Spectators: 7134 (Terracing: 5384, Seating: 1650, VIP seats: 100) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Taci Durak took the kick off in the first half of the match. Andaç Özpinar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Akcaabat's Robert Pires played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Andaç Özpinar in the 10th minute of play. Serhat Oktan struck a weak shot in the 15th minute. Tanju Karacabey didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Akcaabat. In the 18th minute the ball was on its way in behind Akcaabat's goalkeeper Robert Pires, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Andaç Özpinar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Tanju Karacabey showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Taci Durak, who was totally free with the ball in the 30th minute. 34 minutes into the match, Bucaspor's Andaç Özpinar sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Robert Pires narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Robert Pires showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Batu Bican in the 45th minute of the match. Taci Durak sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Batu Bican to make the kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Bucaspor's goal looked a bit too open when Serhat Oktan came free, but Tanju Karacabey reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The supporters of Akcaabat booed when Bucaspor was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 55 match minutes in a wonderful position. Genco Türköz didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 56th minute of the match İsmail Cam shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Tanju Karacabey showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. If Serhat Oktan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After some careless play in the Bucaspor defense, Serhat Oktan kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Tanju Karacabey. The Bucaspor fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Tanju Karacabey should have stopped the shot. 71 minutes into the game, Korkutalp Parsbay was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

After having played for 73 minutes, Andaç Özpinar managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Ragıp Çelenk's late challenge caught a Akcaabat's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ragıp Çelenk helped the player get up and apologised. Ragıp Çelenk kicked well hit freekick during the 89th minute of the match. Batu Bican was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 92nd minute.
