Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Fikri Akman took the kick off in the first half of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Mustafa Hamit Akansel managed to get in a good position for a shot. AKCAKÖY's supporters rose to their feet, but Mustafa Hamit Akansel was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Abdulkerim Metin breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Celil Erdoğdu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gürol Tarhan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 10 minutes into the game, Göksel İldeniz was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. AKCAKÖY's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Galatasaray the free kick. Hüsrev Yağızalp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Mustafa Hamit Akansel came up free with the goalie in the 14th minute, the AKCAKÖY fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Mustafa Hamit Akansel couldn't finish the play. İsmail Orhun Akçay hit a great freekick 17 minutes into the match. With a little luck, Galatasaray's Abdulkerim Metin got control of the ball when Mustafa Hamit Akansel tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 23rd minute Hayri Afşar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abdulkerim Metin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Fikri Akman struck a weak shot in the 34th minute. Celil Erdoğdu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Galatasaray. After a defensive mix-up in Galatasaray's zone, Mustafa Hamit Akansel stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Abdulkerim Metin came out of the goal and Mustafa Hamit Akansel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mustafa Hamit Akansel to make the kick off. Mustafa Hamit Akansel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 53rd minute. Abdulkerim Metin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 59 minutes into the game, Fikri Akman recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Celil Erdoğdu. Fikri Akman showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-1. Celil Erdoğdu made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fikri Akman in the 70th minute of play. 72 minutes into the game, Mustafa Hamit Akansel was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. AKCAKÖY's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Galatasaray the free kick. Gürol Tarhan charged in rather forcefully in the 88th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Gürol Tarhan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Gürol Tarhan hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Abdulkerim Metin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Mustafa Hamit Akansel in the 94th minute of the match. AKCAKÖY were awarded a corner in the 95th minute after Galatasaray's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Mustafa Hamit Akansel took the corner. The corner first didn't look so dangerous but when Hayri Afşar got the ball he succeeded in some way to get through the defenders to deliver a very hard score. Result 1-1. 96 minutes into the match. AKCAKÖY succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Galatasaray had controlled the match.
