Spectators: 6000 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Çetin Filiz took the kick off in the first half of the match. Dorukhan Atılay who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 4thth minute tested the skills of Meriç Yasık when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Esat Ökkeş received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Barışcan Adar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in BURSASPOR's zone, Esat Ökkeş stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Barışcan Adar came out of the goal and Esat Ökkeş tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Dorukhan Atılay fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Meriç Yasık having to interfere. Meriç Yasık made a fantastic save in the 16th minute, when Dorukhan Atılay sent off a good shot on target. After having played for 17 minutes, Erkut Ziya managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. BURSASPOR's supporters crossed their fingers, but Erkut Ziya was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Esat Ökkeş had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Dorukhan Atılay in the 20thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Meriç Yasık, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Barışcan Adar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Çetin Filiz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Dorukhan Atılay in the 33rd play minute got the chance to kick a hard shot on goal from short distance neither the defense or Meriç Yasık kept up with the ball and suddenly the score was 1-0 when the ball slipped into goal inside the left pole. Dorukhan Atılay sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Dorukhan Atılay might have been able to make a better finish in the 39th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Meriç Yasık. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Dorukhan Atılay ran back to his position shaking his head. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dorukhan Atılay in the 39th minute of play forced Kulubey's goalkeeper Meriç Yasık to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 43 minutes into the game, Dorukhan Atılay lined in a short shot 2-0 behind a frustrated Meriç Yasık. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Dorukhan Atılay made a kick off. 54 minutes into the game, Dorukhan Atılay cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-0. Meriç Yasık was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After 59 played minutes Çetin Filiz rounded BURSASPOR's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 3-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 62nd minute, Esat Ökkeş managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kulubey's supporters rose to their feet, but Esat Ökkeş was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Barışcan Adar breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Meriç Yasık showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Bünyamin Özbay in the 73rd minute of the match. Meriç Yasık stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Dorukhan Atılay's shot from short distance in the 75th minute. Fethi Sayıl kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. In the 78th minute the ball was on its way in behind Kulubey's goalkeeper Meriç Yasık, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Dinç Belek, 88 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Çetin Filiz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Barışcan Adar having to interfere. When Arif Ozan Betim fell near the penalty area in the 92nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Kulubey's protests and gave Arif Ozan Betim a yellow card for diving instead. Esat Ökkeş hit a great freekick 95 minutes into the match. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Dorukhan Atılay in the 96th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Meriç Yasık prevented the ball from getting in the gole. BURSASPOR walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
