Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Vedat Arslanoğlu kicked off to start the match. After 4 played minutes Lions Of Turks got a freekick which was hit by Poyraz Betim. Koray Ömer hit a great freekick 15 minutes into the match. Blue Mountain State were awarded a corner in the 21th minute after Lions Of Turks's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Tayyip İlksel took the corner. The corner led Blue Mountain State's Tayyip İlksel to fire away a dangerous shot which Cengiz Bozbey despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Koray Ömer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cengiz Bozbey having to interfere. In the 24th minute, Fahri Yetişen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 26th minute, Bican Özgunay hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Özer Erduran recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Blue Mountain State's Işıkalp Kalhan quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Bican Özgunay, made in the 36th minute of the game. Seyfettin Efe might have been able to make a better finish in the 36th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Cengiz Bozbey. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Seyfettin Efe ran back to his position shaking his head. Cengiz Bozbey stood somewhat misplaced when Seyfettin Efe came free in front of goal and shot 1-0 to the left of him in the 37 minute. With a little luck, Lions Of Turks's Cengiz Bozbey got control of the ball when Birsel Yalın tried to sneak it across the goal line. Birsel Yalın received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Cengiz Bozbey tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Birsel Yalın to make the kick off. Vedat Arslanoğlu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mümtaz Oba having to interfere. If Birsel Yalın had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lions Of Turks's Cengiz Bozbey played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Birsel Yalın in the 65th minute of play. Birsel Yalın recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 70th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Birsel Yalın succeeded in the game's 74th minute to shoot an unreachable shot under the crossbar and scored - 2-0. Ali Cafer Umuralp hit a great freekick 76 minutes into the match. In the 78th minute, Koray Ömer made a precise shot to the right of Cengiz Bozbey. Lions Of Turks's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-0. 82 minutes into the match, Lions Of Turks's goal looked a bit too open when Birsel Yalın came free, but Cengiz Bozbey reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 86th minute, Koray Ömer hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience thought a goal was coming when Vedat Arslanoğlu got free with Mümtaz Oba in the 87th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Seyfettin Efe kicked well hit freekick during the 87th minute of the match. Fahri Yetişen struck a weak shot in the 91st minute. Mümtaz Oba didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lions Of Turks. Many of Lions Of Turks's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Lions Of Turks may have spent more time on the ball, but Blue Mountain State were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
