Final Score 1-1

A spirited performance from Ankaragucu and 1-1 was probably a fair result over the 90 minutes, but there is no doubting the goal ruled out for offside and the sending off of Orhan changed the game. Its 2 points lost as opposed to 1 point won for Ankaragucu as relegation rivals Tavsanli won 1-0 at home to Manisaspor.
