League Play-Off

Meram
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Uğuralp Aygüneş kicked off to start the match. Seyit Acaroğlu stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Aykut Çolak's shot from short distance in the 4th minute. Doğuhan Işıldar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Seyit Acaroğlu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 10 minutes, Aykut Çolak made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Meram JK's Seyit Acaroğlu tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Seyit Acaroğlu took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Aykut Çolak, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Doğuhan Işıldar scored 0-2 in the 28th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Seyit Acaroğlu, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Doğuhan Işıldar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Aykut Çolak sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

The wind increased when Aykut Çolak made the kick off in the second half. 66 minutes had been played when some careless play by Meram JK's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Yahya Kemal Sümeroğlu was slow to take the kick. During this time Osmaneli's players had a chance to rest. The corner led Osmaneli's Yahya Kemal Sümeroğlu to fire away a dangerous shot which Seyit Acaroğlu despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Doğuhan Işıldar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Seyit Acaroğlu having to interfere. 71 minutes into the game, Aykut Çolak cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-3. Seyit Acaroğlu was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After 75 played minutes Osmaneli got a freekick which was hit by Arif Nihat Şamil. If Mustafa İzzet İpçi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Uğuralp Aygüneş's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Bilgin Kayıboylu was relentless in the 78th minute of the game. 80 minutes into the game, Aykut Çolak lined in a short shot 0-4 behind a frustrated Seyit Acaroğlu. An unexpectedly hard shot by Doğuhan Işıldar in the 84th minute of play forced Meram JK's goalkeeper Seyit Acaroğlu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A well-hit corner resulted in Halim Remiz heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. After a defensive mix-up in Meram JK's zone, Arif Nihat Şamil stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Seyit Acaroğlu came out of the goal and Arif Nihat Şamil tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Ahmet Orhan Akkaş had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 92nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Meram JK's goalkeeper Seyit Acaroğlu, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Hasan Tahsin Gündüz during the 93rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A collision led to Meram JK getting a freekick after 93 minutes play. Hasan Tahsin Gündüz hit a great ball. Osmaneli's Bilgin Kayıboylu played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mustafa İzzet İpçi in the 96th minute of play. When the match was over Osmaneli could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Meram JK throughout the match.
