The home side, Cayelispor, started with purpose and were rewarded with an early goal, a powerful header from a corner that seemed to set them on their way. Bulancak, however, weathered the storm and grew into the game, equalizing before halftime with a clever low drive from the edge of the area.

The Bulancak manager focused on his team's resilience, saying, "We showed great heart to come back and win in a difficult environment." The starting lineups featured the usual suspects for both sides, with Cayelispor opting for an attacking 4-3-3 and Bulancak setting up in a more conservative 4-4-2 formation that ultimately paid dividends.
