Prized/Friendly Cup

-Montana Arena-
Spectators: 37 (Terracing: 29, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Sefa Sadi took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 16th minute, Ali Nejat Erez hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Sefa Sadi scored 0-1 in the 18th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ahmet Orhan Sabeddin, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. If Özgür Akbora had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. FC Montana's Hektor Hasan got a good chance for a goal in the 32nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 34th minute the ball was on its way in behind Gold Raiders FC's goalkeeper Resul Yalın, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Ahmet Çağrı Yenay hit a great freekick 36 minutes into the match. The long shot by Andaç Mazlum in the 37th minute really tested Resul Yalın'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. 39 minutes into the match, FC Montana's Mehmet Anıl Üstündağ sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Resul Yalın narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The supporters of FC Montana booed when Gold Raiders FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 41 match minutes in a wonderful position. İlker Acemoğlu didn't get a good kick on the ball. Andaç Mazlum struck a weak shot in the 43rd minute. Resul Yalın didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC Montana. After a rather tough play, FC Montana's Mehmet Özçin got a free kick in the 45th minute. İlker Acemoğlu recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 47th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mehmet Anıl Üstündağ to make the kick off. When Mehmet Anıl Üstündağ came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the FC Montana 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 Anıl Üstündağ couldn't finish the play. 54 minutes in the game, İlker Acemoğlu fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Ahmet Orhan Sabeddin having to interfere. Sefa Sadi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 55th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Resul Yalın showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Andaç Mazlum, who was totally free with the ball in the 61st minute. If Özgür Akbora had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Gold Raiders FC's Ahmet Çağrı Yenay got a free kick in the 67th minute. The audience was convinced that Mehmet Anıl Üstündağ's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Resul Yalın was relentless in the 71st minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mehmet Anıl Üstündağ in the 80th minute of play forced Gold Raiders FC's goalkeeper Resul Yalın to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Sefa Sadi fell near the penalty area in the 84th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Gold Raiders FC's protests and gave Sefa Sadi a yellow card for diving instead. After 84 played minutes Gold Raiders FC got a freekick which was hit by Sefa Sadi. After some fancy dribbling in the 85th minute, Mehmet Anıl Üstündağ managed to get in a good position for a shot. FC Montana's supporters rose to their feet, but Mehmet Anıl Üstündağ was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Resul Yalın breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Hektor Hasan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Resul Yalın tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 87th minute, Cenap Kerem hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The Gold Raiders FC supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Gold Raiders FC would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
