Spectators: 7703 (Terracing: 5779, Seating: 1771, VIP seats: 153) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Edinho Bueno made the kick off which started today's match. 6 minutes into the game, Mehmet Halis Şahan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. HİSAR's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Stowe City the free kick. In the 6th minute, Mehmet Halis Şahan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After recieving a nice pass, Stowe City's Reginald Fisher tried to score from far away in the 7th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Doğa Tamerkin hit a great freekick 12 minutes into the match. After 13 played minutes, Stowe City's Reginald Fisher shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Alparslan Saygılı 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 Stowe City reached it. Alparslan Saygılı made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Reginald Fisher in the 21st minute of play. Alparslan Saygılı didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Cameron Cardona went, in the 23rd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Edinho Bueno's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Alparslan Saygılı read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 30th minute of play. A well-hit corner resulted in Nolan Hollis heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. Alparslan Saygılı made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Edinho Bueno in the 33rd minute of play. Cameron Cardona sent away a hard shot on goal in the 40th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Edinho Bueno's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Alparslan Saygılı read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 45th minute of play.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Menderes Balısoy to make the kick off. Doğuhan Miran's late challenge caught a Stowe City's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Doğuhan Miran helped the player get up and apologised. Doğuhan Miran hit a great freekick 51 minutes into the match. Cameron Cardona hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. 59 minutes into the match, Stowe City's goal looked a bit too open when Menderes Balısoy came free, but Willie Cabrera reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 71st minute, Cameron Cardona managed to get in a good position for a shot. Stowe City's supporters rose to their feet, but Cameron Cardona was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Alparslan Saygılı breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After some careless play in the HİSAR defense, Edinho Bueno kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Alparslan Saygılı. The HİSAR fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Alparslan Saygılı should have stopped the shot. A collision led to Stowe City getting a freekick after 81 minutes play. Weston Laird hit a great ball. Stowe City played a much better game than HİSAR and deserved their victory. The HİSAR players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
