League Play-Off

Zeytinburnu
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Seyfi Mirac took the kick off in the first half of the match. After 6 minutes of play, Zeytinburnu FK's Akgün Gözlem made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Talha Durualp was left in no man's land by his defense there! When the match had gone on for 17 minutes, Ömer Tankut put it in 1-1 from a short distance just to the right of Yüksel Mithat. 21 minutes into the match, Ömer Tankut notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Zeytinburnu FK's Yüksel Mithat. Yüksel Mithat was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Ömer Tankut sent away a hard shot on goal in the 24th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Yüksel Mithat came out of the goal in the 26th minute to try and stop a shot by Tokat's Ömer Tankut. But to his dismay, Ömer Tankut quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-3. Aybek Oruz kicked well hit freekick during the 30th minute of the match. 32 minutes into the match, Zeytinburnu FK's goal looked a bit too open when Okan Tekiner came free, but Yüksel Mithat reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 36 minutes into the match, Zeytinburnu FK's Akgün Gözlem sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Talha Durualp narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Zeytinburnu FK's zone, Okan Tekiner stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Yüksel Mithat came out of the goal and Okan Tekiner tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A collision led to Zeytinburnu FK getting a freekick after 43 minutes play. Polat Demren hit a great ball. When Ömer Tankut, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 48 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Yüksel Mithat was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-3 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ömer Tankut to make the kick off. The audience thought a goal was coming when Okan Tekiner got free with Yüksel Mithat in the 53rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 53 played minutes Zeytinburnu FK got a freekick which was hit by Polat Demren. In the 55th minute, Okan Tekiner 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. Zeytinburnu FK's Yüksel Mithat proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 61st minute of the match, managed to save Zeytinburnu FK from getting a goal against them. With a little luck, Zeytinburnu FK's Yüksel Mithat got control of the ball when Okan Tekiner tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 76th minute Seyfi Mirac shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Talha Durualp saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Efekan Zağanos came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the Zeytinburnu FK fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Efekan Zağanos couldn't finish the play. Zeytinburnu FK's Efekan Zağanos suffered a concussion in the 89th minute, after a hard challenge, and had to leave the field. 89 minutes into the game, Sabri Umay was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Tokat's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Zeytinburnu FK the free kick. If Akgün Gözlem had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Tokat had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
