League Play-Off

Arakli
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The audience was convinced that Ejder Suel's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Akif İlke was relentless in the 3rd minute of the game. The crowd rose to their feet as Ejder Suel kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Akif İlke. That made the score 1-0 in the 5 minute of play. 10 minutes into the match, Ejder Suel had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Akif İlke. Özvatan FK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ejder Suel was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0. In the 18th minute, Reha Sirri hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 22 minutes into the match, Özvatan FK's Nebi Uçkun sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Peyami İlyas narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Arakli JK's İldeniz Yersel shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 27th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Akif İlke but with some difficulty. Fırat Ünal took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 29th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Akif İlke. Özvatan FK's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. A collision led to Arakli JK getting a freekick after 31 minutes play. Bektaş Veli Hendekli hit a great ball. 36 minutes into the game, Fadıl Cansal was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Özvatan FK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Arakli JK the free kick. After 36 played minutes Özvatan FK got a freekick which was hit by Fadıl Cansal. Suphi Yaruks short, quick shot in the 37thth minute got Akif İlke to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Suphi Yaruk received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Akif İlke tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Suphi Yaruk might have been able to make a better finish in the 47th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Akif İlke. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Suphi Yaruk ran back to his position shaking his head.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Nebi Uçkun stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute, Ejder Suel ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Akif İlke was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-0. After a defensive mix-up in Özvatan FK's zone, Ejder Suel stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Akif İlke came out of the goal and Ejder Suel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Akif İlke took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Suphi Yaruk, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 65th minute, Nebi Uçkun 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. Arakli JK's Peyami İlyas played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nebi Uçkun in the 69th minute of play. Ejder Suel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute. Akif İlke tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Suphi Yaruk had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 79th minute, Nebi Uçkun managed to get in a good position for a shot. Özvatan FK's supporters rose to their feet, but Nebi Uçkun was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Peyami İlyas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Ejder Suel struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Akif İlke didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Arakli JK. If Ejder Suel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Suphi Yaruk recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 88th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Özvatan FK's zone, Suphi Yaruk stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Akif İlke came out of the goal and Suphi Yaruk tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ejder Suel fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Akif İlke having to interfere. Arakli JK were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Özvatan FK for a fine match.
