Yenimahalle created a good opportunity to score 12 minutes into the match when D. Grigorovas's hooked ball from the left created a scuffle in front of the goal, and the visitors' defenders had a hard time clearing the ball. Thighs bulging, G. Narcisi charged past the weaker players, seemingly oblivious to the rain. Yenimahalle were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. After 18 minutes, Q. Clos came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Yenimahalle the lead. After 36 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and A. Jurcan gave the Yenimahalle supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. Players in Yenimahalle heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. Yenimahalle's K. Boerrigter increased the lead to 3 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 40 minutes. B. Fleury had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch - his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today. J. Platas sailed high above the opponents as he headed in a corner kick from G. Lantheaume after 44 minutes of play, making the score 4 - 0. By now, the players in Yenimahalle felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. Yenimahalle put themselves up 5 - 0 when K. Boerrigter broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. The teams went for the halftime break at 5 - 0.

A. Jurcan increased the lead for Yenimahalle to 6 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! The coach of Yenimahalle was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 55 minutes, P. Hillebrand came on for A. Semenikhin. It was obvious that Yenimahalle had instructions to attack on the wings instead of in the middle. A great save by keeper M. Kiri after 71 minutes kept the visitors in the game after G. Lantheaume struck from the left with a real cannonball. Yenimahalle's J. Platas left the field after 80 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was L. Salcan. Yenimahalle's G. Lantheaume struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 7 - 0 after 87 minutes. Possession in this half belonged to Yenimahalle, who controlled the ball 71 percent of the time.

The most dominating Yenimahalle player was without a doubt G. Lantheaume. On the other hand, D. Grigorovas's play was disheartening. bjk66's top performer was clearly S. Vasset. B. Fleury on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 7 - 0.
