Spectators: 7476 (Terracing: 5608, Seating: 1719, VIP seats: 149) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when İbrahim Ethem İlteber took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 2 played minutes Real Cruzeiro FC got a freekick which was hit by Washington Alagoano. In the 4th minute, Luís Guilherme Cabral ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Nurtekin Özguc was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1.

After 13 minutes of play, Real Cruzeiro FC's Gonçalo Sarmento made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Nurtekin Özguc was left in no man's land by his defense there! When Júnior Salles came up free with the goalie in the 16th minute, the Real Cruzeiro FC 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 Júnior Salles couldn't finish the play. With a little luck, Real Cruzeiro FC's Ivo Amaral got control of the ball when İbrahim Ethem İlteber tried to sneak it across the goal line. 25 minutes into the match, ÜSTEĞMEN FK's goal looked a bit too open when Gonçalo Sarmento came free, but Nurtekin Özguc reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Nurtekin Özguc came out of the goal in the 33rd minute to try and stop a shot by Real Cruzeiro FC's Gonçalo Sarmento. But to his dismay, Gonçalo Sarmento quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-4. Luís Guilherme Cabral sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
