Kozyatagi Stadium
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Gökcan Suerkan made the kick off which started today's match. If Cevahir Acaralp had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After having played for 4 minutes, Gökcan Suerkan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kozyatagi's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gökcan Suerkan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Cevahir Acaralp fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gazi Kazanhan having to interfere. Sabit Toraman's late challenge caught a Kekova's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

The referee showed Kerem Kazakhan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Kekova booed when Kozyatagi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 21 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kerem Kazakhan didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 24th minute, Özmen Tanju left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Asım Yağızkurt was slow to take the kick. During this time Kekova's players had a chance to rest. The corner led Kekova's Asım Yağızkurt to fire away a dangerous shot which Fehmi Kocak despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. 33 minutes into the match, Kozyatagi's goal looked a bit too open when Özmen Tanju came free, but Fehmi Kocak reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
