Spectators: 7476 (Terracing: 5608, Seating: 1719, VIP seats: 149) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit took the kick off in the first half of the match.

Sabahattin Birdal hit a great freekick 13 minutes into the match. In the 18th minute Isaias Tuste 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. An unexpectedly hard shot by Humberto Pedroso in the 22nd 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. In the 24th minute Cayetano Herauso 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. 29 minutes into the match, Black StarZ's goalkeeper Celestino Umea had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit. In the 30th minute Isaias Tuste 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. A collision led to Hub Yap Para kap getting a freekick after 33 minutes play. Bedirhan Birge hit a great ball. Cayetano Herauso's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Habib Akoğlu read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 34th minute of play. Özalp Altınpınar struck a weak shot in the 36th minute. Celestino Umea didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hub Yap Para kap. The supporters of Hub Yap Para kap booed when Black StarZ was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 37 match minutes in a wonderful position. Humberto Pedroso didn't get a good kick on the ball. 43 minutes into the match, Isaias Tuste notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Hub Yap Para kap's Habib Akoğlu. Habib Akoğlu was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Black StarZ's defense didn't have a chance, in the 46th minute, when Özalp Altınpınar scored to the left of an out of position Celestino Umea, making the score, 1-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Isaias Tuste stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Celestino Umea showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit, who was totally free with the ball in the 51st minute. Celestino Umea took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Özalp Altınpınar, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Celestino Umea tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 64th minute, one of Hub Yap Para kap:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Hub Yap Para kap. When the match had been going on for 65 minutes, Black StarZ's Robustiano Ferman got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Habib Akoğlu. Habib Akoğlu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Isaias Tuste in the 70th minute of the match. Bilgin Yalın hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. 75 minutes into the match, Hub Yap Para kap's goal looked a bit too open when Isaias Tuste came free, but Habib Akoğlu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Isaias Tuste hit a great freekick 78 minutes into the match. Isaias Tuste stood ready after the free kick and tried to head the ball into the goal, but got pushed from behind by one of Hub Yap Para kap's defenders and the ball went out. Black StarZ appealed in vain for a penalty, the referee looked over at the linesman, but the flag stayed down. No Penalty. If Umut Budun had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit in the 89th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Celestino Umea saved Black StarZ from getting behind. Ahmet Tolga Babayiğit sent away a hard shot on goal in the 98th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Black StarZ eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
