A collision led to ЧΙ ƝƖ̇ƘƠMЄƊƖ̇ƛ ƑƘ getting a freekick after 19 minutes play. Ismail Yüksel hit a great ball.

ЧΙ ƝƖ̇ƘƠMЄƊƖ̇ƛ ƑƘ's Erenay Tüzeman shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 28th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Lenílson Quintal but with some difficulty. The BRASIL.Sp fans' excitement grew in the 32nd match minute when BRASIL.Sp's Alexsandro de Sousa looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Tuncay Şanlı could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 35th minute of the match, but Lenílson Quintal made a huge save.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Alexsandro de Sousa stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.
