Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Müfit Özyay kicked off to start the match. Ahmet Kutsi İklim struck a weak shot in the 5th minute. Güray İhsan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sincan. After a rather tough play, Elephants Fc's Alkın Bayraktar got a free kick in the 6th minute. Yakup Kadri Olgaç fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Güray İhsan having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Elephants Fc's zone, Ahmet Kutsi İklim stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Güray İhsan came out of the goal and Ahmet Kutsi İklim tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. With an all-out effort, Sincan's Güray İhsan threw himself towards the right post 16 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Ahmet Kutsi İklim, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Saruhan Tandoğdu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Müfit Özyay, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

When Ahmet Kutsi İklim came up free with the goalie in the 28th minute, the Sincan fans jumped to their feet.

A collision led to Elephants Fc getting a freekick after 29 minutes play. Akil Öğeturk hit a great ball. Ekrem Yanar did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 1-0 to the left of a surprised Güray İhsan 30 minutes into the match. After 34 played minutes Elephants Fc got a freekick which was hit by Vural Kılıçaslan. In the 35th minute, Arif Gaffar Enginalp sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Elephants Fc's Güray İhsan didn't even have to move. Ahmet Kutsi İklim sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ekrem Yanar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Güray İhsan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Alkın Bayraktar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Sincan getting a freekick after 45 minutes play. Yakup Kadri Olgaç hit a great ball. Birkan İmamoğlu's shot from long distance was a real pearl which went to the right and just passed Saruhan Tandoğdu - 1-1 was put on the score board in the 46th minute.

Güray İhsan was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The Sincan fans' excitement grew in the 73rd match minute when Sincan's Ekrem Yanar 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 3-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Alkın Bayraktar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 76th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 79 played minutes, Sincan's Gürkan Tanberk shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Güray İhsan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Sincan reached it. In the 81st minute Müfit Özyay shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Saruhan Tandoğdu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 91 minutes into the game, Ekrem Yanar cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 5-1. Güray İhsan was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. If Ahmet Kutsi İklim had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Sincan had played much better football throughout.
