Spectators: 7450 (Terracing: 5589, Seating: 1713, VIP seats: 148) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Saltuk Yurtseven made the kick off which started today's match. After a defensive mix-up in zσηє αттα¢к ƒ.¢'s zone, Zülfü Kirmanşah stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ertaç Alkın came out of the goal and Zülfü Kirmanşah tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Avanos's Zülfü Kirmanşah got a good chance for a goal in the 7th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Saltuk Yurtseven managed to get in a good position for a shot. Avanos's supporters rose to their feet, but Saltuk Yurtseven was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ertaç Alkın breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 16 minutes, Ali Macit Malik mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the zσηє αттα¢к ƒ.¢ and the Avanos players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 16 played minutes zσηє αттα¢к ƒ.¢ got a freekick which was hit by Ali Macit Malik. When Kaptan Tüzmen fell near the penalty area in the 19th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Avanos's protests and gave Kaptan Tüzmen a yellow card for diving instead. In the 19th minute, Kaptan Tüzmen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Aykan Yamaner kicked well hit freekick during the 25th minute of the match. A collision led to zσηє αттα¢к ƒ.¢ getting a freekick after 29 minutes play. Ayhan Ilımlı hit a great ball. Ertaç Alkın didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Saltuk Yurtseven went, in the 32nd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. After some careless play in the zσηє αттα¢к ƒ.¢ defense, Saltuk Yurtseven kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ertaç Alkın. The zσηє αттα¢к ƒ.¢ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ertaç Alkın should have stopped the shot. Ali Macit Malik sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ayhan Ilımlı to make the kick off. After 67 minutes zσηє αттα¢к ƒ.¢'s goalkeeper Ertaç Alkın managed, with a little bit of luck, save Kutluay Ustam's penalty, on his right side after a tricky shot. After 67 minutes of play, Avanos's Kutluay Ustam made it 0-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ertaç Alkın was left in no man's land by his defense there! A collision led to zσηє αттα¢к ƒ.¢ getting a freekick after 73 minutes play. Aykan Yamaner hit a great ball.
