Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Kulp's Codrin Dobrea started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. When the match had gone on for 11 minutes, Bogdan Bogdanović put it in 1-0 from a short distance just to the right of Besim Orgen. Ernesto Alfonso sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 27th minute Bogdan Bogdanović shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Besim Orgen saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 27 minutes into the game, Cássio Dracena was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Club 23's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Kulp the free kick. The supporters of Kulp booed when Club 23 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 28 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cássio Dracena didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 33rd minute, Ernesto Alfonso managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kulp's supporters rose to their feet, but Ernesto Alfonso was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sören Malmberg breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Volodya Kirov kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. 37 minutes into the match, Alpertunga Tekke notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Club 23's Sören Malmberg. Sören Malmberg was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Besim Orgen had great luck who in the 44thth minute grab hold of the ball when Bogdan Bogdanović from a short distance tried to put the ball inside the right post. Dacian Săraru kicked well hit freekick during the 46th minute of the match. When the match had been going on for 47 minutes Baysal Temizsoy shot a great shot from long distance. It looked like a certain goal, but the audience witnessed a really smashing save by Sören Malmberg when he caught the ball only just under the crossbar. The Club 23 players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Kulp were winning 1-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Bogdan Bogdanović to make the kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Kulp's goal looked a bit too open when Cássio Dracena came free, but Besim Orgen reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Club 23's Sören Malmberg played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ernesto Alfonso in the 56th minute of play. In the 60th minute, Kulp's Codrin Dobrea ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Sören Malmberg. Sören Malmberg yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-3. Kulp's Radomil Soliwoda was substituted for Ricardo Quaresma. Sören Malmberg made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Codrin Dobrea in the 65th minute of play. Cássio Dracena struck a weak shot in the 66th minute. Besim Orgen didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Club 23. Codrin Dobrea had several of the Club 23's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 72 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-4 score and a disappointed Sören Malmberg as he didn't even see the shot coming. Besim Orgen came out of the goal in the 78th minute to try and stop a shot by Club 23's Cássio Dracena. But to his dismay, Cássio Dracena quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-4. In the 81st minute, Cássio Dracena got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Besim Orgen took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bogdan Bogdanović, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Codrin Dobrea came up free with the goalie in the 92nd minute, the Kulp 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 Codrin Dobrea couldn't finish the play. In the 93rd minute, Radomil Soliwoda hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Kulp's Besim Orgen played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bogdan Bogdanović in the 95th minute of play. Kulp played a much better game than Club 23 and deserved their victory. The Club 23 players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
