Bekilli Stadium
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Hasan Can Tokhan got the match started through his kick off. Gürol Çakır showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Arif Çelebi Kahraman, who was totally free with the ball in the 17th minute. In the 20th minute of the match, Hasan Can Tokhan tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Nuri Oğuztan saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Gürol Çakır came out of the goal in the 26th minute to try and stop a shot by Baltalimani SK's Arif Çelebi Kahraman. But to his dismay, Arif Çelebi Kahraman quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. If Abbas Müslim had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. With a little luck, Baltalimani SK's Nuri Oğuztan got control of the ball when Gündüz Şikel tried to sneak it across the goal line. Arif Çelebi Kahraman succeeded in the game's 40th minute to shoot an unreachable shot under the crossbar and scored - 0-2. A collision led to Baltalimani SK getting a freekick after 42 minutes play. Abdülhak Küdüs hit a great ball. After the first half Baltalimani SK were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Arif Çelebi Kahraman stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Arif Çelebi Kahraman sent away a hard shot on goal in the 51st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Nuri Oğuztan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gündüz Şikel in the 54th minute of play. In the 59th minute, Coşkun Akyel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 60 played minutes Baltalimani SK got a freekick which was hit by Tansu Betim. In the 72nd minute, Tansu Betim got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After 78 minutes of play, Bekilli JK's Hasan Can Tokhan made it 1-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Nuri Oğuztan was left in no man's land by his defense there! Gürol Çakır made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ege Benlioğlu in the 85th minute. When Ege Benlioğlu came up free with the goalie in the 91st minute, the Baltalimani SK fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ege Benlioğlu couldn't finish the play. Ege Benlioğlu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 95th minute. Gürol Çakır tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The Baltalimani SK supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Baltalimani SK would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
