Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Berat Ubeydullah made the kick off which started today's match. 3 minutes into the game, Maltepespor FK's Taner Ülküsel nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Semavi Direm made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0. Tolga Yelmen made in the 7th minute of the game a quick throw-in and Gökalp Sönmezalp immediately put the ball in play. In the 11th minute Mahir Demir shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tarık Kiner saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Semavi Direm made a fantastic save in the 12th minute, when Taner Ülküsel sent off a good shot on target. If Dave Hardy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Eskihisar's Semavi Direm played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Özen Riva in the 17th minute of play. Mahir Demir might have been able to make a better finish in the 18th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tarık Kiner. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Mahir Demir ran back to his position shaking his head. After some fancy dribbling in the 21st minute, Faik Hatim managed to get in a good position for a shot. Eskihisar's supporters rose to their feet, but Faik Hatim was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tarık Kiner breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tarık Kiner showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Behram Şahinoğlu in the 23rd minute of the match. Taner Ülküsel succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-0 in the 24th playminute. Eskihisar's Semavi Direm proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 28th minute of the match, managed to save Eskihisar from getting a goal against them. When the match had gone on for 29 minutes, Özen Riva took a quick shot and it went in 3-0 without a chance for Semavi Direm to make any attempt to save it. Semavi Direm took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Özen Riva, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 32 played minutes Eskihisar got a freekick which was hit by Bedirhan Kuter. Gökalp Sönmezalp received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Semavi Direm tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Eskihisar's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Berat Ubeydullah 38 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 4-0. Özen Riva scored 5-0 in the 43rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Semavi Direm, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 47th minute, Faik Hatim got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.

Semavi Direm didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Özen Riva went, in the 51st minute, to the upper right corner, 6-0 was the resulting score. Through an outstanding action, after 58 minutes, Tarık Kiner successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. 59 minutes into the match, Eskihisar's goal looked a bit too open when Taner Ülküsel came free, but Semavi Direm reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 71st minute, Dave Hardy ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Tarık Kiner was frozen by the shot and now it was 6-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Taner Ülküsel in the 74th minute of play forced Eskihisar's goalkeeper Semavi Direm to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With 75 minutes on the clock, Sakut Okhan commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. 77 minutes into the match, Andaç Tuğbay notched a goal, 7-2, to the right of Eskihisar's Semavi Direm. Semavi Direm was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Andaç Tuğbay hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. With a little luck, Maltepespor FK's Tarık Kiner got control of the ball when Faik Hatim tried to sneak it across the goal line. Eskihisar's Semavi Direm played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Özen Riva in the 94th minute of play. Maltepespor FK's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
