Spectators: 166 (Terracing: 125, Seating: 38, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ahmet Ali Genişyürek kicked off to start the match. With a little luck, City Friseur Wuppertal's İrfan Barlas got control of the ball when Ahmet Ali Genişyürek tried to sneak it across the goal line. 10 minutes into the game, Haldun Özberk was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. City Friseur Wuppertal's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave B⚽st⚽n Celtics-Palestine the free kick. Haldun Özberk kicked well hit freekick during the 10th minute of the match. The supporters of B⚽st⚽n Celtics-Palestine booed when City Friseur Wuppertal was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position.

In the 17th minute Sait Bayrak shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but İrfan Barlas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in B⚽st⚽n Celtics-Palestine's zone, Haldun Özberk stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Peker Baycan came out of the goal and Haldun Özberk tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience was convinced that Nurtekin Merdan's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but İrfan Barlas was relentless in the 27th minute of the game. 30 minutes into the match, City Friseur Wuppertal's goal looked a bit too open when Birsel Altınpınar came free, but İrfan Barlas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In the 33rd minute Nurtekin Merdan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but İrfan Barlas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Ahmet Ali Genişyürek had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Peker Baycan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tuna Selim, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. İrfan Barlas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nurtekin Merdan in the 42nd minute of play. After having played for 43 minutes, Ahmet Ali Genişyürek managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

City Friseur Wuppertal's Haldun Özberk got his second yellow card of the match in the 46th minute. The referee ordered Haldun Özberk off the ground.

Nurtekin Merdan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without İrfan Barlas having to interfere. When Güntekin İlksen fell near the penalty area in the 77th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored City Friseur Wuppertal's protests and gave Güntekin İlksen a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to City Friseur Wuppertal getting a freekick after 77 minutes play. Güntekin İlksen hit a great ball.

The B⚽st⚽n Celtics-Palestine fans cheered their team off the field, for while City Friseur Wuppertal had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
