Spectators: 6654 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1654, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Abdulmelik Özoğuz made the kick off which started today's match. Başaran Gazzal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Abdülhak Zekai, who was totally free with the ball in the 10th minute. In the 14th minute Abdülhak Zekai shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Başaran Gazzal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Kütahya getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Emran Taşdan hit a great ball. After having played for 19 minutes, Abdülhak Zekai managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kagithane JK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Abdülhak Zekai was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ahmet Çağrı Benlioğlu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Taner Yunus tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Ahmet Çağrı Benlioğlu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Hasret Torkal 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. Abdülhak Zekai received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 37th minute. Başaran Gazzal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Abdulmelik Özoğuz recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 39th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Akil Ruknettin lost his temper 41 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In a very dangerous position, a player in Kütahya fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 41st minute. Penalty! Başaran Gazzal went to the wrong direction when Ahmet Efe Demren was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ahmet Çağrı Benlioğlu to make the kick off. In the 53rd minute, Erbatur Baykal hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Kütahya's zone, Abdulmelik Özoğuz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Başaran Gazzal came out of the goal and Abdulmelik Özoğuz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 55th minute, Mustafa Numan Akbel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The supporters of Kütahya booed when Kagithane JK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Utkan Saip didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 63rd minute Ahmet Çağrı Benlioğlu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Taner Yunus saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Abdülhak Zekai fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Başaran Gazzal having to interfere. Abdulmelik Özoğuz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. Başaran Gazzal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Kütahya's Başaran Gazzal played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Abdulmelik Özoğuz in the 70th minute of play. Başaran Gazzal made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Abdulmelik Özoğuz in the 72nd minute of play. If Abdülhak Zekai had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Abdulmelik Özoğuz in the 75th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Başaran Gazzal saved Kütahya from getting behind. Nurettin Mirkelam's late challenge caught a Kagithane JK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Nurettin Mirkelam helped the player get up and apologised. In the 76th minute, Nurettin Mirkelam hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Abdülhak Zekai kicked well hit freekick during the 77th minute of the match. 83 minutes into the match, Kagithane JK's Abdulmelik Özoğuz sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Başaran Gazzal narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Nurettin Mirkelam had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 87th minute Ahmet Çağrı Benlioğlu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Taner Yunus saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Abdülhak Zekai struck a weak shot in the 92nd minute. Başaran Gazzal didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kagithane JK. Jeers came from both ends of the stadium when the final whistle went. Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
