League Play-Off

Ciftlikköy Stadium
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ahmet Necdet Aktar took the kick off in the first half of the match. Niyazi Öztimur made a fantastic save in the 4th minute, when Yaşar Ahi sent off a good shot on target. In the 5th minute, Hilmi Yalınalp hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Yaşar Ahi was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 21st minute. Ciftlikköy FK's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Furkan Kutlug's late challenge caught a Kumru SK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Furkan Kutlug helped the player get up and apologised. In the 24th minute, Furkan Kutlug hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ahmet Necdet Aktar scored 0-1 in the 30th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Gani Yücelay, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 35th minute, Cahit Ağırtaş hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Sefa Mecit sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ahmet Necdet Aktar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gani Yücelay having to interfere. With an all-out effort, Ciftlikköy FK's Niyazi Öztimur threw himself towards the right post 45 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Alptuğ Özerman, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

In the 64th minute, Alptuğ Özerman 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. Gani Yücelay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ahmet Necdet Aktar, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Sefa Mecit had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 72nd minute, Yaşar Ahi managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ciftlikköy FK's supporters rose to their feet, but Yaşar Ahi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Niyazi Öztimur breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Kumru SK's Niyazi Öztimur played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Alptuğ Özerman in the 73rd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Yaşar Ahi in the 77th minute of play forced Kumru SK's goalkeeper Niyazi Öztimur to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 78th minute, Ahmet Necdet Aktar made a precise shot to the right of Gani Yücelay. Ciftlikköy FK's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-2. Niyazi Öztimur didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Alptuğ Özerman went, in the 83rd minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cahit Ağırtaş in the 87th minute of play forced Kumru SK's goalkeeper Niyazi Öztimur to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Gani Yücelay showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ahmet Necdet Aktar, who was totally free with the ball in the 95th minute. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Kumru SK walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
