League Play-Off

Afyon Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Seçkin Çalımbay took the kick off in the first half of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 4th minute, Ant Mensur managed to get in a good position for a shot. Afyon's supporters rose to their feet, but Ant Mensur was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Yetkin Keskin breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Celalettin Vecihi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yetkin Keskin having to interfere. With a little luck, Dumlupinar's Yetkin Keskin got control of the ball when Celalettin Vecihi tried to sneak it across the goal line. Celalettin Vecihi was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 21st minute. Afyon's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 23rd minute, Ant Mensur fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Yetkin Keskin, passed just outside the right post. After having played for 24 minutes, Celalettin Vecihi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Afyon's supporters crossed their fingers, but Celalettin Vecihi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Hafız Başesgioğlu came up free with the goalie in the 31st minute, the Dumlupinar 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 Hafız Başesgioğlu couldn't finish the play. Dumlupinar's Hafız Başesgioğlu got a good chance for a goal in the 33rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Seçkin Çalımbay struck a weak shot in the 34th minute. Barışcan Uzman didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Dumlupinar. Barışcan Uzman showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hafız Başesgioğlu in the 39th minute of the match. In the 42nd minute, Hafız Başesgioğlu made a precise shot to the right of Barışcan Uzman. Afyon's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. After a defensive mix-up in Afyon's zone, Seçkin Çalımbay stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Barışcan Uzman came out of the goal and Seçkin Çalımbay tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The wind increased when Ant Mensur made the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, Afyon's Ant Mensur sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Yetkin Keskin narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Hafız Başesgioğlu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 64th minute. Barışcan Uzman tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Celalettin Vecihi in the 66th minute of play forced Dumlupinar's goalkeeper Yetkin Keskin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Seçkin Çalımbay received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 67th minute. Barışcan Uzman 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 Habib Şemseddin during the 69th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Barışcan Uzman made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Seçkin Çalımbay in the 71st minute of play. After 76 played minutes, Dumlupinar's Yavuz Bülent Dönmez shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Barışcan Uzman came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Dumlupinar reached it. Barışcan Uzman acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 79th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Mehmet Osman Korucu. 82 minutes into the game, Ant Mensur cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Yetkin Keskin was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. A collision led to Afyon getting a freekick after 91 minutes play. Hüsmen Semail hit a great ball. 92 minutes into the match, Dumlupinar's Mehmet Emre Erol broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
