Spectators: 7222 (Terracing: 5418, Seating: 1661, VIP seats: 143) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Faik Özkutal made the kick off which started today's match. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Şenel Çetintürk during the 14th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 22nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Genç Fener's goalkeeper Fethi Hazlan, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Ali Hamza Özsungur fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fethi Hazlan having to interfere. If Faik Özkutal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 36th minute, Osman Ali Sayyad left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Genç Fener fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. After a defensive mix-up in Antalya's zone, Samim Açıker stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Tayyip Ülkü came out of the goal and Samim Açıker tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. İskender Hazer's late challenge caught a Antalya's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. İskender Hazer helped the player get up and apologised. İskender Hazer hit a great freekick 47 minutes into the match. After the first half Genç Fener were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Samim Açıker to strike the kick off in the second half. Osman Ali Sayyad received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 53rd minute. Tayyip Ülkü tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Samim Açıker fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tayyip Ülkü having to interfere. Tayyip Ülkü took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Samim Açıker, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 61 played minutes Genç Fener got a freekick which was hit by Emran Ekincioğlu. After some fancy dribbling in the 65th minute, Faik Özkutal managed to get in a good position for a shot. Antalya's supporters rose to their feet, but Faik Özkutal was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Fethi Hazlan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 76 minutes into the match, Genç Fener's goal looked a bit too open when Faik Özkutal came free, but Fethi Hazlan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 78th minute, Genç Fener's Samim Açıker ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Tayyip Ülkü.
