With a couple of smart ball manuevers Baransel Aktemur in the 3rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Birol Zümer saved GAZZE from getting behind. Baransel Aktemur received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Birol Zümer tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 10 minutes into the match, Ugurludag's goal looked a bit too open when Cevher Turabi came free, but Tarık Cintay reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 20 minutes, Garip Işın managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ugurludag's supporters crossed their fingers, but Garip Işın was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 0-1 became the score in the 22nd minute when Sergen Nihat elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. If Sergen Nihat had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After 35 minutes, Sergen Nihat made it 0-2 with a short kick to the right side. GAZZE's Birol Zümer tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 40th minute, Tan Turgut ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Tarık Cintay was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. Baransel Aktemur blasted a shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Birol Zümer having to make a save. 48 minutes into the match, GAZZE's goal looked a bit too open when Sergen Nihat came free, but Birol Zümer reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After a defensive mix-up in GAZZE's zone, Sergen Nihat stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Birol Zümer came out of the goal and Sergen Nihat tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Baransel Aktemur sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
