Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ali Kürşat Tanırer took the kick off in the first half of the match. Seyfi Vuralhan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Ali Kürşat Tanırer came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the Dragons f.c. 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 Ali Kürşat Tanırer couldn't finish the play. After having played for 8 minutes, Necip Ilıca managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Celikhan's supporters crossed their fingers, but Necip Ilıca was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 15th minute, Suphi Yeler hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Sezgin Atabek had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ahmet Refik Talip succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-1 in the 23rd playminute. In the 33rd minute Sezgin Atabek shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Baturalp Sağlamer saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ali Kürşat Tanırer sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 44 minutes into the match, Dragons f.c.'s goalkeeper Yaser Saygın had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ahmet Refik Talip. If Ali Kürşat Tanırer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Necip Ilıca to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 52nd minute Necip Ilıca shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yaser Saygın saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 58 minutes into the match, Sezgin Atabek had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Baturalp Sağlamer. Celikhan's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Sezgin Atabek was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. Necip Ilıca fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yaser Saygın having to interfere. Hazar Bircan charged in rather forcefully in the 69th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Hazar Bircan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 69 played minutes Celikhan got a freekick which was hit by Hazar Bircan. Yaser Saygın showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Necip Ilıca in the 74th minute of the match. Yaser Saygın came out of the goal in the 77th minute to try and stop a shot by Celikhan's Ahmet Refik Talip. But to his dismay, Ahmet Refik Talip quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-2. Yaser Saygın made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ahmet Refik Talip in the 81st minute of play. Sezgin Atabek in the 83rdth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Baturalp Sağlamer, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Ahmet Refik Talip in the 97th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Yaser Saygın prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
