GALATASARAY SK
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Bayezit İslamoğlu kicked off to start the match. The audience was convinced that Avni Aydınoğlu's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Refik Halit Taşdan was relentless in the 3rd minute of the game. Ahmet İlhan Dinçay received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Emre Özbekkan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 8th minute, Bayezit İslamoğlu ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Emre Özbekkan was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. Yigilca's Emre Özbekkan proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 13th minute of the match, managed to save Yigilca from getting a goal against them. 15 minutes into the match, Alperen Demir had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Refik Halit Taşdan. Galatasaray sk's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Alperen Demir was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. In the 19th match minute, Yigilca was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Baykan Çimen to maneuver through the defense. The audience thought a goal was coming when Bayezit İslamoğlu got free with Emre Özbekkan in the 26th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Galatasaray sk's Refik Halit Taşdan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alperen Demir in the 28th minute of play. Ali Asım Özkutal charged in rather forcefully in the 34th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ali Asım Özkutal the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 34 played minutes Yigilca got a freekick which was hit by Ali Asım Özkutal. Alperen Demir struck a weak shot in the 38th minute. Refik Halit Taşdan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Yigilca. Avni Aydınoğlu might have been able to make a better finish in the 40th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Refik Halit Taşdan. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Avni Aydınoğlu ran back to his position shaking his head. Alperen Demir 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.

With a little luck, Galatasaray sk's Refik Halit Taşdan got control of the ball when Alperen Demir tried to sneak it across the goal line. Refik Halit Taşdan stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Avni Aydınoğlu's shot from short distance in the 54th minute. Alperen Demir sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Emre Özbekkan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bayezit İslamoğlu in the 62nd minute of play. If Bayezit İslamoğlu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Alperen Demir got free with Refik Halit Taşdan in the 78th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Alperen Demir scored 1-2 in the 83rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Refik Halit Taşdan, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Refik Halit Taşdan was out of position in the 86 minute of play, and Avni Aydınoğlu capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Avni Aydınoğlu really showed his touch with that goal: 1-3. Alperen Demir recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 89th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 90 minutes into the match, Yigilca's Alperen Demir sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Refik Halit Taşdan narrowly saved just below the crossbar. 95 minutes into the game, Galatasaray sk's Bayezit İslamoğlu nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Emre Özbekkan made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-3.
