Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when İlker Özçelik took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a rather tough play, SoLoTüRK's Çağdaş Oyanalp got a free kick in the 3rd minute. In the 5th minute Karadeniz Davutoğlu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tolga Namdar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Haluk İltekin hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. When the match had gone on for 8 minutes, Karadeniz Davutoğlu put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Tolga Namdar. After 15 minutes of play, KOCAELİSPOR's Karadeniz Davutoğlu made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Tolga Namdar was left in no man's land by his defense there! After 22 played minutes KOCAELİSPOR got a freekick which was hit by Nafiz Yaltıray. Karadeniz Davutoğlu recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 25th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 29 minutes, Gökhan Akbaşak mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the KOCAELİSPOR and the SoLoTüRK players grew even worse after the yellow card. Gökhan Akbaşak hit a great freekick 29 minutes into the match. 35 minutes into the match, Anıl Arda Buğra had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Tolga Namdar. SoLoTüRK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Anıl Arda Buğra was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

After 57 minutes of play, KOCAELİSPOR's Karadeniz Davutoğlu made it 0-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Tolga Namdar was left in no man's land by his defense there! KOCAELİSPOR's Edin Džeko was substituted for Karadeniz Davutoğlu. Atalan Çetinsoy showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Haluk İltekin, who was totally free with the ball in the 66th minute. The audience was convinced that Edin Džeko's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tolga Namdar was relentless in the 69th minute of the game. After 71 played minutes SoLoTüRK got a freekick which was hit by Çağdaş Oyanalp. After 74 minutes, Ersan Saim mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the SoLoTüRK and the KOCAELİSPOR players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of KOCAELİSPOR booed when SoLoTüRK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 74 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ersan Saim didn't get a good kick on the ball. KOCAELİSPOR's Acun Elçi shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 75th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Tolga Namdar but with some difficulty. Nafiz Yaltıray charged in rather forcefully in the 87th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Nafiz Yaltıray the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to KOCAELİSPOR getting a freekick after 88 minutes play. Nafiz Yaltıray hit a great ball. KOCAELİSPOR's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
