Arsin Stadium
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Dinçer Torel kicked off to start the match. Zühtü Polathan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 3rd minute. Turgut Kutsan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Arda Ozan Kayrahan came out of the goal in the 7th minute to try and stop a shot by Arsin FK's Ulu Denizalp. But to his dismay, Ulu Denizalp quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. In the 12th match minute, Arsin FK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Halil Garipbaş to maneuver through the defense. The attack was good, but when Dinçer Torel in the 16th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Ulu Denizalp could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 18th minute of the match, but Arda Ozan Kayrahan made a huge save. In the 21st minute Halit Ziya Yavuzalp shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Turgut Kutsan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Sermet Nurbaki hit a great freekick 22 minutes into the match. After 30 played minutes Arsin FK got a freekick which was hit by Dinçer Torel. After a rather tough play, Arsin FK's Ruhi Torehan got a free kick in the 31st minute. Halit Ziya Yavuzalp took the ball and in the 32 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Turgut Kutsan. Turgut Kutsan dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. Halit Ziya Yavuzalp recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 37th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ceyhan JK's Halit Ziya Yavuzalp got a good chance for a goal in the 39th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Turgut Kutsan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Zühtü Polathan in the 40th minute of play. If Halit Ziya Yavuzalp had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Zühtü Polathan came up free with the goalie in the 44th minute, the Ceyhan JK 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 Zühtü Polathan couldn't finish the play. In the 45th match minute, Arsin FK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Andaç Muren to maneuver through the defense. Arda Ozan Kayrahan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Dinçer Torel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The wind increased when Halit Ziya Yavuzalp made the kick off in the second half. Ruhi Torehan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 53rd minute. Arda Ozan Kayrahan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Turgut Kutsan was a little too slow when Halit Ziya Yavuzalp got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 57th minute. The score was now 1-2. 61 minutes into the match, Ceyhan JK's Halit Ziya Yavuzalp sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Turgut Kutsan narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Zühtü Polathan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Turgut Kutsan having to interfere. In the 74th minute Dinçer Torel shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arda Ozan Kayrahan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Dinçer Torel in the 76th minute of play forced Ceyhan JK's goalkeeper Arda Ozan Kayrahan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ceyhan JK's Zühtü Polathan got a good chance for a goal in the 79th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 82 minutes, Zühtü Polathan made it 1-3 with a short kick to the right side. Arsin FK's Turgut Kutsan tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. After some careless play in the Ceyhan JK defense, Dinçer Torel kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Arda Ozan Kayrahan. The Ceyhan JK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Arda Ozan Kayrahan should have stopped the shot. Sermet Nurbaki's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Arda Ozan Kayrahan read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 90th minute of play. Turgut Kutsan was a little too slow when Halit Ziya Yavuzalp got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 96th minute. The score was now 2-4. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Ceyhan JK walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
