U18 League

Meydangücü Arena
Spectators: 152 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 35, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Esat Umay started the match with the kick off. Bayındır Aker kicked well hit freekick during the 3rd minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Orhan Veli Tokyürek in the 5th minute of play forced Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s goalkeeper Necdet Koçyiğit to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 8th minute, Esat Umay left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Under 18 Universe fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. 10 minutes into the match, Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s goal looked a bit too open when Esat Umay came free, but Necdet Koçyiğit reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cem Kırca recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 13th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. A collision led to Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤ getting a freekick after 16 minutes play. Bedri Ağın hit a great ball. After a rather tough play, Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s Tayfun Çetinsu got a free kick in the 17th minute. Orhan Veli Tokyürek sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 26th minute, Tayfun Çetinsu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 31st minute Esat Umay shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Necdet Koçyiğit saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 37th minute Bedri Ağın shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tahsin Orguntay saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Necdet Koçyiğit made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Esat Umay in the 38th minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s zone, Cem Kırca stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Necdet Koçyiğit came out of the goal and Cem Kırca tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Bayındır Aker to make the kick off. Under 18 Universe's Esat Umay got a good chance for a goal in the 53rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Tahsin Orguntay showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bedri Ağın, who was totally free with the ball in the 70th minute. Basri Zahir lost his temper 76 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. After 77 played minutes Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤ got a freekick which was hit by Basri Zahir. Necdet Koçyiğit took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kadri Coşan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Cem Kırca sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 90th minute, Bayındır Aker hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Osman Kaygun's late challenge caught a Under 18 Universe's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Osman Kaygun helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Tʂ MҽყԃαɳGüƈü Ⓢ③⑤'s Osman Kaygun got a free kick in the 93rd minute.
