League Play-Off

Istinye 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. Tugay Bahçıvan started the match with the kick off. Eray Özbir fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hüseyin Can Rasih having to interfere. When Tugay Bahçıvan fell near the penalty area in the 5th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ispir JK's protests and gave Tugay Bahçıvan a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Ispir JK getting a freekick after 5 minutes play. Tugay Bahçıvan hit a great ball. Hüseyin Can Rasih made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eray Özbir in the 9th minute of play. Hüseyin Can Rasih showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eray Özbir in the 14th minute of the match. After having played for 19 minutes, Tugay Bahçıvan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ispir JK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Tugay Bahçıvan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ispir JK's Osman Ali Baba got a good chance for a goal in the 25th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Tugay Bahçıvan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 27th minute. Aysan Ünan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 0-1 became the score in the 30th minute when Osman Ali Baba elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. In the 36th minute, Osman Ali Baba 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. In the 39th minute, Osman Ali Baba ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Aysan Ünan was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. After some careless play in the Istinye JK defense, Tugay Bahçıvan kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Aysan Ünan. The Istinye JK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Aysan Ünan should have stopped the shot. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Eray Özbir stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Ispir JK's Hüseyin Can Rasih played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Eray Özbir in the 62nd minute of play. Aysan Ünan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tugay Bahçıvan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 68th minute, Eray Uluant hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Berkant Okbudun fell near the penalty area in the 71st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ispir JK's protests and gave Berkant Okbudun a yellow card for diving instead. Berkant Okbudun kicked well hit freekick during the 71st minute of the match. If Tugay Bahçıvan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 74th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Celal Ateş recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 87th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 90th minute, Ali Nejat Sirer managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ispir JK's supporters rose to their feet, but Ali Nejat Sirer was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Aysan Ünan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Osman Ali Baba sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 94 minutes, Eray Uluant mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Istinye JK and the Ispir JK players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Istinye JK's Eray Uluant got a free kick in the 94th minute. Meriç Gezer, 95 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal.
