Spectators: 7117 (Terracing: 5408, Seating: 1657, VIP seats: 52) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Hüsamettin Kamver made the kick off which started today's match. 3 minutes into the match, Hüsamettin Kamver had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Timur Hazer. Arar F.C's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Hüsamettin Kamver was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 7th minute of the game. One of Ikizce FK:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Arar F.C:s goal. Arar F.C were awarded a corner in the 10th minute after Ikizce FK's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Yağızhan Uraz took the corner. The corner led Arar F.C's Kadim Karakaya to a score. 1-1 in the 10th minute. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Hüsamettin Kamver in the 14th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Timur Hazer prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After a rather tough play, Ikizce FK's Muharrem Kırgız got a free kick in the 15th minute. Yağızhan Uraz was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 16th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Muharrem Kırgız kicked well hit freekick during the 17th minute of the match. When Arar F.C's Kadim Karakaya in the 20th minute got a chance for a shot 20th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Ikizce FK's goalie prevented a goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kadim Karakaya in the 23rd minute of play forced Ikizce FK's goalkeeper Mustafa Yaşar Ceceli to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Aycan Erginalp recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 24th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Muharrem Kırgız hit a great freekick 25 minutes into the match. If Kadim Karakaya had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Oğuzalp Nurbay hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. A hard and well directed shot from Gazanfer Özcan Baytugay led 33 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Arar F.C's Timur Hazer became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 1-2. The audience was convinced that Aycan Erginalp's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Timur Hazer was relentless in the 39th minute of the game. Aycan Erginalp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Hüsamettin Kamver had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Aycan Erginalp recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 44th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Kadim Karakaya stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Akşemseddin Özenli's late challenge caught a Arar F.C's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Akşemseddin Özenli helped the player get up and apologised. In the 55th minute, Akşemseddin Özenli hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Hüsamettin Kamver in the 60th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Timur Hazer prevented the ball from getting in the gole. With his leg Timur Hazer managed to avoid a goal in the 67thth minute, when Ikizce FK's Aycan Erginalp fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Aycan Erginalp received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 77th minute. Timur Hazer tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sabahattin Sağbilge struck a weak shot in the 83rd minute. Mustafa Yaşar Ceceli didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Arar F.C. In the 86th minute, Birant Bilgen reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Timur Hazer. The goal made the score 1-3. When the match was over Ikizce FK could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Arar F.C throughout the match.
