Spectators: 7468 (Terracing: 5602, Seating: 1717, VIP seats: 149) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Meriç Selil kicked off to start the match. Kaptan Daman's late challenge caught a Lions Undefeated F.C.'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Kaptan Daman helped the player get up and apologised. In the 4th minute, Kaptan Daman hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Zaid Özkan charged in rather forcefully in the 9th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Zaid Özkan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Zaid Özkan hit a great freekick 9 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 17th minute, Zaid Özkan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Eflani's supporters rose to their feet, but Zaid Özkan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Aycan Özbekkan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 23rd minute, Meriç Selil hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Doğa Aynacıoğlu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. İbrahim Efe Namal hit a great freekick 36 minutes into the match. Eflani's Ahmet Refik Uysal couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 37th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Lions Undefeated F.C.. Meriç Selil received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Taha Giryar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Lions Undefeated F.C.'s Aycan Özbekkan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zaid Özkan in the 41st minute of play. Meriç Selil received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Taha Giryar came out and tried to block the shot, but Meriç Selil slotted it home off the left post making it 1-0 in the 46th minute. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The wind increased when Doğa Aynacıoğlu made the kick off in the second half. After 58 minutes, Doğa Aynacıoğlu mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Eflani and the Lions Undefeated F.C. players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 58th match minute, Eflani was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Doğa Aynacıoğlu to maneuver through the defense. In the 60th minute Meriç Selil shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Taha Giryar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Battal Cüneyt Ortaç recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 74th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 80 minutes into the match, Lions Undefeated F.C.'s Kürşat Eğriöz sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Taha Giryar narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Lions Undefeated F.C.'s Aycan Özbekkan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Doğa Aynacıoğlu in the 84th minute of play. After 91 played minutes Eflani got a freekick which was hit by Mehmet Ferit Erdemir. Taha Giryar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Doğaner Kutlualp, who was totally free with the ball in the 92nd minute.
