E M İ N A R A S !!!
Spectators: 7209 (Terracing: 5409, Seating: 1657, VIP seats: 143) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Güralp Özkaya kicked off to start the match. If Gündüz Tüzel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When İsa Canbulat fell near the penalty area in the 11th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored E M İ N A R A S ! ! !'s protests and gave İsa Canbulat a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of ERDEM F.C. booed when E M İ N A R A S ! ! ! was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. İsa Canbulat didn't get a good kick on the ball. E M İ N A R A S ! ! !'s Sadettin Uyun played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gündüz Tüzel in the 14th minute of play. If Ahmet Nafiz Oruk had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 26 minutes into the match, E M İ N A R A S ! ! !'s goal looked a bit too open when Ahmet Nafiz Oruk came free, but Sadettin Uyun reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sadettin Uyun made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gündüz Tüzel in the 30th minute of play. In the 40th minute Gündüz Tüzel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sadettin Uyun saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Altay Kutulmuş fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Işık Beyzade having to interfere.

The wind increased when Gündüz Tüzel made the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute of the match, Ahmet Nafiz Oruk got a very nice opportunity to score, but Sadettin Uyun was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Fahri Özakan hit a great freekick 56 minutes into the match. With a little luck, E M İ N A R A S ! ! !'s Sadettin Uyun got control of the ball when Ahmet Nafiz Oruk tried to sneak it across the goal line. Ahmet Nafiz Oruk sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Ahmet Nafiz Oruk could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 64th minute of the match, but Sadettin Uyun made a huge save. When the match clock showed 68 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Gündüz Tüzel sped through E M İ N A R A S ! ! !'s defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Sadettin Uyun. Gündüz Tüzel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute. Sadettin Uyun tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Arif Nihat Akarslan fell near the penalty area in the 76th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored E M İ N A R A S ! ! !'s protests and gave Arif Nihat Akarslan a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of ERDEM F.C. booed when E M İ N A R A S ! ! ! was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Arif Nihat Akarslan didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 83rd minute, ERDEM F.C.'s Sezen Otaç seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Sezen Otaç the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of ERDEM F.C. protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Sezen Otaç had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After 82 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for ERDEM F.C.! After a rather tough play, E M İ N A R A S ! ! !'s Fahri Özakan got a free kick in the 89th minute. The crowd rose to their feet as Ahmet Nafiz Oruk kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Sadettin Uyun. That made the score 1-2 in the 91 minute of play. The E M İ N A R A S ! ! ! fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. ERDEM F.C. were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
