Caner Güler sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 7th minute of the match Behçet Taş shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Zeki Ilgın showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. If Hızır Şahinalp had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

Gökmen Kutlucan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Halim Yurday in the 33rd minute of the match. When Hızır Şahinalp came up free with the goalie in the 38th minute, the KingAlperiUS fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Hızır Şahinalp couldn't finish the play. In the 42nd minute, Caner Güler left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The BATMAN fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-1. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-1 at half-time.

Devran Demirsah struck a weak shot in the 69th minute. Zeki Ilgın didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for BATMAN.
