Uzundere Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) 3 minutes into the game, Nurettin Yaruk was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Karagümrük JK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Uzundere FK the free kick. In a very dangerous position, a player in Karagümrük JK fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 2nd minute. Penalty! The referee gave Uzundere FK a penalty, 4 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Tugay Hezarfen, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Karagümrük JK's Oğuzhan Haspolatlı. 1-0. In the 9th minute Saltuk Ateşoğlu shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Batur Eyüpoğlu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Tugay Hezarfen hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. Erdoğan Birge was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 12th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Kayhan Sarih received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Oğuzhan Haspolatlı came out and tried to block the shot, but Kayhan Sarih slotted it home off the left post making it 2-0 in the 20th minute. Oğuzhan Haspolatlı was out of position in the 23 minute of play, and Kayhan Sarih capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Kayhan Sarih really showed his touch with that goal: 3-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kayhan Sarih in the 27th minute of play forced Karagümrük JK's goalkeeper Oğuzhan Haspolatlı to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Batı Demircan who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 29thth minute tested the skills of Oğuzhan Haspolatlı when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Kayhan Sarih sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Çelebi Suerkan might have been able to make a better finish in the 33rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Batur Eyüpoğlu. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Çelebi Suerkan ran back to his position shaking his head. 33 minutes into the match, Uzundere FK's goal looked a bit too open when Saltuk Ateşoğlu came free, but Batur Eyüpoğlu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Oğuzhan Haspolatlı acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 38th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Şensoy Yönet. If Kayhan Sarih had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Saltuk Ateşoğlu in the 44th minute of play forced Uzundere FK's goalkeeper Batur Eyüpoğlu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Seyhan Eker struck a weak shot in the 45th minute. Oğuzhan Haspolatlı didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Uzundere FK. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-0.

The wind increased when Kayhan Sarih made the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in Uzundere FK's zone, Çelebi Suerkan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Batur Eyüpoğlu came out of the goal and Çelebi Suerkan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 56thth minute of the game Batı Demircan who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Karagümrük JK's Oğuzhan Haspolatlı was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Kayhan Sarih scored 4-0 in the 62nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Oğuzhan Haspolatlı, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Oğuzhan Haspolatlı made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kayhan Sarih in the 65th minute of play. Çelebi Suerkan could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 67th minute of the match, but Batur Eyüpoğlu made a huge save. In the 68th minute the ball was on its way in behind Uzundere FK's goalkeeper Batur Eyüpoğlu, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Saltuk Ateşoğlu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 71st minute. Batur Eyüpoğlu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 73 played minutes Uzundere FK got a freekick which was hit by Seyhan Eker. 77 minutes into the game, Uğurcan Yağızalp was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Uzundere FK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Karagümrük JK the free kick. In the 79th minute there was a penalty for Karagümrük JK. Erdoğan Birge stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Batur Eyüpoğlu. 4-1. Uzundere FK's Batur Eyüpoğlu played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Saltuk Ateşoğlu in the 82nd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Saltuk Ateşoğlu in the 88th minute of play forced Uzundere FK's goalkeeper Batur Eyüpoğlu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 91st minute, Şensoy Yönet hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Genco İbrahimoğlu sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Uzundere FK's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
