SİERA ARENA
Spectators: 6576 (Terracing: 4750, 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. Lokman Temcit started the match with the kick off. After 3 played minutes SİERA got a freekick which was hit by Okaner Utkan. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Seyfettin Tuyuğ managed to get in a good position for a shot. Divrigi SK's supporters rose to their feet, but Seyfettin Tuyuğ was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Hernani Arce breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Hernani Arce showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Adnan Gayret in the 6th minute of the match. When Lokman Temcit came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the SİERA 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 Lokman Temcit couldn't finish the play. 11 minutes into the match, Divrigi SK's goalkeeper Altan Zişan had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Kayacan Yazgan. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Resul Akarslan in the 18th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Hernani Arce prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After a defensive mix-up in SİERA's zone, Resul Akarslan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hernani Arce came out of the goal and Resul Akarslan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Hernani Arce took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Resul Akarslan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Lokman Temcit's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Altan Zişan read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 34th minute of play. Lokman Temcit fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Altan Zişan having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Divrigi SK's Teoman Hezarfen got a free kick in the 37th minute. SİERA's Saruhan Kırgız broke free in the 38th minute of the match and struck a powerful long shot that almost became a goal, but instead the ball went outside the right post. An obvious chance of a goal. Hernani Arce stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Resul Akarslan's shot from short distance in the 39th minute. After some careless play in the SİERA defense, Adnan Gayret kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Hernani Arce. The SİERA fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Hernani Arce should have stopped the shot. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

After 51 minutes, Seyfi Okergun mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Divrigi SK and the SİERA players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Divrigi SK getting a freekick after 51 minutes play. Seyfi Okergun hit a great ball. After having played for 52 minutes, Saruhan Kırgız managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. SİERA's supporters crossed their fingers, but Saruhan Kırgız was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 54 played minutes Divrigi SK got a freekick which was hit by Fethi Veysel. After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, Resul Akarslan managed to get in a good position for a shot. Divrigi SK's supporters rose to their feet, but Resul Akarslan was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Hernani Arce breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lokman Temcit in the 59th minute of play forced Divrigi SK's goalkeeper Altan Zişan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Altan Zişan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kayacan Yazgan in the 62nd minute of play. In the 83rd minute Seyfi Okergun shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hernani Arce saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Divrigi SK's Altan Zişan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Lokman Temcit in the 84th minute of play. Adnan Gayret sent away a hard shot on goal in the 86th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 88 played minutes SİERA got a freekick which was hit by Tamer Ulgu. Hernani Arce acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 89th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Seyfettin Tuyuğ. Fethi Veysel's late challenge caught a SİERA's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Fethi Veysel helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Divrigi SK's Fethi Veysel got a free kick in the 91st minute. Saruhan Kırgız, 92 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.
