Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) 6 minutes into the match, Arif Bilge Kumanbay had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rüknettin Demirbaş. Kültepe Spor Kulübü's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Arif Bilge Kumanbay was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. 8 minutes into the match, Arif Bilge Kumanbay notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Kültepe Spor Kulübü's Rüknettin Demirbaş. Rüknettin Demirbaş was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Alp Gence hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. After 14 played minutes, Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s Güner Kabadayı shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Rüknettin Demirbaş 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 Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤ reached it. In the 18th minute, Kadri Balkar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s zone, Doğa Ustam stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Metin Aktaş came out of the goal and Doğa Ustam tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Arif Bilge Kumanbay recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 23rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ruhi Sulasi's late challenge caught a Kültepe Spor Kulübü's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ruhi Sulasi helped the player get up and apologised. Ruhi Sulasi hit a great freekick 31 minutes into the match. Bora Bülbül scored 2-2 in the 33rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Metin Aktaş, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Rüknettin Demirbaş took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ataman Uraza, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A collision led to Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤ getting a freekick after 40 minutes play. Ataman Uraza hit a great ball. If Ataman Uraza had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The score stood at 2-2 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ataman Uraza to make the kick off. A collision led to Kültepe Spor Kulübü getting a freekick after 50 minutes play. Çağlar Ulağ hit a great ball. Alp Gence's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Metin Aktaş read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 53rd minute of play. After 60 minutes of play, Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s Ataman Uraza made it 2-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rüknettin Demirbaş was left in no man's land by his defense there! Ruhi Sulasi hit a great freekick 63 minutes into the match. The supporters of Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤ booed when Kültepe Spor Kulübü was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 65 match minutes in a wonderful position. Çağlar Ulağ didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a little luck, Kültepe Spor Kulübü's Rüknettin Demirbaş got control of the ball when Ataman Uraza tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 67 played minutes Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤ got a freekick which was hit by Ruhi Sulasi. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cevat Mansur in the 69th minute of play forced Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s goalkeeper Metin Aktaş to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The crowd rose to their feet as Arif Bilge Kumanbay kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Rüknettin Demirbaş. That made the score 2-4 in the 72 minute of play. Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s Şenel İlker was substituted for Necdet Koçyiğit. Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s Cihan Çanak managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Gürkan Bahadıroğlu in the 83 minute of the game. In the 85th minute, Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s Arif Bilge Kumanbay dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-5. The throw-in from Gürkan Bahadıroğlu in the 94th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s Kadri Balkar. Although Kültepe Spor Kulübü had been in control for most of the match, Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤ still came away with the win.
