When Fetih Habiboğlu came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Zeytinburnu 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 Fetih Habiboğlu couldn't finish the play. Önder Rekin scored 0-1 in the 11th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Seyfullah Vargın, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Ali Orhan Işıner received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Seyfullah Vargın tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Önder Rekin to make the kick off.

The corner went over the outstretched arms of Kücükyali's goalie and right to Fetih Habiboğlu. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Kücükyali's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. Mehmet Akif Hıfzullah struck a weak shot in the 63rd minute. Berat Sıraç didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Zeytinburnu. After some fancy dribbling in the 69th minute, Fetih Habiboğlu managed to get in a good position for a shot.
