Kanlica Stadium
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Gökay Yılkan took the kick off in the first half of the match. 8 minutes into the match, GALATASARAY's goalkeeper Gürol Ergintuğ had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Gökay Yılkan. 14 minutes into the match, Kanlica's Duran Şenol sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gürol Ergintuğ narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in GALATASARAY's zone, Duran Şenol stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gürol Ergintuğ came out of the goal and Duran Şenol tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Duran Şenol fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gürol Ergintuğ having to interfere. GALATASARAY's Gürol Ergintuğ played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Gökay Yılkan in the 22nd minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 24th minute, Gökay Yılkan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kanlica's supporters rose to their feet, but Gökay Yılkan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gürol Ergintuğ breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 29 minutes into the match, Kanlica's goal looked a bit too open when Can Ganim came free, but Vatan Diriğ reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that Can Ganim's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Vatan Diriğ was relentless in the 30th minute of the game. Vatan Diriğ made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Can Ganim in the 39th minute of play. Osman Nuri Akburak was shown his second yellow card after 40 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. After a rather tough play, GALATASARAY's Bayezit Taştekin got a free kick in the 42nd minute. Duran Şenol sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Gökay Yılkan in the 58th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Gürol Ergintuğ prevented the ball from getting in the gole. A collision led to GALATASARAY getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Sedat Özberk hit a great ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Bayezit Taştekin got free with Vatan Diriğ in the 68th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Gürol Ergintuğ made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gökay Yılkan in the 75th minute of play. A hard shot 77 in the game by Bayezit Taştekin from a close distance when the talented Vatan Diriğ managed to make a qualified save. Kanlica's players were relieved. Bayezit Taştekin was extremely unlucky when he, in the 79th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. If Bayezit Taştekin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Can Ganim fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 88th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vatan Diriğ having to interfere. Rahim Özboga kicked well hit freekick during the 95th minute of the match. Alparslan Tufan, 96 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
