Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Bedirhan Okman made the kick off which started today's match. İlker Nuralp fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yağız Karakaya having to interfere. If Baysal Abay had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nurtekin Hadi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Serbülent Sabancı, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Bedirhan Okman managed to get in a good position for a shot. ERDEM SPOR's supporters rose to their feet, but Bedirhan Okman was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nurtekin Hadi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Bedirhan Okman in the 15th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Nurtekin Hadi saved Hârizmşah from getting behind. Mevlüt Sami in the 22ndth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Nurtekin Hadi, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. In the 23rd minute, Kamuran Tandan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nurtekin Hadi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bedirhan Okman, who was totally free with the ball in the 27th minute. Mevlüt Sami sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Denizhan Muhtar fell near the penalty area in the 30th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Hârizmşah's protests and gave Denizhan Muhtar a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of ERDEM SPOR booed when Hârizmşah was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 30 match minutes in a wonderful position. Denizhan Muhtar didn't get a good kick on the ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Bedirhan Okman in the 35th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Nurtekin Hadi prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 37th minute the ball was on its way in behind Hârizmşah's goalkeeper Nurtekin Hadi, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Hârizmşah's Nurtekin Hadi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bedirhan Okman in the 40th minute of play. Bedirhan Okman fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nurtekin Hadi having to interfere. Yağız Karakaya showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Atak Cihangir, who was totally free with the ball in the 47th minute. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Baysal Abay was the one to do the kick off. After 52 minutes, Naim Uluçam mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ERDEM SPOR and the Hârizmşah players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, ERDEM SPOR's Naim Uluçam got a free kick in the 52nd minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Atak Cihangir got free with Yağız Karakaya in the 55th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Baysal Abay sent away a hard shot on goal in the 56th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 76th minute, Bedirhan Okman managed to get in a good position for a shot. ERDEM SPOR's supporters rose to their feet, but Bedirhan Okman was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nurtekin Hadi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 80th minute, Serbülent Sabancı hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some careless play in the Hârizmşah defense, Mevlüt Sami kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Nurtekin Hadi.
