League Play-Off

Saimbeyli
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Talip Akdamar got the match started through his kick off. Yusuf Ziya Uruk was extremely unlucky when he, in the 7th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. A hard shot 8 in the game by Talip Akdamar from a close distance when the talented Anıl Berk Reyyan managed to make a qualified save. Pülümür SK's players were relieved. Gürkan Sehim came out of the goal in the 15th minute to try and stop a shot by Pülümür SK's Çelik Sağanalp. But to his dismay, Çelik Sağanalp quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Anıl Berk Reyyan showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Yusuf Ziya Uruk, who was totally free with the ball in the 18th minute. In the 25th minute, Saimbeyli's Umut Yalman ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Anıl Berk Reyyan. Anıl Berk Reyyan yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-1. Umut Yalman struck a weak shot in the 34th minute. Anıl Berk Reyyan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Saimbeyli. Anıl Berk Reyyan stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Talip Akdamar's shot from short distance in the 36th minute. Umut Yalman recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 38th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Abayhan Ilgıt came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the Saimbeyli 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 Abayhan Ilgıt couldn't finish the play. Anıl Berk Reyyan didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Talip Akdamar went, in the 46th minute, to the upper right corner, 2-1 was the resulting score. 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 2-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Şahap İmroz was the one to do the kick off. After having played for 54 minutes, Çelik Sağanalp managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pülümür SK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Çelik Sağanalp was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Mansur İldeniz during the 56th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Talip Akdamar in the 58th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Anıl Berk Reyyan saved Pülümür SK from getting behind. Gürkan Sehim made a fantastic save in the 63rd minute, when Çelik Sağanalp sent off a good shot on target. Saimbeyli's Umut Yalman got a good chance for a goal in the 67th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Çelik Sağanalp's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Gürkan Sehim firmly grabbed it by the left post. With a little luck, Saimbeyli's Gürkan Sehim got control of the ball when Mansur İldeniz tried to sneak it across the goal line. Pülümür SK's Anıl Berk Reyyan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yusuf Ziya Uruk in the 77th minute of play. 80 minutes into the match, Saimbeyli's goal looked a bit too open when Şahap İmroz came free, but Gürkan Sehim reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 89 minutes into the match, Talip Akdamar had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Anıl Berk Reyyan. Pülümür SK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Talip Akdamar was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-1. Anıl Berk Reyyan stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Talip Akdamar's shot from short distance in the 93rd minute. If Talip Akdamar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 95th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Saimbeyli had played much better football throughout.
