Spectators: 8161 (Terracing: 6122, Seating: 1877, VIP seats: 162) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Tilemachos Ifantidis got the match started through his kick off. Buğrahan Uman hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. Agustín Rodríguez, 3 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. In the 8th minute Simon Gonzalez shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Doğukan Artan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Swift GTi FDC's 程浩卫 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ünsal Tezcan in the 9th minute of play. Ezber Bozan FK were awarded a corner in the 10th minute after Swift GTi FDC's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Buğrahan Uman took the corner. Bruno Goiano was in a good position and managed to take a shot, but he missed just to the outside of the post. When Simon Gonzalez came up free with the goalie in the 13th minute, the Swift GTi FDC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Simon Gonzalez couldn't finish the play. With an all-out effort, Swift GTi FDC's Doğukan Artan threw himself towards the right post 14 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Simon Gonzalez, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. 程浩卫 showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Joachim Österlund, who was totally free with the ball in the 24th minute. Simon Gonzalez blasted a shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Doğukan Artan having to make a save. Simon Gonzalez scored 1-0 in the 31st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Doğukan Artan, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 38 minutes into the match, Swift GTi FDC's goal looked a bit too open when Ünsal Tezcan came free, but 程浩卫 reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 47th minute, Gwidon Czajka hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Buğrahan Uman struck a weak shot in the 48th minute. 程浩卫 didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ezber Bozan FK.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Joachim Österlund was the one to do the kick off. Ezber Bozan FK made a substitution. Ünal Çelikkan replaced Yin Ling Jian. Swift GTi FDC's attentive Gwidon Czajka managed to snatch the ball when Aldebaran Tauro made a throw-in in the 61st minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Baturay İlter in the 63rd minute of play forced Swift GTi FDC's goalkeeper 程浩卫 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 程浩卫 took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Baturay İlter, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Doğukan Artan showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tilemachos Ifantidis, who was totally free with the ball in the 67th minute. İstemihan Akcebe could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 72nd minute of the match, but 程浩卫 made a huge save. In the 72nd minute of the match, İstemihan Akcebe got a very nice opportunity to score, but 程浩卫 was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Recai Hekimbaşı was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 76 minutes into the match. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored 2-1 in the 78th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Doğukan Artan, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. With a little luck, Swift GTi FDC's 程浩卫 got control of the ball when Bektaş Ali Koçaş tried to sneak it across the goal line. Simon Gonzalez sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 92 minutes into the game, İstemihan Akcebe recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of 程浩卫. İstemihan Akcebe showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-2. After a rather tough play, Swift GTi FDC's Simon Gonzalez got a free kick in the 97th minute. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
