Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Güney Dokuzoğlu took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 3rd minute, Old BaoBaB Accademy's Eraldo Cacciatore seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Eraldo Cacciatore the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Old BaoBaB Accademy protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Eraldo Cacciatore had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 2nd minute, one of Old BaoBaB Accademy:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Old BaoBaB Accademy. Old BaoBaB Accademy:s Felice Bobbio showed great skill when he stopped Fevzi Oyal:s penalty. Felice Bobbio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Anıl Arda Dahi, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. Abayhan Şencan hit a great freekick 8 minutes into the match. When Özgür Egesel fell near the penalty area in the 11th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored SARI ZEYBEK's protests and gave Özgür Egesel a yellow card for diving instead. 13 minutes into the match, Old BaoBaB Accademy's goal looked a bit too open when Güney Dokuzoğlu came free, but Felice Bobbio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Felice Bobbio showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fevzi Oyal, who was totally free with the ball in the 18th minute. Felice Bobbio took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Güney Dokuzoğlu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Güney Dokuzoğlu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Ali Atıf Aktan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Dennis Di Clemente in the 23rd minute of play. After 29 minutes of play, SARI ZEYBEK's Güney Dokuzoğlu made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Felice Bobbio was left in no man's land by his defense there! The audience was convinced that Güney Dokuzoğlu's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Felice Bobbio was relentless in the 38th minute of the game. Edoardo Schirone's late challenge caught a SARI ZEYBEK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Edoardo Schirone helped the player get up and apologised. After 38 played minutes Old BaoBaB Accademy got a freekick which was hit by Edoardo Schirone. Güney Dokuzoğlu blasted a shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Felice Bobbio having to make a save. After the first half SARI ZEYBEK were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Dennis Di Clemente to make the kick off. In the 52nd minute, Güney Dokuzoğlu made a precise shot to the right of Felice Bobbio. Old BaoBaB Accademy's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-3. When Güney Dokuzoğlu came up free with the goalie in the 63rd minute, the SARI ZEYBEK 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 Güney Dokuzoğlu couldn't finish the play. In the 66th minute SARI ZEYBEK were awarded a corner. Özgür Egesel went to the cornerflag to take it. The corner led SARI ZEYBEK's Özgür Egesel to fire away a dangerous shot which Felice Bobbio despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. 74 minutes into the match, Güney Dokuzoğlu dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Felice Bobbio, 0-5. After a defensive mix-up in Old BaoBaB Accademy's zone, Batu Özdeğer stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Felice Bobbio came out of the goal and Batu Özdeğer tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. With his leg Felice Bobbio managed to avoid a goal in the 84thth minute, when SARI ZEYBEK's Güney Dokuzoğlu fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Güney Dokuzoğlu who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 87thth minute tested the skills of Felice Bobbio when he managed to save the team from getting behind. After a rather tough play, Old BaoBaB Accademy's Alfredo Moretta got a free kick in the 94th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fevzi Oyal in the 96th minute of play forced Old BaoBaB Accademy's goalkeeper Felice Bobbio to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. SARI ZEYBEK played a much better game than Old BaoBaB Accademy and deserved their victory. The Old BaoBaB Accademy players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
