League Play-Off

Sorgun
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when İlhan Haymanalı made the kick off which started today's match. The supporters of Idealtepe booed when Sorgun FK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Aybars Evvel didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Batuğ Umur in the 3rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Abdullah İnanç saved Sorgun FK from getting behind. Aybars Evvel's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Tolga Uzsan firmly grabbed it by the left post. After having played for 9 minutes, Nizam Tokdemir managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Idealtepe's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nizam Tokdemir was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Batuğ Umur fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abdullah İnanç having to interfere. 21 minutes into the match, Idealtepe's Nizam Tokdemir sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Abdullah İnanç narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Batuğ Umur fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abdullah İnanç having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Sorgun FK's Akay Özaltay got a free kick in the 25th minute. If Nizam Tokdemir had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 31 minutes into the match, Idealtepe's goalkeeper Tolga Uzsan had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Aybars Evvel. If Batuğ Umur had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Sorgun FK getting a freekick after 43 minutes play. Lütfi Samim hit a great ball. 45 minutes had been played when some careless play by Sorgun FK's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Cevdet Mertoğlu was slow to take the kick. During this time Idealtepe's players had a chance to rest. Idealtepe's Cevdet Mertoğlu was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Abdullah İnanç in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. In the 47th minute, Cevdet Mertoğlu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 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.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Nizam Tokdemir made a kick off. Batuğ Umur sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 63rd minute, Volkan Yalazabey 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. When Nizam Tokdemir came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the Idealtepe 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 Nizam Tokdemir couldn't finish the play. Tolga Uzsan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from İlhan Haymanalı in the 72nd minute of play. A collision led to Sorgun FK getting a freekick after 77 minutes play. Babür Tekiner hit a great ball. Nizam Tokdemir recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 83rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Nizam Tokdemir struck a weak shot in the 87th minute. Abdullah İnanç didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Idealtepe. If Volkan Yalazabey had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When İsmet Kaim fell near the penalty area in the 90th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Idealtepe's protests and gave İsmet Kaim a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Idealtepe's İsmet Kaim got a free kick in the 90th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Batuğ Umur in the 94th minute of play forced Sorgun FK's goalkeeper Abdullah İnanç to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Babür Tekiner's late challenge caught a Idealtepe's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Babür Tekiner helped the player get up and apologised. After some fancy dribbling in the 96th minute, Nizam Tokdemir managed to get in a good position for a shot. Idealtepe's supporters rose to their feet, but Nizam Tokdemir was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Abdullah İnanç breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Idealtepe were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
