Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Alpay Özkan took the kick off in the first half of the match. Seyrani Melih could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 3rd minute of the match, but Egemen Bayraktar made a huge save. Aytek Hilal took the ball and in the 5 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ertunç Kalhan. Ertunç Kalhan dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. An unexpected shot in the 8th minute by Seyrani Melih got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. If İlhami Beşer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alpay Özkan in the 13th minute of play forced Efsanespor's goalkeeper Ertunç Kalhan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Kagithane SK's Nazmi Sözmen was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Ertunç Kalhan in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. After 18 played minutes Efsanespor got a freekick which was hit by Halit Fahri Bergin. Efsanespor's Ertunç Kalhan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nazmi Sözmen in the 21st minute of play. After 23 played minutes Kagithane SK got a freekick which was hit by Naci Öztarhan. A hard shot by Numan Güzir from long distance, 24 minutes into the match, got Egemen Bayraktar's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Seyrani Melih received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Egemen Bayraktar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Kagithane SK's Naci Öztarhan got a free kick in the 37th minute. Numan Güzir was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 37th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. 44 minutes into the match, Efsanespor's goal looked a bit too open when Nazmi Sözmen came free, but Ertunç Kalhan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Alpay Özkan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Nazmi Sözmen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The wind increased when Seyrani Melih made the kick off in the second half. Efsanespor's Ertunç Kalhan proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 55th minute of the match, managed to save Efsanespor from getting a goal against them. Kagithane SK's Alpay Özkan got a good chance for a goal in the 61st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 63 played minutes, Efsanespor's Lefter Paksan shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Egemen Bayraktar came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Efsanespor reached it. The supporters of Kagithane SK booed when Efsanespor was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Halit Fahri Bergin didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alpay Özkan in the 73rd minute of play forced Efsanespor's goalkeeper Ertunç Kalhan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Naci Öztarhan's late challenge caught a Efsanespor's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Naci Öztarhan helped the player get up and apologised. In the 79th match minute, Kagithane SK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Naci Öztarhan to maneuver through the defense. Ertunç Kalhan made an important save on a dangerous shot by Nazmi Sözmen in the 85th minute. 88 minutes into the match, Seyrani Melih notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Kagithane SK's Egemen Bayraktar. Egemen Bayraktar was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Alpay Özkan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 93rd minute. Ertunç Kalhan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Efsanespor's Halit Fahri Bergin got a free kick in the 96th minute. For all the effort they put into the match, the Kagithane SK players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Efsanespor.
