Spectators: 159 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ahmet Ömür Akkın started the match with the kick off. Celal Murathan took the ball and in the 8 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Zülfikar Kumukbay. Zülfikar Kumukbay dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0.

After having played for 40 minutes, Batuğ Keykubad managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Mert Sehhar scored 1-2 in the 42nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Hayri İlksen, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. With an all-out effort, Samsunspor's Zülfikar Kumukbay threw himself towards the right post 46 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Ahmet Ömür Akkın, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Cemal Erdurmus could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 47th minute of the match, but Zülfikar Kumukbay made a huge save.

But to his dismay, Uchechukwu Uche quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-3. The attack was good, but when Batuğ Keykubad in the 71st minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Uchechukwu Uche struck a weak shot in the 75th minute. Hayri İlksen didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for The Last Airbender.
