Kocaali
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Mehmet Ali Özdel started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. Mehmet Ali Özdel who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 7thth minute tested the skills of Yavuz Selim Yuluğ when he managed to save the team from getting behind. After a rather tough play, koc54's Ali Berkant Özekan got a free kick in the 7th minute. In the 9th minute Mehmet Ali Özdel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yavuz Selim Yuluğ saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Bora Han Karan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 16 minutes, Ahmet İlke Avcıoğlu mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Kocaali SK and the koc54 players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Kocaali SK's Bora Han Karan got a free kick in the 19th minute. Meriç Sezal recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 20th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Abdi Hasanoğlu struck a weak shot in the 21st minute. Tarık Sayhan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for koc54. After 22 played minutes Kocaali SK got a freekick which was hit by Gürhan Usalp. 25 minutes into the match, koc54's Meriç Sezal sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tarık Sayhan narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When Meriç Sezal came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the koc54 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 Meriç Sezal couldn't finish the play. In the 28th minute, Abdi Hasanoğlu ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Tarık Sayhan was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Yavuz Selim Yuluğ made an important save on a dangerous shot by Mehmet Ali Özdel in the 36th minute. Vedat Orcun received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 40th minute. Yavuz Selim Yuluğ tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mehmet Ali Özdel's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 42ndth minute, Yavuz Selim Yuluğ skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 45th minute, Ali Baran Münir managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kocaali SK's supporters rose to their feet, but Ali Baran Münir was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Yavuz Selim Yuluğ breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Meriç Sezal was the one to do the kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Abdi Hasanoğlu had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Tarık Sayhan. Kocaali SK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Abdi Hasanoğlu was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. In the 60th minute, Bora Han Karan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Ali Baran Münir had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Mehmet Ali Özdel came up free with the goalie in the 70th minute, the Kocaali 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 Mehmet Ali Özdel couldn't finish the play. Yavuz Selim Yuluğ stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Mehmet Ali Özdel's shot from short distance in the 77th minute. When Ali Berkant Özekan was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 81 minutes had been played. Mehmet Ali Özdel scored 1-2 in the 85th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Yavuz Selim Yuluğ, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 90 played minutes koc54 got a freekick which was hit by Mecnun Berin. In the 93rd minute, Vedat Orcun 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. When the match clock showed 95 minutes, the score became 2-2 when Mehmet Ali Özdel sped through koc54's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Yavuz Selim Yuluğ. Kocaali SK were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
