Esentepe gave a rare start to Atiıla Kar who played at right back with his older brother Atakan playing at left back. Atılla after a shaky start, settled down well and had a steady match.

Esentepe’s defence was asleep in the 20th minute as Efe’s corner to the far post was met by Hasan whose header was brilliantly tipped over the bar by the diving Can.
In the opening 30 minutes BUY settled well keeping Can alert in the Esentepe goal whereas Esentepe seemed to be relying on the long ball too much up to Muhammet and Dursun Ali.
Esentepe was down to 10 men in the 33rd minute when Muhammet was booked for not standing 10 yards away from a free kick. He continued to argue with the referee who second-carded him and he was dismissed from the field – a stupid an unnecessary dismissal.
The numbers were evened up in the 38th minute when Dursun Ali giving chase to a ball he should have had no chance with was brought down by goalkeeper Mahmut giving referee Burak no option to red card him.
