Spectators: 7968 (Terracing: 6009, Seating: 1800, VIP seats: 159) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Hilmi Uyaralp kicked off to start the match. Mehmet Halis Mutlusoy took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Edgardo Quintun, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 12 minutes, Gunnar Nordin managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Otomasyon Gençlik F.K.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Gunnar Nordin was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Güneş Süleyman's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Hüseyin Bala read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 13th minute of play. Hüseyin Bala showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Güneş Süleyman in the 16th minute of the match. In the 19th minute Hilmi Uyaralp shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hüseyin Bala saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Güneş Süleyman in the 21st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Hüseyin Bala saved ERZİNCAN SPOR from getting behind. After 22 minutes ERZİNCAN SPOR's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Cordeal Leseduarte who took care of the corner kick. Otomasyon Gençlik F.K.'s attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Cordeal Leseduarte in the 24th minute. In the 24th match minute, Otomasyon Gençlik F.K. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hami Erginer to maneuver through the defense. The supporters of Otomasyon Gençlik F.K. booed when ERZİNCAN SPOR was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 26 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mehmet Halis Vefi didn't get a good kick on the ball. A collision led to ERZİNCAN SPOR getting a freekick after 28 minutes play. Jimeno Dalmai hit a great ball. Güneş Süleyman's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Hüseyin Bala read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 32nd minute of play. In the 36th match minute, Otomasyon Gençlik F.K. was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mehmet Besim to maneuver through the defense. 38 minutes had been played when some careless play by Otomasyon Gençlik F.K.'s defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Jimeno Dalmai was slow to take the kick. During this time ERZİNCAN SPOR's players had a chance to rest. Hüseyin Bala took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hilmi Uyaralp, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Hilmi Uyaralp had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hüseyin Bala made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hilmi Uyaralp in the 46th minute of play. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Jimeno Dalmai stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Jimeno Dalmai sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Hüseyin Bala made an important save on a dangerous shot by Güneş Süleyman in the 72nd minute. In the 73rd minute of the match Otomasyon Gençlik F.K. got a corner. ERZİNCAN SPOR's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Mehmet Emrah Sarıdoğan ran over to the corner to take the kick. Ataol Dilsafa was in a good position and managed to take a shot, but he missed just to the outside of the post. ERZİNCAN SPOR's Jimeno Dalmai was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Mehmet Halis Mutlusoy in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Otomasyon Gençlik F.K. were unable to convert their possession into goals, allowing ERZİNCAN SPOR to leave the ground with a draw.
