Spectators: 160 (Terracing: 120, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Behçet Canol made the kick off which started today's match. The supporters of Gold Raiders FC booed when Bir Garip Oyun was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zekeriya Perva didn't get a good kick on the ball. Through an outstanding action, after 7 minutes, Servet Çetiner successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. After a rather tough play, Gold Raiders FC's Faruk Ceyhan got a free kick in the 12th minute. Resul Yalın stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Behçet Canol's shot from short distance in the 14th minute. When Bir Garip Oyun's Behçet Canol in the 15th minute got a chance for a shot 15th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Gold Raiders FC's goalie prevented a goal. In the 17th minute Ahmet Hasan Tanju shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Servet Çetiner saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Servet Çetiner took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Faruk Ceyhan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With 24 minutes on the clock, Naci Tayfun commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. 25 minutes into the match, Zekeriya Perva notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Gold Raiders FC's Resul Yalın. Resul Yalın was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Faruk Ceyhan struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Servet Çetiner didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gold Raiders FC. After some fancy dribbling in the 42nd minute, Faruk Ceyhan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Gold Raiders FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Faruk Ceyhan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Servet Çetiner breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick.

The wind increased when Faruk Ceyhan made the kick off in the second half. Servet Çetiner showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ahmet Hasan Tanju, who was totally free with the ball in the 51st minute. After a defensive mix-up in Bir Garip Oyun's zone, Faruk Ceyhan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Servet Çetiner came out of the goal and Faruk Ceyhan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 55 played minutes Gold Raiders FC got a freekick which was hit by Atabek Abide. 56 minutes into the match, Bir Garip Oyun's Zekeriya Perva broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. The supporters of Bir Garip Oyun booed when Gold Raiders FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 57 match minutes in a wonderful position. Atabek Abide didn't get a good kick on the ball. Boran Cihannur charged in rather forcefully in the 65th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Boran Cihannur the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Boran Cihannur hit a great freekick 65 minutes into the match. In the 66th minute, Faruk Ceyhan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Ahmet Hasan Tanju had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Behçet Canol in the 72nd minute of play forced Gold Raiders FC's goalkeeper Resul Yalın to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Servet Çetiner made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ahmet Hasan Tanju in the 78th minute of play. Faruk Ceyhan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Servet Çetiner tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Gold Raiders FC's Resul Yalın proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 81st minute of the match, managed to save Gold Raiders FC from getting a goal against them. Enginsu Yağızkurt hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. In the 83rd minute, Abdulkadir Öğeturk hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Boran Cihannur kicked well hit freekick during the 84th minute of the match. Ahmet Hasan Tanju fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 89th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Servet Çetiner having to interfere. Gold Raiders FC were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
