Spectators: 7756 (Terracing: 5819, Seating: 1783, VIP seats: 154) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Nazmi Rasi made the kick off which started today's match. In the 6th match minute, 11 Aѕℓαη ƒC™ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Aykutalp Suhan to maneuver through the defense. Aykutalp Suhan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Sverker Mellbad tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sverker Mellbad took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nazmi Rasi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 16thth minute of the game Aykutalp Suhan who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Here Comes the Hammer's Sverker Mellbad was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Sverker Mellbad came out of the goal in the 20th minute to try and stop a shot by 11 Aѕℓαη ƒC™'s Aykutalp Suhan. But to his dismay, Aykutalp Suhan quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. 24 minutes into the match, Here Comes the Hammer's goal looked a bit too open when Enis Behiç Şölen came free, but Sverker Mellbad reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 25th minute, Leo Norström hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Fritz Vedholm hit a great freekick 26 minutes into the match. After 27 played minutes, 11 Aѕℓαη ƒC™'s Enis Behiç Şölen shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Sverker Mellbad came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in 11 Aѕℓαη ƒC™ reached it. The supporters of 11 Aѕℓαη ƒC™ booed when Here Comes the Hammer was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 28 match minutes in a wonderful position. Marcus Nyqvist didn't get a good kick on the ball. Savaş Ersalmış charged in rather forcefully in the 32nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Savaş Ersalmış the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Afşin Başkara was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 33rd minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Michel Vase. After 35 minutes of play, 11 Aѕℓαη ƒC™'s Nazmi Rasi made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Sverker Mellbad was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, 11 Aѕℓαη ƒC™'s Kutlualp Oyanalp got a free kick in the 39th minute. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Joseph Cane to make the kick off. In the 53rd minute, Ted Kihlman hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Sverker Mellbad was out of position in the 61 minute of play, and Nazmi Rasi capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Nazmi Rasi really showed his touch with that goal: 0-3. Sverker Mellbad took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nazmi Rasi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Nazmi Rasi managed to get in a good position for a shot. 11 Aѕℓαη ƒC™'s supporters rose to their feet, but Nazmi Rasi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sverker Mellbad breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Ali Macit Davarcı blasted a shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Sverker Mellbad having to make a save. 79 minutes into the game, Nazmi Rasi recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Sverker Mellbad. Nazmi Rasi showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 0-4. 82 minutes into the match, Aykutalp Suhan dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Sverker Mellbad, 0-5. Sverker Mellbad made a fantastic save in the 90th minute, when Nazmi Rasi sent off a good shot on target. The crowd rose to their feet as Enis Behiç Şölen kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Sverker Mellbad. That made the score 0-6 in the 95 minute of play.
