LOVE ARENA
Spectators: 7310 (Terracing: 5484, Seating: 1681, VIP seats: 145) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Fatih Saip started the match with the kick off. Muzaffer Özguc could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 6th minute of the match, but Oktay Özgun made a huge save. Ahmet Refik İhsan scored 1-0 in the 8th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Oktay Özgun, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Bünyamin Aras made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fatih Saip in the 11th minute of play. 12 minutes into the match, Catalcesme's goalkeeper Oktay Özgun had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Muzaffer Özguc. Catalcesme's Oktay Özgun proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 14th minute of the match, managed to save Catalcesme from getting a goal against them. Ahmet Ekemen's late challenge caught a Catalcesme's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ahmet Ekemen helped the player get up and apologised. After some fancy dribbling in the 21st minute, Fevzi Olcaytu managed to get in a good position for a shot. Catalcesme's supporters rose to their feet, but Fevzi Olcaytu was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bünyamin Aras breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 25 minutes into the match, I LOVE YOU's goal looked a bit too open when Fatih Saip came free, but Bünyamin Aras reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Bünyamin Aras didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Fatih Saip went, in the 28th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. When the match clock showed 33 minutes, the score became 1-2 when Fatih Saip sped through I LOVE YOU's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Bünyamin Aras. Ahmet Ekemen kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. If Fatih Saip had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bünyamin Aras showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Fevzi Olcaytu in the 39th minute of the match. A collision led to Catalcesme getting a freekick after 41 minutes play. Kunter Tuğsav hit a great ball. Pekin Ekici missed a clear chance of a goal when in the 43 minute of the game fired away a shot, but unfortunally the ball went out to the Oktay Özgun right hand side. Oktay Özgun was out of position in the 45 minute of play, and Ahmet Refik İhsan capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Ahmet Refik İhsan really showed his touch with that goal: 2-2. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

In the 59th minute, Doğaner Hafız left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The I LOVE YOU fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-2. 63 minutes into the match, Catalcesme's goal looked a bit too open when Doğaner Hafız came free, but Oktay Özgun reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Bünyamin Aras made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fatih Saip in the 70th minute of play. Catalcesme's attack was well implemented in the 74th minute, but when Fatih Saip was about to shoot he didn't get a good hit on the ball and it hit the crossbar and flew over. Goal Kick. Fevzi Olcaytu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bünyamin Aras having to interfere. Bünyamin Aras made a fantastic save in the 84th minute, when Fevzi Olcaytu sent off a good shot on target. In the 85th minute Doğaner Hafız shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Oktay Özgun saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Oktay Özgun made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Şerif Seylan in the 87th minute of play. Oktay Özgun took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Muzaffer Özguc, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Baybars Hatip kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. I LOVE YOU's Pekin Ekici couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 94th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Catalcesme. After 96 minutes of play, I LOVE YOU's Görkem Sadi made it 4-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Oktay Özgun was left in no man's land by his defense there! I LOVE YOU's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
