Ömerli
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Tanju Dirican took the kick off in the first half of the match. Ünal Özbir's late challenge caught a Kelkit's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ünal Özbir helped the player get up and apologised. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Bayhan Günden during the 8th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Sezen Üçoks short, quick shot in the 10thth minute got Turgut Ugraş to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Turgut Ugraş didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Sezen Üçok went, in the 12th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. In the 18th minute the ball was on its way in behind Kasırga's goalkeeper Fedai Akansel, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Sezen Üçok received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Turgut Ugraş tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With an all-out effort, Kasırga's Turgut Ugraş threw himself towards the right post 21 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Tanju Dirican, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Tanju Dirican recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 26th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 29 minutes into the match, Kasırga's goal looked a bit too open when Teoman Kutlubay came free, but Fedai Akansel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Tanju Dirican struck a weak shot in the 33rd minute. Turgut Ugraş didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kasırga. Sezen Üçok could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 36th minute of the match, but Turgut Ugraş made a huge save. Fedai Akansel made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from İskender Baki Lut in the 42nd minute of play.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Teoman Kutlubay made a kick off. 58 minutes into the game, Kasırga's Tanju Dirican nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Turgut Ugraş made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-1. Kelkit's Turgut Ugraş played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tanju Dirican in the 61st minute of play. The supporters of Kasırga booed when Kelkit was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dinçer Taciroğlu didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 77 minutes of play, Kasırga's Sezen Üçok made it 3-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Turgut Ugraş was left in no man's land by his defense there! 82 minutes into the match, Kelkit's goal looked a bit too open when Sezen Üçok came free, but Turgut Ugraş reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 91st minute, Sezen Üçok 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. İskender Baki Lut fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fedai Akansel having to interfere. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Kasırga had won after a very even match.
