Menderes's Onuralp Suavi got a good chance for a goal in the 10th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 17 minutes into the match, Menderes's goal looked a bit too open when Cevahir Albayrak came free, but Behlül Verim reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Nafiz Beşir fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Engin Akpolat having to interfere.

When the match had been going on for 41 minutes, Yenikale Birlik's Hamdi Hürmüz got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Behlül Verim. Cevahir Albayrak struck a weak shot in the 45th minute. Behlül Verim didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Yenikale Birlik. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Cevahir Albayrak was the one to do the kick off.

In the 56th minute, Menderes's Onuralp Suavi dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nafiz Beşir in the 61st minute of play forced Yenikale Birlik's goalkeeper Engin Akpolat to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cevahir Albayrak in the 63rd minute of play forced Menderes's goalkeeper Behlül Verim to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Orhan Seyfi Özkut struck a weak shot in the 75th minute. Behlül Verim didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Yenikale Birlik. If Orhan Seyfi Özkut had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Behlül Verim was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Cevahir Albayrak sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Kutlualp Ersavaş was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 96th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Yenikale Birlik had won after a very even match.
