Genclerbirligi got their second win as they went onto the pitch for the third time with their new coach, Oguz Cetin, former manager of champions Fenerbahce. On the other side, Ramadan did not play once more as Istanbulspor fell in the pot of relegation.

First Half:

Only in the fourth minute of the game, Skoko directed the corner kick from the left into the area but Youla hit the post in an easy position.

Istanbul's Ahmet Dursun had only the goalie to beat after he met with play-maker Yordanov's pass, but Omer got control of the ball in two attempts in the twentieth minute.

It was the thirty-second minute when Youla declared Genclerbirligi's lead on the game. Filip kicked the corner into the area from the right and the unmarked 22-year old Youla headed the ball in style and found the net: 1-0.

A minute later, Ugur dribbled past the defenders into the area after Youla's clever pass but he saw his shot go narrowly near the post.

The hosts had several chances but could only produce one out of lots and the first half ended 1-0.

Second Half:

In the fifty-eighth minute, on the counter-attack Youla dribbled past the keeper and took his shot at the keeperless goal but Aytekin cleared the ball on the goal line.

Only three minute later, Oguz made a long kick to the opponent's half and Ahmet Dursun got the ball. Ahmet Dursun dribbled well as he past Baki and got a shot. Ahmet's shot passed the goalkeeper but skimmed near the post.

Only eight minute before the final whistle, Gencler's Mehmet Nas crossed the ball from the corner of the area and the ball hit Yalcin, which confused Oguz who only just managed to clear the ball.

In the minute 88, Youla and Bolic passed mutually and Bolic chested the ball before he took a terrible shot.
