The Turkish Super League leading Black Eagles started their game at the Taşova Sports Hall with a line-up of İbrahim Demir, Ömer Mercan, Darko Djukic, Ivan Nincevic, Josip Buljubasic, Predrag Dacevic and Nemanja Pribak. They went on to establish a comfortable 21-14 lead by the end of first half but had to survive a late comeback from their hosts to squeeze out a narrow win.
