Spectators: 162 (Terracing: 122, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Hasan Ali Ekici kicked off to start the match. LİONS PEAK's Ahmet Koralp Yıldırım got a good chance for a goal in the 3rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a rather tough play, Otomasyon Gençlik F.K.'s Ali Faruk Akabe got a free kick in the 6th minute. In the 11th minute the ball was on its way in behind LİONS PEAK's goalkeeper Tuncay Eldem, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. A collision led to Otomasyon Gençlik F.K. getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Şentürk Güdü hit a great ball. Utku Üçok fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tuncay Eldem having to interfere. After 24 minutes, Barlas Tengizalp mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the LİONS PEAK and the Otomasyon Gençlik F.K. players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 24 played minutes LİONS PEAK got a freekick which was hit by Barlas Tengizalp. Bünyamin Ergüner hit a great freekick 30 minutes into the match. Tuncay Eldem showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Şentürk Güdü, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. If Utku Üçok had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 46th minute Barlas Tengizalp shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hadi Akdurmuş saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Barlas Tengizalp was the one to do the kick off. Barlas Tengizalp's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Hadi Akdurmuş firmly grabbed it by the left post. Erkan Cangur fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 56th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hadi Akdurmuş having to interfere. Hadi Akdurmuş made an important save on a dangerous shot by Barlas Tengizalp in the 58th minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Barlas Tengizalp got free with Hadi Akdurmuş in the 59th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When Hasan Ali Ekici came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the Otomasyon Gençlik F.K. fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Hasan Ali Ekici couldn't finish the play. 67 minutes into the match, Otomasyon Gençlik F.K.'s goal looked a bit too open when Erkan Cangur came free, but Hadi Akdurmuş reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Erkan Cangur had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 69 played minutes Otomasyon Gençlik F.K. got a freekick which was hit by Ahmet Ozan Balkoç. An unexpectedly hard shot by Erkan Cangur in the 72nd minute of play forced Otomasyon Gençlik F.K.'s goalkeeper Hadi Akdurmuş to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 75 minutes, Barlas Tengizalp made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Otomasyon Gençlik F.K.'s Hadi Akdurmuş tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Erkan Cangur recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 88th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a rather tough play, Otomasyon Gençlik F.K.'s Refik Kanver got a free kick in the 92nd minute. If Barlas Tengizalp had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. LİONS PEAK had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
