League Play-Off

Karahalli
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Nazmi Zaik took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Hurşit Tokuş fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Esrefhoca's protests and gave Hurşit Tokuş a yellow card for diving instead. In the 3rd match minute, Esrefhoca was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hurşit Tokuş to maneuver through the defense. Can Yusuf didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Kürşat Özsahin went, in the 10th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Nazmi Zaik's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Can Yusuf read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 13th minute of play. Can Yusuf showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nazmi Zaik in the 15th minute of the match.

With a little luck, Esrefhoca's Asım Arif Oğuralp got control of the ball when Alpay Vaha tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 30th minute, Haşmet Onural hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 32nd minute, Kürşat Özsahin left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Esrefhoca fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. When Nazmi Zaik came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the Esrefhoca 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 Nazmi Zaik couldn't finish the play. In the 46thth minute of the game Nazmi Zaik who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Karahalli's Can Yusuf was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.
