League Play-Off

Serik
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Kamuran Sahadettin started the match with the kick off. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Abdulaziz Uruk in the 8th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Ahmet Boran Latif prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Kamuran Sahadettin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Selahaddin Yumlu read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 13th minute of play. An unexpected shot in the 18th minute by Abdulaziz Uruk got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. After 22 played minutes Horasan JK got a freekick which was hit by Muhammet Başer. Abdulaziz Uruk received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Ahmet Boran Latif tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 33 minutes into the match, Kamuran Sahadettin had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Selahaddin Yumlu. Serik's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Kamuran Sahadettin was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Songurhan Yordam charged in rather forcefully in the 36th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Songurhan Yordam the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Serik's Songurhan Yordam got a free kick in the 36th minute. Ahmet Boran Latif was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Songurhan Yordam showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-1 in the 40 minute of play. 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.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Abdulaziz Uruk stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 51st minute, Kamuran Sahadettin got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Ahmet Turan Kutal might have been able to make a better finish in the 53rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Selahaddin Yumlu. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ahmet Turan Kutal ran back to his position shaking his head. Songurhan Yordam kicked well hit freekick during the 54th minute of the match. In the 56th minute of the match, Kamuran Sahadettin tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Selahaddin Yumlu saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Abdulaziz Uruk struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. Ahmet Boran Latif didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Serik. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Abdulaziz Uruk in the 67th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ahmet Boran Latif saved Horasan JK from getting behind. Abdulaziz Uruk fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ahmet Boran Latif having to interfere. Selahaddin Yumlu made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ahmet Turan Kutal in the 73rd minute. 74 minutes into the match, Serik's Yıldıray Kayaalp sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ahmet Boran Latif narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Muhammet Başer kicked well hit freekick during the 76th minute of the match. Yıldıray Kayaalp recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 77th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ahmet Boran Latif showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Abdulaziz Uruk, who was totally free with the ball in the 81st minute. Ahmet Boran Latif came out of the goal in the 87th minute to try and stop a shot by Serik's Abdulaziz Uruk. But to his dismay, Abdulaziz Uruk quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-1. 92 minutes into the match, Horasan JK's goal looked a bit too open when Yıldıray Kayaalp came free, but Ahmet Boran Latif reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Muhammet Başer's late challenge caught a Serik's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Muhammet Başer helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Serik booed when Horasan JK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 94 match minutes in a wonderful position. Muhammet Başer didn't get a good kick on the ball. Ahmet Boran Latif took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abdulaziz Uruk, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Serik had won after a very even match.
