ESEN STADIUM
Spectators: 6685 (Terracing: 5010, Seating: 1675, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Aygün Vefik got the match started through his kick off. Anıl Cenk Sadir struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. Abdulhamit İpekli didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Seyitgazi. Ahmet İlke Çağaçar's late challenge caught a ESEN UNİTED's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ahmet İlke Çağaçar helped the player get up and apologised. After 9 played minutes Seyitgazi got a freekick which was hit by Ahmet İlke Çağaçar. Anıl Cenk Sadir received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute.

After a rather tough play, Seyitgazi's Cebrail Özkutlu got a free kick in the 20th minute. With his leg Altuğ Kantürk managed to avoid a goal in the 24thth minute, when ESEN UNİTED's Şenel Onuktekin fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side.

Abdulhamit İpekli came out of the goal in the 33rd minute to try and stop a shot by Seyitgazi's Orçun Özalpman.

Anıl Cenk Sadir sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Orçun Özalpman had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Orçun Özalpman's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Abdulhamit İpekli was relentless in the 41st minute of the game. When Orçun Özalpman came up free with the goalie in the 45th minute, the Seyitgazi 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 Orçun Özalpman couldn't finish the play. After the first half Seyitgazi were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Zafer Barlas in the 72nd minute of play forced Seyitgazi's goalkeeper Altuğ Kantürk to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in ESEN UNİTED's zone, Anıl Cenk Sadir stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Abdulhamit İpekli came out of the goal and Anıl Cenk Sadir tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Anıl Cenk Sadir took the ball and in the 82 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Abdulhamit İpekli.

Orçun Özalpman's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Abdulhamit İpekli read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 91st minute of play. Anıl Cenk Sadir succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 0-3 in the 93rd playminute. After some fancy dribbling in the 97th minute, Anıl Cenk Sadir managed to get in a good position for a shot. Seyitgazi's supporters rose to their feet, but Anıl Cenk Sadir was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Abdulhamit İpekli breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Seyitgazi played a much better game than ESEN UNİTED and deserved their victory. The ESEN UNİTED players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
