Spectators: 7487 (Terracing: 5616, Seating: 1722, VIP seats: 149) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Behçet Polatkılıç took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Tomás Mazza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 2nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Reynaldo de Castro hit a great freekick 9 minutes into the match. Jardim América FC's Nico Rossi managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Behzat Arslantürk in the 17 minute of the game. Luan Ramos made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Behçet Polatkılıç in the 24th minute of play. Luan Ramos showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Cemil Bayülgen, who was totally free with the ball in the 32nd minute. The crowd rose to their feet as Jardim América FC's Enio Mangueira slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of İshak Atatuğ. That made the score 1-0 after 34 minutes of play. Nico Rossi hit a great freekick 36 minutes into the match. Cemil Bayülgen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Luan Ramos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Tomás Mazza stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 52nd minute, Enio Mangueira made a precise shot to the right of İshak Atatuğ. Basmane Texas's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-0. Arif Çelebi Ilgıt's late challenge caught a Jardim América FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Arif Çelebi Ilgıt helped the player get up and apologised. Behçet Polatkılıç sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Nico Rossi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 77th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Behçet Polatkılıç managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Luan Ramos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tomás Mazza sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the referee blew the final whistle, Jardim América FC could leave the field as winners, despite Basmane Texas having more of the ball for most of the match.
