League Play-Off

Nazilli Stadium
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Rahman Kayansel got the match started through his kick off. Ali Orhan Erencan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 8th minute, Ali Orhan Erencan fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Birkan Kartekin, passed just outside the right post. Ali Faruk Koçaslan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gürcan Tuncaral in the 12th minute of play. After 12 minutes of play, Sapanca SK's Gürcan Tuncaral made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ali Faruk Koçaslan was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Ateş Tanyolaç had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Süreyya Satıkbuğra kicked well hit freekick during the 17th minute of the match. Birkan Kartekin showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ali Orhan Erencan in the 24th minute of the match. Hazım Koçaş took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 27th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Birkan Kartekin. Sapanca SK's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as Ali Orhan Erencan kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Birkan Kartekin. That made the score 1-1 in the 28 minute of play. Nazilli's Ali Faruk Koçaslan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rahman Kayansel in the 33rd minute of play. Hüseyin Kalagay's late challenge caught a Nazilli's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Hüseyin Kalagay helped the player get up and apologised. After 42 played minutes Sapanca SK got a freekick which was hit by Hüseyin Kalagay. Sapanca SK's Birkan Kartekin proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 44th minute of the match, managed to save Sapanca SK from getting a goal against them.

Birkan Kartekin stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Ateş Tanyolaç's shot from short distance in the 54th minute. Ateş Tanyolaç received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 55th minute. Birkan Kartekin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Gürcan Tuncaral struck a weak shot in the 61st minute. Ali Faruk Koçaslan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Sapanca SK. If Rahman Kayansel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 63rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 65th minute, Rahman Kayansel 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. Hüseyin Kalagay hit a great freekick 68 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Sapanca SK's zone, Ateş Tanyolaç stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Birkan Kartekin came out of the goal and Ateş Tanyolaç tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. With a little luck, Nazilli's Ali Faruk Koçaslan got control of the ball when Gürcan Tuncaral tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 89th minute, Gürcan Tuncaral 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. Rahman Kayansel fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 95th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ali Faruk Koçaslan having to interfere. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
