Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Cemil Denizhan started the match with the kick off. In a very dangerous position, a player in Kadinhani SK fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 3rd minute. Penalty! Melih Nazir was out of position in the 8 minute of play, and Habib Mengüalp capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Habib Mengüalp really showed his touch with that goal: 2-0.
