League Play-Off

Kurtalan
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, 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. Mustafa Haydar Ruzi started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, Kurtalan's goal looked a bit too open when Yavuzalp Aktaşoğlu came free, but Doğa Tulum reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The supporters of Safranbolu SK booed when Kurtalan was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 7 match minutes in a wonderful position. Yetkin Kalgay didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some careless play in the Kurtalan defense, Mustafa Oğuz Sağan kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Doğa Tulum. The Kurtalan fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Doğa Tulum should have stopped the shot. Rafet Uğurcan was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 19th minute. Kurtalan's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Kurtalan's Doğa Tulum played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mustafa Oğuz Sağan in the 23rd minute of play. Doğa Tulum didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Mustafa Oğuz Sağan went, in the 23rd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. 28 minutes into the match, Yavuzalp Aktaşoğlu had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Doğa Tulum. Kurtalan's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Yavuzalp Aktaşoğlu was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. Yavuzalp Aktaşoğlu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 33rd minute. Doğa Tulum tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Mustafa Oğuz Sağan had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 34th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mustafa Oğuz Sağan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Doğa Tulum having to interfere. In the 45th minute, Mustafa Oğuz Sağan 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. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-3 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mustafa Oğuz Sağan to make the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mustafa Haydar Ruzi in the 51st minute of play forced Safranbolu SK's goalkeeper Armağan Hekimhanlı to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When the match had gone on for 56 minutes, Mustafa Haydar Ruzi put it in 1-3 from a short distance just to the right of Armağan Hekimhanlı. Mustafa Haydar Ruzi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Armağan Hekimhanlı tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mustafa Haydar Ruzi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Armağan Hekimhanlı tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Yavuzalp Aktaşoğlu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Doğa Tulum tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Batı Bekdil during the 83rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A collision led to Kurtalan getting a freekick after 83 minutes play. Batı Bekdil hit a great ball. Armağan Hekimhanlı showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mustafa Haydar Ruzi, who was totally free with the ball in the 90th minute. Mustafa Haydar Ruzi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Armağan Hekimhanlı having to interfere. When the match was over Safranbolu SK could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Kurtalan throughout the match.
