After a rather tough play, ---Atam Osmanlı---'s Gökhun Okergun got a free kick in the 3rd minute. Hieronim Literski recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 3rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 7 minutes into the match, ---Atam Osmanlı---'s goal looked a bit too open when Hieronim Literski came free, but Ceyhun Mennan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Borys Sienkiewicz charged in rather forcefully in the 16th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Borys Sienkiewicz the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Borys Sienkiewicz hit a great freekick 16 minutes into the match.

With a little luck, ---Atam Osmanlı---'s Ceyhun Mennan got control of the ball when Lukas de Zwaan tried to sneak it across the goal line.
