Spectators: 6666 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1666, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ayberk Tuğbay took the kick off in the first half of the match. Ogün Safvet's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 3rdth minute, Cevahir Uraz skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. In the 5th minute the ball was on its way in behind Suhut's goalkeeper Emirşah Cihanmert, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mevlüt Dalayer in the 7th minute of play forced Suhut's goalkeeper Emirşah Cihanmert to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The long shot by Şehzade Öztan in the 12th minute really tested Cevahir Uraz's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. In the 18th minute Ayberk Tuğbay shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Cevahir Uraz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ayberk Tuğbay struck a weak shot in the 24th minute. Cevahir Uraz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Suhut. Ogün Safvet's late challenge caught a Bitlis Football Club's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ogün Safvet helped the player get up and apologised. In the 32nd minute, Ogün Safvet hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience was convinced that Kılıçalp Humbaracıbaşı's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Emirşah Cihanmert was relentless in the 33rd minute of the game. Bitlis Football Club's Mevlüt Dalayer pulled a muscle in his back after 35 minutes and couldn't finish the game. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Arda Baybars Yükselir during the 36th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The referee gave Bitlis Football Club a penalty, 38 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Güvenç İcabi, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Suhut's Emirşah Cihanmert. 0-1. Bahri Altınkaya hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match. Ayberk Tuğbay received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Cevahir Uraz came out and tried to block the shot, but Ayberk Tuğbay slotted it home off the left post making it 1-1 in the 46th minute. 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 hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Kılıçalp Humbaracıbaşı to strike the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in Bitlis Football Club's zone, Ogün Safvet stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Cevahir Uraz came out of the goal and Ogün Safvet tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Cevahir Uraz showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ogün Safvet in the 66th minute of the match. After 66 minutes, Ahmet İlke Perkel mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Bitlis Football Club and the Suhut players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 74th minute, Kılıçalp Humbaracıbaşı got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Ayberk Tuğbay sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Bitlis Football Club's Güvenç İcabi got a free kick in the 83rd minute. Arda Baybars Yükselir took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 85th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Cevahir Uraz. Bitlis Football Club's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. If Kılıçalp Humbaracıbaşı had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 91 minutes into the game, Zafer Sayın was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Suhut's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bitlis Football Club the free kick. In the 94th minute, Emir İlksen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 96th minute the ball was on its way in behind Suhut's goalkeeper Emirşah Cihanmert, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
