League Play-Off

Kuzguncuk 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. Gökcan Şehzat started the match with the kick off. In the 4th minute, Cemal Hazar hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Kazım Ulucağ recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 6th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 7 minutes of play, Kuzguncuk's Kazım Ulucağ made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Peker Dalokay was left in no man's land by his defense there! After having played for 15 minutes, Alper Serkut managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kuzguncuk's supporters crossed their fingers, but Alper Serkut was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. With a little luck, Baltalimani's Peker Dalokay got control of the ball when Kazım Ulucağ tried to sneak it across the goal line. Peker Dalokay showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Alper Serkut in the 24th minute of the match. Osman Birsan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 27th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ahmet Bülent Eldem having to interfere. The supporters of Kuzguncuk booed when Baltalimani was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 28 match minutes in a wonderful position. Yüksel Urangu didn't get a good kick on the ball. Kazım Ulucağ came free with the goalkeeper in the 30th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Peker Dalokay could save by the left post. If Gökcan Şehzat had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gökcan Şehzat's late challenge caught a Kuzguncuk's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Gökcan Şehzat helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Baltalimani getting a freekick after 34 minutes play. Gökcan Şehzat hit a great ball. Kazım Ulucağs short, quick shot in the 35thth minute got Peker Dalokay to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Kazım Ulucağ might have been able to make a better finish in the 37th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Peker Dalokay. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Kazım Ulucağ ran back to his position shaking his head. The referee gave Kuzguncuk a penalty, 41 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Kaptan Ural, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Baltalimani's Peker Dalokay. 2-0. In the 44th minute the ball was on its way in behind Baltalimani's goalkeeper Peker Dalokay, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Af the end of the first half the score was 2-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Alper Serkut stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in Kuzguncuk's zone, Osman Birsan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ahmet Bülent Eldem came out of the goal and Osman Birsan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Gökcan Şehzat struck a weak shot in the 57th minute. Ahmet Bülent Eldem didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Baltalimani. An unexpectedly hard shot by Gökcan Şehzat in the 59th minute of play forced Kuzguncuk's goalkeeper Ahmet Bülent Eldem to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ahmet Bülent Eldem took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gökcan Şehzat, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 75 minutes into the match, Kuzguncuk's goalkeeper Ahmet Bülent Eldem had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Osman Birsan. An unexpectedly hard shot by Alper Serkut in the 77th minute of play forced Baltalimani's goalkeeper Peker Dalokay to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Alper Serkut received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 83rd minute. Peker Dalokay tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 90th minute, Gökcan Şehzat managed to get in a good position for a shot. Baltalimani's supporters rose to their feet, but Gökcan Şehzat was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ahmet Bülent Eldem breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 93 minutes into the match, Kuzguncuk's Kazım Ulucağ sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Peker Dalokay narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
