After having played for 3 minutes, Ahmet Arif Timuroz managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. İstanbul United's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ahmet Arif Timuroz was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Mustafa Hamit Orbey was a little too slow when Tarkan Özdoa got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 6th minute. The score was now 1-0. Bahadır Uyun made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mithat Akkılıç in the 14th minute of play. After 15 minutes, Atay Balabey mouthed his way into the referee's book.

Bahadır Uyun took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Recai Kongur, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

After 32 played minutes, Istanbul Bosphorus's Bumin Akyüz shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Bahadır Uyun came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Istanbul Bosphorus reached it. Ahmet Arif Timuroz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Recai Kongur might have been able to make a better finish in the 40th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bahadır Uyun. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Recai Kongur ran back to his position shaking his head. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Bulut Sayılgan during the 48th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 48th minute, Bulut Sayılgan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Tarkan Özdoa was the one to do the kick off. If Recai Kongur had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Cemil Yıldız charged in rather forcefully in the 69th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Cemil Yıldız the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of İstanbul United booed when Istanbul Bosphorus was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 69 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cemil Yıldız didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 70 played minutes, İstanbul United's Refik Halit Candemir shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Mustafa Hamit Orbey came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in İstanbul United reached it.
