League Play-Off

ERZURUM ARENA
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Başaran Ünan took the kick off in the first half of the match. Songurbey Özkent took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Başaran Ünan, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Seyrani Yalgın showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abay Umar in the 6th minute of the match. Seyrani Yalgın stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Abay Umar's shot from short distance in the 15th minute. Abay Umar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Seyrani Yalgın tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Seyrani Yalgın made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tolga Bozer in the 21st minute of play. Songurbey Özkent was out of position in the 22 minute of play, and Başaran Ünan capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Başaran Ünan really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. After 31 minutes of play, Kinik's Abay Umar made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Seyrani Yalgın was left in no man's land by his defense there! 38 minutes into the match, İNADINAERZURUMSPOR's goal looked a bit too open when Tolga Bozer came free, but Seyrani Yalgın reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Abay Umar to make the kick off. Mürsel Boranalp kicked well hit freekick during the 52nd minute of the match. Tolga Bozer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Seyrani Yalgın having to interfere. When Tolga Bozer came up free with the goalie in the 62nd minute, the Kinik 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 Tolga Bozer couldn't finish the play. Başaran Ünan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 67th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 69 played minutes Kinik got a freekick which was hit by Osman Nuri Kaya. After 70 played minutes, İNADINAERZURUMSPOR's Korcan Ufki shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Songurbey Özkent came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in İNADINAERZURUMSPOR reached it. Seyrani Yalgın didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Abay Umar went, in the 72nd minute, to the upper right corner, 1-3 was the resulting score. Tolga Bozer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Seyrani Yalgın having to interfere. 80 minutes into the match, Abay Umar dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Seyrani Yalgın, 1-4. Abay Umar was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 90th minute. Kinik's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance.
