Dazkiri Stadium
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ulu Akdeniz kicked off to start the match. Servet Eker recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 7th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Atahan Durusan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abdi Genç in the 11th minute of the match. Eyüp Özbil sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 14 minutes into the match, Mersin's goal looked a bit too open when Batıray Özgan came free, but Taner İplikçi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 15th minute, Dazkiri JK's Servet Eker dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. 21 minutes into the match, Dazkiri JK's goal looked a bit too open when Ulu Akdeniz came free, but Atahan Durusan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 23rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Dazkiri JK's goalkeeper Atahan Durusan, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Kamber Satıkbuğra blasted a shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Atahan Durusan having to make a save. Mersin's Ulu Akdeniz got a good chance for a goal in the 30th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Vural İlican had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 37 played minutes, Mersin's Affan Ergüç shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Atahan Durusan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Mersin reached it. Ulu Akdeniz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A hard, long distance shot from Kamber Satıkbuğra flew over the goal. Taner İplikçi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Batıray Özgan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Mersin's Ulu Akdeniz got a good chance for a goal in the 45th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Batıray Özgan to make the kick off. Batıray Özgan 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. If Batıray Özgan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 67 minutes, Servet Eker mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Dazkiri JK and the Mersin players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Dazkiri JK's Servet Eker got a free kick in the 68th minute. After 70 played minutes, Mersin's Affan Ergüç shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Atahan Durusan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Mersin reached it. Eyüp Özbil fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Atahan Durusan having to interfere. Mersin's Vural İlican got a good chance for a goal in the 82nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Dazkiri JK's zone, Vural İlican stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Atahan Durusan came out of the goal and Vural İlican tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After having played for 85 minutes, Ahmet Bedri Özbey managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mersin's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ahmet Bedri Özbey was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Dazkiri JK's Atahan Durusan proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 90th minute of the match, managed to save Dazkiri JK from getting a goal against them. Servet Eker took the ball and in the 92 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Taner İplikçi. Taner İplikçi dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-0. The supporters of Mersin booed when Dazkiri JK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Batıray Özgan didn't get a good kick on the ball. Many of Mersin's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Mersin may have spent more time on the ball, but Dazkiri JK were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
