Imranli Stadium
Spectators: 33 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Zülfikar Tekinalp started the match with the kick off. Florya FK's Besim Erkinay played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ataol Özbas in the 4th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Florya FK's Kutluay Talayman got a free kick in the 5th minute.

Zülfikar Tekinalp received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 12th minute. Fetih Kolçak tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ali Vedat Hadim took the ball and in the 18 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Besim Erkinay.

When the match clock showed 28 minutes, the score became 2-0 when Ataol Özbas sped through Florya FK's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Besim Erkinay. Ataol Özbas charged in rather forcefully in the 32nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ataol Özbas the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Imranli getting a freekick after 32 minutes play. Ataol Özbas hit a great ball. Faruk Nafiz Ezgü sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. If Sarp Tokuşhan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 2-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ataol Özbas to make the kick off. 2-1 became the score in the 52nd minute when Sarp Tokuşhan elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. A collision led to Imranli getting a freekick after 58 minutes play. Basri Mürşit hit a great ball. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Zülfikar Tekinalp in the 65th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Fetih Kolçak prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Esat Şahin was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 69th minute. Florya FK's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Fetih Kolçak showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Zülfikar Tekinalp in the 70th minute of the match. Ali Vedat Hadim sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

A collision led to Florya FK getting a freekick after 84 minutes play. Behzat İşbilir hit a great ball. 85 minutes into the match, Imranli's Edip Sirer broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After having played for 90 minutes, Ataol Özbas managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Imranli's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ataol Özbas was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Fetih Kolçak made a fantastic save in the 92nd minute, when Sarp Tokuşhan sent off a good shot on target. In the 94th minute Kutay Oymen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Besim Erkinay saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Imranli fully deserved thier win.
