Lineup: Buruktekin - Buluş, Gücal, Laçin, Rami - Metanet, Otak, Derbeder, Karakoç - Karamürsel, Esinay.
mutlularspor mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle.
A well placed corner kick from
F. Öndüç was followed by
R. Serdil's hard but accurate header. The well executed routine resulted in a goal for mutlularspor, the score now 1 - 0.
K. Erzade should probably have put his team up another goal after 30 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by
K. Buruktekin kept the visitors in the game.
After 31 minutes ş.urfa tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately,
Ç. Derbeder's shot sailed wide after his break down the right.
With 38 minutes played, mutlularspor's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to
R. Serdil he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 2 - 0.
At this point, it was obvious that the players of mutlularspor lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented.
Halftime score was 2 - 0.
Possession in this half belonged to mutlularspor, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

mutlularspor's
K. Erzade had an excellent opportunity after 85 minutes, shooting after receiving a pass from the right hand side, but he missed the goal by miles!

N. Karakoç could only knock the loose ball wide.
mutlularspor's
R. Serdil 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 88 minutes.
This third goal completed a hattrick for
R. Serdil.
