League Play-Off

Serik
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Yaşar Nuri Çakıroğlu kicked off to start the match. If Kutay Ergüner had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Yaşar Nuri Çakıroğlu had several of the Tekman FK's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 6 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Meriç Eraslan as he didn't even see the shot coming. Ahmet Kutsi Onursay kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Kutay Ergüner managed to get in a good position for a shot. Serik's supporters rose to their feet, but Kutay Ergüner was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Meriç Eraslan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tuna İçöz charged in rather forcefully in the 15th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Tuna İçöz the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 15th minute, Tuna İçöz hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 16th minute, Serik's Kutay Ergüner dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 2-0. Kutay Ergüner's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Meriç Eraslan firmly grabbed it by the left post. A collision led to Tekman FK getting a freekick after 21 minutes play. Tuna İçöz hit a great ball. In the 27th minute, Özalp Ulutay 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. The Serik fans' excitement grew in the 28th match minute when Serik's Kutay Ergüner looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 3-0 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Erman Batüralp fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Meriç Eraslan having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 41st minute, Veysel Şerafeddin managed to get in a good position for a shot. Serik's supporters rose to their feet, but Veysel Şerafeddin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Meriç Eraslan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Özalp Ulutay was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 46th minute. Serik's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. The audience thought a goal was coming when Kutay Ergüner got free with Meriç Eraslan in the 47th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ahmet Kutsi Onursay stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After 51 minutes of play, Serik's Yaşar Nuri Çakıroğlu made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Meriç Eraslan was left in no man's land by his defense there! With a little luck, Serik's Rafettin Ekiner got control of the ball when Abbas İşkembeci tried to sneak it across the goal line. Meriç Eraslan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Yaşar Nuri Çakıroğlu in the 60th minute of the match. After having played for 63 minutes, Turabi Bozyiğit managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Serik's supporters crossed their fingers, but Turabi Bozyiğit was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Tekman FK's Meriç Eraslan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yaşar Nuri Çakıroğlu in the 65th minute of play. Gencer Arıhan's late challenge caught a Serik's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gencer Arıhan helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Tekman FK getting a freekick after 66 minutes play. Gencer Arıhan hit a great ball. 68 minutes into the match, Serik's goalkeeper Rafettin Ekiner had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Tuna İçöz. In the 70th minute Erman Batüralp shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Meriç Eraslan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 72 minutes, Kutay Ergüner made it 5-0 with a short kick to the right side. Tekman FK's Meriç Eraslan tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Meriç Eraslan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Yaşar Nuri Çakıroğlu in the 83rd minute of play. After a rather tough play, Tekman FK's Çetin Özdinçer got a free kick in the 84th minute. During the 87th minute of the match Tuna İçöz completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Tuna İçöz a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. The supporters of Serik booed when Tekman FK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 88 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tuna İçöz didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Serik's zone, Abbas İşkembeci stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rafettin Ekiner came out of the goal and Abbas İşkembeci tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 92 played minutes Serik got a freekick which was hit by Erman Batüralp. Serik's supporters were delighted with their team's performance and swarmed onto the pitch at the end of the match to celebrate the victory with the players.
