Sérgio António de Luiz Junior doubled the lead in the first minute of first half stoppage time from Igor Lichnovsky's set-piece assist. Kanarya dominated possession but registered only three shots on target from 16 attempts despite 68.2% of the ball and 14 corners.

Three Things We Learned: Set pieces decided the contest, with both Karagümrük goals originating from corners.
