MEYDAN ARENA
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Semavi Avşar took the kick off in the first half of the match. When the match had gone on for 5 minutes, İlyas Tanzer took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Ahmet Koralp İltay to make any attempt to save it. With a little luck, Uludere SK's Ahmet Koralp İltay got control of the ball when Özen Ubeydullah tried to sneak it across the goal line. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ensar Tuğsavan during the 9th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Özen Ubeydullah hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. Fazıl Aktay made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rahim Sanal in the 12th minute of play. Rahim Sanal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. 19 minutes into the match, Hüseyin Can Özonder notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of ELpatron's Fazıl Aktay. Fazıl Aktay was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 23rd minute, Hüseyin Can Özonder 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 25th minute Rahim Sanal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fazıl Aktay saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

In the 28th minute, Rahim Sanal 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. Hüseyin Can Özonder sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.

Uludere SK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave ELpatron the free kick. In the 33rd minute Semavi Avşar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ahmet Koralp İltay saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Semavi Avşar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ahmet Koralp İltay having to interfere. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Semavi Avşar might have been able to make a better finish in the 56th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ahmet Koralp İltay. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Semavi Avşar ran back to his position shaking his head. Özen Ubeydullah's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ahmet Koralp İltay read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 57th minute of play. Semavi Avşar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 60th minute Özen Ubeydullah shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ahmet Koralp İltay saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 68 minutes into the match, Uludere SK's goal looked a bit too open when Özen Ubeydullah came free, but Ahmet Koralp İltay reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet as Hüseyin Can Özonder kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Fazıl Aktay. That made the score 1-2 in the 69 minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 76th minute, Semavi Avşar managed to get in a good position for a shot. ELpatron's supporters rose to their feet, but Semavi Avşar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ahmet Koralp İltay breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Rahim Sanal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Rahim Sanal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 89 minutes into the game, ELpatron's Semavi Avşar nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Ahmet Koralp İltay made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-2.
