Ciftehavuzlar Stadiu
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. Demir Özil started the match with the kick off. Yağızhan Ocakoğlu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Demir Özil, who was totally free with the ball in the 9th minute. İzzet Bilgin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 14th minute İzzet Bilgin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mustafa Arif Fırat saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If İzzet Bilgin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Lalapasa's Mustafa Cumhur Turhan got a free kick in the 17th minute. After 19 minutes, Binali Pehlivan mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ciftehavuzlar and the Lalapasa players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Lalapasa booed when Ciftehavuzlar was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 19 match minutes in a wonderful position. Binali Pehlivan didn't get a good kick on the ball. Şinasi Çelikkan charged in rather forcefully in the 22nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Şinasi Çelikkan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In a very dangerous position, a player in Ciftehavuzlar fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 22nd minute. Penalty! In the 23rd minute there was a penalty for Lalapasa. Atilla Bilen stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Mustafa Arif Fırat. 0-2. In the 27th minute, Orhan Başkara hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Mustafa Arif Fırat made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mustafa Cumhur Turhan in the 33rd minute of play. When Korhan Honazlı fell near the penalty area in the 34th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ciftehavuzlar's protests and gave Korhan Honazlı a yellow card for diving instead. In the 34th match minute, Ciftehavuzlar was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Korhan Honazlı to maneuver through the defense.

With a left leg Mustafa Arif Fırat saved Ciftehavuzlar from getting behind. 38 minutes into the match, Ciftehavuzlar's goal looked a bit too open when Mustafa Cumhur Turhan came free, but Mustafa Arif Fırat reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 40 minutes into the game, İzzet Bilgin cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-3. Mustafa Arif Fırat was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After 47 played minutes Demir Özil rounded Lalapasa's defense and shot a beautiful shot into goal via left pole - 1-3. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-3 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mustafa Cumhur Turhan to make the kick off. İzzet Bilgins short, quick shot in the 54thth minute got Mustafa Arif Fırat to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Mustafa Cumhur Turhan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. Mustafa Arif Fırat tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

In the 74th minute İzzet Bilgin shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mustafa Arif Fırat saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mustafa Cumhur Turhan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

İzzet Bilgin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 91st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Orhan Başkara struck a weak shot in the 96th minute.
