğlu in the 25th minute of play forced Messina's goalkeeper Enver İlgi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Basri Erdemli might have been able to make a better finish in the 36th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bulut Uzsoy. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Basri Erdemli ran back to his position shaking his head. Adana Spor's Bulut Uzsoy proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 39th minute of the match, managed to save Adana Spor from getting a goal against them. If Hami Çiftçioğlu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 44 minutes into the game, Adana Spor's Uluç Temur nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Enver İlgi made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-2. Hami Çiftçioğlu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 48th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The Messina players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Adana Spor were winning 0-2.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Uluç Temur to strike the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, Messina's Abdulhamit Yöntem got a free kick in the 59th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Adana Spor's zone, Basri Erdemli stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Bulut Uzsoy didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Messina. The supporters of Messina booed when Adana Spor was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 89 match minutes in a wonderful position. Abdulaziz Çidam didn't get a good kick on the ball. The Adana Spor supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Adana Spor would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
