The Home of Richmond
Spectators: 7274 (Terracing: 5457, Seating: 1673, VIP seats: 144) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Bican Şems started the match with the kick off. Alkın Eryaman charged in rather forcefully in the 3rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Alkın Eryaman the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Fazlı Ulutaş took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bican Şems, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Refik Halit Türev had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 10 minutes into the match, Richmond's goal looked a bit too open when Ulu Adıgün came free, but Özgür Naim reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Richmond's Özgür Naim played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Refik Halit Türev in the 12th minute of play. Fazlı Ulutaş came out of the goal in the 14th minute to try and stop a shot by Richmond's Emre Akdoruk. But to his dismay, Emre Akdoruk quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. Refik Halit Türev fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Özgür Naim having to interfere. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Lütfü Şahan during the 19th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 31st minute Arif Cengiz Suavi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Özgür Naim saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 32ndth minute of the game Refik Halit Türev who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Richmond's Özgür Naim was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Şükrü Uğurlu during the 38th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Refik Halit Türev sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 45th minute the ball was on its way in behind Richmond's goalkeeper Özgür Naim, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Refik Halit Türev stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the match, Ulu Adıgün had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Özgür Naim. Richmond's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ulu Adıgün was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. In the 58th minute Emre Akdoruk shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fazlı Ulutaş saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Fazlı Ulutaş showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bican Şems, who was totally free with the ball in the 62nd minute. 67 minutes into the match, Hacibektas's goal looked a bit too open when Emre Akdoruk came free, but Fazlı Ulutaş reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ulu Adıgün received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 69th minute. Özgür Naim tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Bican Şems came up free with the goalie in the 72nd minute, the Richmond 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 Bican Şems couldn't finish the play. If Emre Akdoruk had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Refik Halit Türev fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Özgür Naim having to interfere. Özgür Naim made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Refik Halit Türev in the 81st minute of play. In the 83rdth minute of the game Refik Halit Türev who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Richmond's Özgür Naim was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 85 minutes into the game, Refik Halit Türev recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Özgür Naim. Refik Halit Türev showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-3. After 88 minutes of play, Hacibektas's Ulu Adıgün made it 1-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Özgür Naim was left in no man's land by his defense there! Arif Cengiz Suavi charged in rather forcefully in the 92nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Arif Cengiz Suavi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Özgür Naim was out of position in the 95 minute of play, and Refik Halit Türev capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Refik Halit Türev really showed his touch with that goal: 1-5. Hacibektas played a much better game than Richmond and deserved their victory. The Richmond players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
