Spectators: 7549 (Terracing: 5663, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 150) Boris Nenkov made the kick off and thus started the match. In the 3rd minute, Christer Bivall left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The No Gravity FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Stig Browall lost his temper 8 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. Agustín Brei had in the 9thth minute some difficulties stopping Alpertunga Cevar's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. No Gravity FC's Christer Bivall got a good chance for a goal in the 11th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. No Gravity FC's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Erhan Esenboğa 15 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-1. After 22 played minutes No Gravity FC got a freekick which was hit by Dan Engström. In the 23rd minute Kubilay Sefik shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Agustín Brei saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Erik Ström charged in rather forcefully in the 25th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Erik Ström the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of BEŞİKTAŞK booed when No Gravity FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Erik Ström didn't get a good kick on the ball. Tolgahan Karay stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Christer Bivall's shot from short distance in the 30th minute. Christer Bivall might have been able to make a better finish in the 34th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tolgahan Karay. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Christer Bivall ran back to his position shaking his head. 34 minutes into the match, BEŞİKTAŞK's goal looked a bit too open when Christer Bivall came free, but Tolgahan Karay reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Christer Bivall had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 37th minute, Erik Ström managed to get in a good position for a shot. No Gravity FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Erik Ström was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tolgahan Karay breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 39th minute, Christer Bivall left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The No Gravity FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-3. Christer Bivall struck a weak shot in the 42nd minute. Tolgahan Karay didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for No Gravity FC. Christer Bivall took the ball and in the 46 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Tolgahan Karay. Tolgahan Karay dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-4. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-4 lead.

The wind increased when Bulut İrgun made the kick off in the second half. Necip Fazıl Onat hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match. Erhan Esenboğa scored 2-4 in the 60th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Agustín Brei, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Agustín Brei showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bulut İrgun, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. Bulut İrgun received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. Agustín Brei tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jupp Buhrmann struck a weak shot in the 80th minute. Tolgahan Karay didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for No Gravity FC. Jupp Buhrmann might have been able to make a better finish in the 83rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Tolgahan Karay. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Jupp Buhrmann ran back to his position shaking his head. Jupp Buhrmann blasted a shot towards the goal in the 85th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Tolgahan Karay having to make a save. BEŞİKTAŞK's Tolgahan Karay played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Jupp Buhrmann in the 95th minute of play. No Gravity FC's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
