Spectators: 7550 (Terracing: 5664, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Abel Normando kicked off to start the match. Habib Akoğlu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abel Normando in the 10th minute of the match. 13 minutes into the game, Sabahattin Birdal was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Hub Yap Para kap's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Los Del Kllejon FC the free kick. After 13 played minutes Hub Yap Para kap got a freekick which was hit by Sabahattin Birdal. With his leg Amador Laffitte managed to avoid a goal in the 15thth minute, when Hub Yap Para kap's Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Habib Akoğlu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Faustino Luar, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Yavuzalp Akıncıbey was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 18 minutes into the match. Sabahattin Birdal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 23rd minute. Amador Laffitte tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 25th minute Faustino Luar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Habib Akoğlu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tadeo Eguerdi hit a great freekick 28 minutes into the match. Habib Akoğlu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Faustino Luar, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. If Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Abel Normando in the 39th minute of play forced Hub Yap Para kap's goalkeeper Habib Akoğlu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 46 minutes into the game, Bilgin Yalın was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Hub Yap Para kap's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Los Del Kllejon FC the free kick. After 46 played minutes Hub Yap Para kap got a freekick which was hit by Bilgin Yalın. Habib Akoğlu made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Faustino Luar in the 47th minute of play. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit made a kick off. Faustino Luar could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 53rd minute of the match, but Habib Akoğlu made a huge save. In the 54th minute, Gervasio Adrio got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 61st minute, Faustino Luar made a precise shot to the right of Habib Akoğlu. Hub Yap Para kap's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-4. Faustino Luar recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 65th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The audience thought a goal was coming when Faustino Luar got free with Habib Akoğlu in the 68th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit might have been able to make a better finish in the 71st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Amador Laffitte. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit ran back to his position shaking his head. 72 minutes into the match, Hub Yap Para kap's Demiralp Arabacıoğlu sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Amador Laffitte narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Amador Laffitte made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit in the 76th minute of play. After 77 minutes Los Del Kllejon FC's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Bedirhan Birge who took care of the corner kick. It was a well-played corner which Özalp Altınpınar managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. In the 78th minute the ball was on its way in behind Los Del Kllejon FC's goalkeeper Amador Laffitte, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Gervasio Adrio's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Habib Akoğlu was relentless in the 81st minute of the game. Los Del Kllejon FC's Abel Normando got a good chance for a goal in the 84th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Amador Laffitte showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit in the 87th minute of the match. Amador Laffitte stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit's shot from short distance in the 93rd minute. Los Del Kllejon FC played a much better game than Hub Yap Para kap and deserved their victory. The Hub Yap Para kap players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
