Nigde Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Bozyazi's Atabek Özak started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Demirhan Zahit made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ahmet Çağrı Nuri in the 11th minute. Demirhan Zahit stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Tamer Hasanoğlu's shot from short distance in the 12th minute. In the 14th minute Atabek Özak shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Karahan Dilşah saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 15 minutes into the game, Kutlay Memduh cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Demirhan Zahit was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a defensive mix-up in Bozyazi's zone, Kutlay Memduh stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Demirhan Zahit came out of the goal and Kutlay Memduh tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Kutlay Memduh fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Demirhan Zahit having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Semail Akartuna in the 25th minute of play forced Bozyazi's goalkeeper Demirhan Zahit to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 27 minutes, Semail Akartuna managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Chelsea's supporters crossed their fingers, but Semail Akartuna was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Kutlay Memduh came up free with the goalie in the 29th minute, the Chelsea 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 Kutlay Memduh couldn't finish the play. After 37 minutes, Semail Akartuna mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Chelsea and the Bozyazi players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 39th minute, Kutlay Memduh 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. In the 41st minute the ball was on its way in behind Bozyazi's goalkeeper Demirhan Zahit, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 42 minutes into the match, Bozyazi's goal looked a bit too open when Semail Akartuna came free, but Demirhan Zahit reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Tamer Hasanoğlu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Kutlay Memduh sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 47 minutes into the match, Bozyazi's goal looked a bit too open when Semail Akartuna came free, but Demirhan Zahit reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Kutlay Memduh stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, Kutlay Memduh had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Demirhan Zahit. Bozyazi's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Kutlay Memduh was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0.

After 58 played minutes Bozyazi got a freekick which was hit by Battal Cüneyt Er. Tamer Hasanoğlu struck a weak shot in the 63rd minute. Demirhan Zahit didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Chelsea. Demirhan Zahit came out of the goal in the 66th minute to try and stop a shot by Chelsea's Tamer Hasanoğlu. But to his dismay, Tamer Hasanoğlu quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-0. Demirhan Zahit made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kutlay Memduh in the 69th minute of play. In the 70th minute the ball was on its way in behind Chelsea's goalkeeper Karahan Dilşah, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

After 90 minutes of play, Chelsea's Kutlay Memduh made it 4-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Demirhan Zahit was left in no man's land by his defense there! After 94 played minutes Chelsea got a freekick which was hit by Tamer Hasanoğlu. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Chelsea had played much better football throughout.
