Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Yiğit Mertel kicked off to start the match. After a defensive mix-up in Esentepe's zone, Andaç Yamanöz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bahtiyar Balım came out of the goal and Andaç Yamanöz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the match had gone on for 9 minutes, Yiğit Mertel put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Bahtiyar Balım. Bahtiyar Balım took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Müslüm Birsan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Sacit Şahbender struck a weak shot in the 15th minute.
