After a rather tough play, TM KIRIKKALESPOR's Hüseyin Necmi got a free kick in the 11th minute. Aşkın Adıbelli recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 16th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal.

A wasted opportunity for Eyüp. 35 minutes into the game, Aşkın Adıbelli recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Ruhi Serdar.

Aşkın Adıbelli's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ruhi Serdar read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 62nd minute of play. When İdris Özmen was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 63 minutes had been played. The audience thought a goal was coming when Berkant Dalan got free with Abdi Özen in the 65th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Barlas Hekimbaşı fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 68th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ruhi Serdar having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in TM KIRIKKALESPOR's zone, Şehzade Alpsoy stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ruhi Serdar came out of the goal and Şehzade Alpsoy tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After having played for 71 minutes, Karadeniz Mirac managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Şehzade Alpsoy sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

If Şehzade Alpsoy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Eyüp had played much better football throughout.
