Derbent
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Derbent SK's Peyami Okatay started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. When the match had gone on for 4 minutes, Cafer Muren put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Mehmet Ruçhan. In the 11th minute, Ibradi's Yavuz Selim Turatekin seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Yavuz Selim Turatekin the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Ibradi protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Yavuz Selim Turatekin had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 11 minutes into the game, one of Ibradi:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. When the match had been going on for 13 minutes, Derbent SK's Sermet Zahit got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Şafak Temizer. Mehmet Ruçhan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cafer Muren, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the Derbent SK defense, Cafer Muren kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Mehmet Ruçhan. The Derbent SK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Mehmet Ruçhan should have stopped the shot. Aral Erguvan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 29th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 31 minutes into the match, Derbent SK's goal looked a bit too open when Erdem Sidal came free, but Mehmet Ruçhan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cafer Muren received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Mehmet Ruçhan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 34 minutes into the match, Derbent SK's Peyami Okatay sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Şafak Temizer narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Peyami Okatay scored 2-3 in the 34th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Şafak Temizer, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Şafak Temizer showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Peyami Okatay, who was totally free with the ball in the 38th minute. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Kutluay Kıvanç during the 43rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Ibradi's Kutluay Kıvanç got a free kick in the 43rd minute. Cafer Muren sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Erdem Sidal's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mehmet Ruçhan read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 47th minute of play. The Derbent SK players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Ibradi were winning 2-3.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Cafer Muren to make the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Derbent SK's zone, Cafer Muren stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mehmet Ruçhan came out of the goal and Cafer Muren tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Cafer Muren sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Cafer Muren took the ball and in the 63 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mehmet Ruçhan. Mehmet Ruçhan dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-4. Arkın Onursan kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. The attack was good, but when Peyami Okatay in the 69th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. When Dilaver Egelioğlu fell near the penalty area in the 72nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Derbent SK's protests and gave Dilaver Egelioğlu a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Derbent SK getting a freekick after 72 minutes play. Dilaver Egelioğlu hit a great ball. Cafer Muren struck a weak shot in the 74th minute. Mehmet Ruçhan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ibradi. Cafer Muren received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 78th minute. Mehmet Ruçhan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The long shot by Hüseyin Özilhan in the 80th minute really tested Mehmet Ruçhan's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Cafer Muren might have been able to make a better finish in the 82nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Mehmet Ruçhan. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Cafer Muren ran back to his position shaking his head. Aral Erguvan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mehmet Ruçhan having to interfere. After having played for 88 minutes, Erdem Sidal managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ibradi's supporters crossed their fingers, but Erdem Sidal was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Cafer Muren came up free with the goalie in the 92nd minute, the Ibradi 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 Cafer Muren couldn't finish the play. When Aral Erguvan fell near the penalty area in the 93rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ibradi's protests and gave Aral Erguvan a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Derbent SK booed when Ibradi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 93 match minutes in a wonderful position. Aral Erguvan didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 96th minute Resulhan Toktuğ shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Şafak Temizer saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ibradi's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
