In the 33rd minute the ball was on its way in behind ALASKU TSG's goalkeeper Gökçe Akil, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After having played for 37 minutes, Ercüment Özerhan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Bedri Nezir sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Serhan Olgun's late challenge caught a ALASKU TSG's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Serhan Olgun helped the player get up and apologised. After 47 played minutes FC MANLE got a freekick which was hit by Serhan Olgun. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Hakkı Devrim Geylanoğullarından to make the kick off. 55 minutes into the match, ALASKU TSG's goal looked a bit too open when Selami Denizer came free, but Gökçe Akil reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Volkan Ubeydullah came out and tried to block the shot, but Bedri Nezir slotted it home off the left post making it 0-2 in the 60th minute. The supporters of ALASKU TSG booed when FC MANLE was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 64 match minutes in a wonderful position. Yüce Tuna didn't get a good kick on the ball. Volkan Ubeydullah showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Reis Tapık, who was totally free with the ball in the 66th minute. If Ahmet Oğuz Akkaş had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 74th minute, Ahmet Oğuz Akkaş hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Hakkı Devrim Geylanoğullarından took the ball and in the 75 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gökçe Akil.
