Elbeyli
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26,
Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Özden Dertsiz took the kick off in the first half of the match. 3 minutes into the match, Arhavi's goal looked a bit too open when Özden Dertsiz came free, but Ufuk Yadigar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Vahit Türkşen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Batuhan Aydınoğlu having to interfere. Ersin Oyal charged in rather forcefully in the 11th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ersin Oyal the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. If Sergen Umurbay had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Elbeyli booed when Arhavi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ahmet Ceyhan Korur didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 18th minute of the match Akın Akbey shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Ufuk Yadigar showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 20th minute, Vahit Türkşen managed to get in a good position for a shot. Arhavi's supporters rose to their feet, but Vahit Türkşen was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Batuhan Aydınoğlu breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Batuhan Aydınoğlu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Sergen Umurbay in the 21st minute of the match. In the 32nd minute, Vahit Türkşen left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Arhavi fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. 35 minutes into the game, Akil Sadun was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Elbeyli's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Arhavi the free kick. 38 minutes into the game, Vahit Türkşen cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Batuhan Aydınoğlu was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Vahit Türkşen struck a weak shot in the 41st minute. Batuhan Aydınoğlu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Arhavi. Batuhan Aydınoğlu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vahit Türkşen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Vahit Türkşen's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Batuhan Aydınoğlu was relentless in the 46th minute of the game. Vahit Türkşen fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 48th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Batuhan Aydınoğlu having to interfere. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.
The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Sergen Umurbay was the one to do the kick off.

In the 56th minute of the match, Sergen Umurbay tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Batuhan Aydınoğlu saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line.

The referee showed Bekir Çile the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 56 played minutes Elbeyli got a freekick which was hit by Bekir Çile. Vahit Türkşen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Batuhan Aydınoğlu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 59 minutes, Haşim Yıldıray mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Arhavi and the Elbeyli players grew even worse after the yellow card.

Vahit Türkşen could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 63rd minute of the match, but Batuhan Aydınoğlu made a huge save.

After a defensive mix-up in Arhavi's zone, Özden Dertsiz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ufuk Yadigar came out of the goal and Özden Dertsiz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the final whistle sounded Arhavi left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Elbeyli.
