Bartin
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Fikret Uzay kicked off to start the match. After having played for 5 minutes, Berat Belge managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sabri SK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Berat Belge was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Fethi Öktem came out of the goal in the 15th minute to try and stop a shot by Sabri SK's Melih Cevdet Ertaş. But to his dismay, Melih Cevdet Ertaş quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. When Enis Yildıran fell near the penalty area in the 18th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bartin's protests and gave Enis Yildıran a yellow card for diving instead. In the 18th minute, Enis Yildıran hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 22nd minute, Fikret Uzay fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Aras Karaalp, passed just outside the right post.

A very good chance. 29 minutes into the game, Berat Belge cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Fethi Öktem was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. When Ahmet Emir Bağışhan came up free with the goalie in the 32nd minute, the Bartin 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 Ahmet Emir Bağışhan couldn't finish the play. With his leg Aras Karaalp managed to avoid a goal in the 36thth minute, when Bartin's Acun Balım fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. The audience thought a goal was coming when Acun Balım got free with Aras Karaalp in the 39th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Aras Karaalp took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Fikret Uzay, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Fikret Uzay's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Aras Karaalp read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 43rd minute of play.
