The match started with a high attacking pattern from both teams, and Konyaspor managed to take precedence with a goal that came in the 37th minute from a quick counter-attack that Soner Dijkman ended with a pass to Kosovar Zimmer Babatki, who confidently confronted the goalkeeper and shoved the ball into the goal.
The hosts pressed hard with the start of the second half, and the Norwegian Fredrik Gulbrandsen managed to score a goal with which he adjusted the result in the 49th minute, investing a perfect cross that his colleague Omar Ali Shahiniz sent him around with the sole of his foot into the net.
