Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Fikri Öğüç made the kick off which started today's match. After a rather tough play, Esme's Halil İbrahim Ilgın got a free kick in the 7th minute. 10 minutes into the match, Esme's Halil İbrahim Ilgın sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Eşref Ülküm narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Ekber Sabancı struck a weak shot in the 11th minute. Eşref Ülküm didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Esme. In the 13th minute Halil İbrahim Ilgın shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Eşref Ülküm saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Halil İbrahim Ilgın had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 16 minutes into the match, Kirli FK's goal looked a bit too open when Halil İbrahim Ilgın came free, but Eşref Ülküm reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 19 played minutes Esme got a freekick which was hit by Ekber Sabancı. 24 minutes into the match, Esme's goal looked a bit too open when Fikri Öğüç came free, but Güralp Tuğtaşı reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Güralp Tuğtaşı made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Caner Çelikoz in the 32nd minute of play. 36 minutes into the match, Esme's goalkeeper Güralp Tuğtaşı had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Radoslaw Buczak. Eşref Ülküm made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Halil İbrahim Ilgın in the 37th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 39th minute, Caner Çelikoz managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kirli FK's supporters rose to their feet, but Caner Çelikoz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Güralp Tuğtaşı breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 44 minutes into the game, Caner Çelikoz was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Kirli FK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Esme the free kick. In the 45th minute, Ekber Sabancı 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. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Halil İbrahim Ilgın made a kick off. In the 56th minute Recep Talha Lema shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Güralp Tuğtaşı saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Eşref Ülküm made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ekber Sabancı in the 59th minute. In the 63rd play minute Ekber Sabancı came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Eşref Ülküm. 0-1. Aytaç Ergümen's late challenge caught a Esme's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Aytaç Ergümen helped the player get up and apologised. Aytaç Ergümen kicked well hit freekick during the 66th minute of the match. When Caner Çelikoz came up free with the goalie in the 69th minute, the Kirli FK 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 Caner Çelikoz couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Kirli FK booed when Esme was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ramazan Kınık didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Caner Çelikoz managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kirli FK's supporters rose to their feet, but Caner Çelikoz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Güralp Tuğtaşı breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Orhan Türköz fell near the penalty area in the 75th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Esme's protests and gave Orhan Türköz a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Esme getting a freekick after 75 minutes play. Orhan Türköz hit a great ball. After a rather tough play, Kirli FK's Caner Çelikoz got a free kick in the 78th minute. Esme's Arif Egemen Gümüşcü shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 79th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Eşref Ülküm but with some difficulty. Ekber Sabancı could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 82nd minute of the match, but Eşref Ülküm made a huge save. 83 minutes into the match, Radoslaw Buczak notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of Esme's Güralp Tuğtaşı. Güralp Tuğtaşı was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Eşref Ülküm showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Halil İbrahim Ilgın in the 87th minute of the match. Caner Çelikoz hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Ekber Sabancı fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 89th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Eşref Ülküm having to interfere. After some careless play in the Esme defense, Fikri Öğüç kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Güralp Tuğtaşı. The Esme fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Güralp Tuğtaşı should have stopped the shot. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Kirli FK had played much better football throughout.
