League Play-Off

Germencik Stadium
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Fazıl Hüsnü Dilhan made the kick off which started today's match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ragıp Bala in the 3rd minute of play forced Gaziosmanpasa's goalkeeper Naim Rikap to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 9th minute, Dursun Kongurtay hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Dursun Kongurtay came up free with the goalie in the 11th minute, the Germencik 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 Dursun Kongurtay couldn't finish the play. Ragıp Bala recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 14th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Arın Özaltuğ's late challenge caught a Germencik's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Arın Özaltuğ helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Germencik booed when Gaziosmanpasa was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 19 match minutes in a wonderful position. Arın Özaltuğ didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Fazıl Hüsnü Dilhan in the 29th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Aycan Akçakoca saved Germencik from getting behind. Arın Özaltuğ sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Aycan Akçakoca took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fazıl Hüsnü Dilhan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Ragıp Bala fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Naim Rikap having to interfere. If Ragıp Bala had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 42nd minute, Ragıp Bala fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Naim Rikap, passed just outside the right post. Fazıl Hüsnü Dilhan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 44th minute. Aycan Akçakoca tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 45 played minutes Germencik got a freekick which was hit by Fatih Resat.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ragıp Bala was the one to do the kick off. Germencik's Dursun Kongurtay got a good chance for a goal in the 51st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When Halis Karlukhan fell near the penalty area in the 53rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Germencik's protests and gave Halis Karlukhan a yellow card for diving instead. Halis Karlukhan hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match. Arın Özaltuğ recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 55th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Gaziosmanpasa's Naim Rikap played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ragıp Bala in the 58th minute of play. Ragıp Bala sent away a hard shot on goal in the 61st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Atalay Uysal's late challenge caught a Gaziosmanpasa's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Atalay Uysal helped the player get up and apologised. Atalay Uysal kicked well hit freekick during the 72nd minute of the match. Battal Seyyit Şemseddin hit a great freekick 75 minutes into the match. The audience was convinced that Ragıp Bala's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Naim Rikap was relentless in the 79th minute of the game. Yetkin Naşit hit a great freekick 86 minutes into the match. 87 minutes in the game, Fazıl Hüsnü Dilhan fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Aycan Akçakoca having to interfere. In the 94thth minute of the game Ragıp Bala who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Gaziosmanpasa's Naim Rikap was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
