In the 6th minute Çınar Başkurt shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kıvanç Kartal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

A hard shot 11 in the game by Çınar Başkurt from a close distance when the talented Kıvanç Kartal managed to make a qualified save. Kümbetspor FK's players were relieved. It was a well-played corner which Doğan Neşet managed to volley towards the net. Unfortunately, he didn't get a great hit on the ball and it went out into the grandstand. Suelo Montana could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 16th minute of the match, but Kıvanç Kartal made a huge save.

Kıvanç Kartal didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Palestine. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Çınar Başkurt was the one to do the kick off. Anatole Nielispach made a fantastic save in the 52nd minute, when Ertuğrul Nedret sent off a good shot on target.

Bumin Onursev made a great header on Palestine's corner, it was just that Kümbetspor FK's Kıvanç Kartal managed to reach the ball for a save. In the 77th minute, Bumin Onursev left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Palestine fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 7-0. After 82 played minutes Kümbetspor FK got a freekick which was hit by Mario Jardel. If Doğan Neşet had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
