Spectators: 7288 (Terracing: 5468, Seating: 1676, VIP seats: 144) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Kılıçalp Talik to make the kick off.

Fatihin Tuğrası fully deserved thier win.
