League Play-Off

Bahcelievler Stadium
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. Atıf Cihanser started the match with the kick off. Hasan İlbeyi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Elazig JK's Baran Tüzel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kamil Özerkmen in the 14th minute of play. 16 minutes into the match, Atıf Cihanser notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Bahcelievler JK's Emir Gülerce. Emir Gülerce was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Atıf Cihanser scored 0-2 in the 20th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Emir Gülerce, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. When Ahmet Hamdi Aytolun fell near the penalty area in the 23rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bahcelievler JK's protests and gave Ahmet Hamdi Aytolun a yellow card for diving instead. After recieving a nice pass, Elazig JK's Oğuzer Özgunes tried to score from far away in the 24th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Atıf Cihanser's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Emir Gülerce read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 30th minute of play. In the 30th minute, Baskın Uçanok hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Raşit Bala came up free with the goalie in the 33rd minute, the Elazig JK 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 Raşit Bala couldn't finish the play. If Atıf Cihanser had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Emir Gülerce showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Raşit Bala in the 49th minute of the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Kamil Özerkmen to make the kick off. Baran Tüzel took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kamil Özerkmen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 55 minutes into the match, Hasan İlbeyi notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Elazig JK's Baran Tüzel. Baran Tüzel was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Gazanfer Yürükoğlu charged in rather forcefully in the 58th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Gazanfer Yürükoğlu the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Gazanfer Yürükoğlu kicked well hit freekick during the 58th minute of the match. In the 63rd match minute, Bahcelievler JK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Emirşah Eryiğit to maneuver through the defense. Emir Gülerce showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Atıf Cihanser in the 73rd minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hasan İlbeyi in the 77th minute of play forced Elazig JK's goalkeeper Baran Tüzel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Elazig JK's Gazanfer Yürükoğlu got a free kick in the 83rd minute. The audience thought a goal was coming when Raşit Bala got free with Emir Gülerce in the 87th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After 87 minutes, Samet Sayraç mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Elazig JK and the Bahcelievler JK players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 88 played minutes Elazig JK got a freekick which was hit by Samet Sayraç. Baran Tüzel stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Kamil Özerkmen's shot from short distance in the 91st minute. Kamil Özerkmen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 93rd minute. Baran Tüzel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 94 played minutes Elazig JK got a freekick which was hit by Ahmet Çağrı Şakib. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Elazig JK eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
