Spectators: 7067 (Terracing: 5250, Seating: 1673, VIP seats: 144) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Hulusi Taner took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Devlet Hamurcu came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the HükümetSpor 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 Devlet Hamurcu couldn't finish the play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hulusi Taner in the 9th minute of play forced Hatay's goalkeeper Orhan Veli Tuney to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Hatay's Erhun Taif got a free kick in the 9th minute. Sebati Sarper hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. If İsa İslam had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Erhun Taif sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mick Vogt struck a weak shot in the 23rd minute. Orhan Veli Tuney didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for HükümetSpor. 25 minutes into the game, Hampus Knutsson was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. HükümetSpor's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Hatay the free kick. Hampus Knutsson hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match.

After a rather tough play, HükümetSpor's Hampus Knutsson got a free kick in the 41st minute. After 42 played minutes, Hatay's Ergin Tanbolat shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Şemsettin Tümerkan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Hatay reached it. Orhan Veli Tuney made an important save on a dangerous shot by Mick Vogt in the 44th minute. The audience was convinced that Emin Tefhim's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Şemsettin Tümerkan was relentless in the 46th minute of the game. After having played for 48 minutes, Emin Tefhim managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Hatay's supporters crossed their fingers, but Emin Tefhim was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.
