Spectators: 7172 (Terracing: 5381, Seating: 1649, VIP seats: 142) Arda Baybars Nurdag showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sedat Ülküm, who was totally free with the ball in the 4th minute. 8 minutes into the match, Bektaş Akgöze had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Arda Baybars Nurdag. Kecierengücü's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Bektaş Akgöze was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Yusuf Ayhan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

It was a penalty for Kecierengücü! Bektaş Akgöze hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match.

Saltuk Başay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Yusuf Ayhan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Bektaş Akgöze to make the kick off. Şenel Özsu might have been able to make a better finish in the 56th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Arda Baybars Nurdag. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Şenel Özsu ran back to his position shaking his head. After some fancy dribbling in the 63rd minute, Sedat Ülküm managed to get in a good position for a shot.
