Vodafone Arena
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Alp Cangiray kicked off to start the match. If Refik Halit Ustaoğlu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Refik Halit Ustaoğlu in the 5th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Paşa Batırhan prevented the ball from getting in the gole. When Alp Cangiray, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 7 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Rauf Neşat was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. Alp Cangiray received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Rauf Neşat tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Refik Halit Ustaoğlu might have been able to make a better finish in the 14th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Paşa Batırhan. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Refik Halit Ustaoğlu ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 24th minute the ball was on its way in behind Bahcesaray's goalkeeper Rauf Neşat, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Rauf Neşat made a fantastic save in the 26th minute, when Aras Balkoç sent off a good shot on target. Aras Balkoç blasted a shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Rauf Neşat having to make a save. Halil Muammer charged in rather forcefully in the 29th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Halil Muammer the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 29 played minutes Fındıkzade FC got a freekick which was hit by Halil Muammer. Rauf Neşat took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alp Cangiray, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 37 minutes into the match, Aras Balkoç notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Bahcesaray's Rauf Neşat. Rauf Neşat was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The crowd rose to their feet as Alp Cangiray kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Rauf Neşat. That made the score 2-0 in the 41 minute of play. After 47 played minutes, Bahcesaray's Gündüz Salat shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Paşa Batırhan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Bahcesaray reached it. Avni Saye's late challenge caught a Bahcesaray's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Avni Saye helped the player get up and apologised. After 48 played minutes Fındıkzade FC got a freekick which was hit by Avni Saye. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Karhan Polatalp was the one to do the kick off. In the 54th minute Aras Balkoç shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rauf Neşat saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 57 minutes in the game, Karhan Polatalp fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Paşa Batırhan having to interfere. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Alp Cangiray in the 61st minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Rauf Neşat prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 67th minute the ball was on its way in behind Bahcesaray's goalkeeper Rauf Neşat, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Aras Balkoç had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Alp Cangiray in the 73rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Rauf Neşat saved Bahcesaray from getting behind. A collision led to Fındıkzade FC getting a freekick after 74 minutes play. Atacan Seciye hit a great ball. After 78 minutes of play Fındıkzade FC's Avni Saye was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. Aras Balkoç fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rauf Neşat having to interfere. In the 83rd minute, Atacan Seciye left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Fındıkzade FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-0. Aras Balkoç sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Fındıkzade FC's Aras Balkoç got a good chance for a goal in the 88th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When Hıncal Latif fell near the penalty area in the 90th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Fındıkzade FC's protests and gave Hıncal Latif a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Bahcesaray booed when Fındıkzade FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 91 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hıncal Latif didn't get a good kick on the ball. Atacan Seciye received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 93rd minute. Rauf Neşat tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Aras Balkoç fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rauf Neşat having to interfere. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Fındıkzade FC fully deserved thier win.
