Edeler Arena
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Aktan Yenay made the kick off which started today's match. When Şeray Yaruk came up free with the goalie in the 3rd minute, the Akrepsporu 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 Şeray Yaruk couldn't finish the play. In the 21st minute Bilge Ozan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Halil İbrahim Temizkan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Şeray Yaruk had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 26 minutes into the match, FC Maraş A. Ş.'s goal looked a bit too open when Hidayet Ülgenalp came free, but Halil İbrahim Temizkan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 31 minutes into the game, Bilge Ozan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Akrepsporu's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Maraş A. Ş. the free kick. After 31 played minutes Akrepsporu got a freekick which was hit by Bilge Ozan. In the 32nd minute, Behram Demirbaş sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Akrepsporu's Kutluay Özbek didn't even have to move. In the 37th minute, Şeray Yaruk 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. Halil İbrahim Temizkan made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Şeray Yaruk in the 40th minute of play. Kutluay Özbek took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Aktan Yenay, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After having played for 44 minutes, Aktan Yenay managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Maraş A. Ş.'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Aktan Yenay was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Bilge Ozan was shown his second yellow card after 47 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

After some fancy dribbling in the 56th minute, Hidayet Ülgenalp managed to get in a good position for a shot. Akrepsporu's supporters rose to their feet, but Hidayet Ülgenalp was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Halil İbrahim Temizkan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Hidayet Ülgenalp struck a weak shot in the 58th minute. Halil İbrahim Temizkan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Akrepsporu. In the 61st minute, Nedim Ruhsan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Aktan Yenay's late challenge caught a Akrepsporu's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Aktan Yenay helped the player get up and apologised. Aktan Yenay kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match. Kutluay Özbek showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Aktan Yenay, who was totally free with the ball in the 70th minute. The supporters of Akrepsporu booed when FC Maraş A. Ş. was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 74 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ahmet Kağan Ereken didn't get a good kick on the ball. Hidayet Ülgenalp's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Halil İbrahim Temizkan read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 77th minute of play. In the 77th minute, Ahmet Kağan Ereken hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Kutluay Özbek made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Aktan Yenay in the 86th minute of play. Ahmet Kağan Ereken recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 87th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Akrepsporu's Hidayet Ülgenalp got a good chance for a goal in the 96th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The Akrepsporu players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented FC Maraş A. Ş. from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
