League Play-Off

Menderes Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Metin Umay started the match with the kick off. After 5 minutes of play, HolomanaSpor's Metin Umay made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Tayfun Baloğlu was left in no man's land by his defense there! Mümtaz Batırhan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 8th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tayfun Baloğlu having to interfere. In the 9th minute, one of Menderes:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Menderes. Metin Umay struck a weak shot in the 13th minute. Tayfun Baloğlu didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for HolomanaSpor. After 20 minutes of play, HolomanaSpor's Metin Umay made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Batıkan Sözmen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ahmet Erdem Taş received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 33rd minute. Tayfun Baloğlu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Metin Umay came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the HolomanaSpor 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 Metin Umay couldn't finish the play. HolomanaSpor's Diogenis Mendrinos played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ali Vedat Aydemir in the 38th minute of play.

One of HolomanaSpor:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Menderes:s goal. The first half was very even, with the score at 3-3 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Ali Vedat Aydemir kicked well hit freekick during the 56th minute of the match. Kuzey Cemre hit a great freekick 57 minutes into the match.

In the 63rd minute, one of HolomanaSpor:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for HolomanaSpor. Lamine Jeanneret was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 79th minute. HolomanaSpor's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 82nd minute, Mümtaz Batırhan 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. Ahmet Erdem Taş received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 90th minute. Tayfun Baloğlu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 92 minutes, Mümtaz Batırhan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. HolomanaSpor's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mümtaz Batırhan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ahmet Erdem Taş sent away a hard shot on goal in the 93rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Ahmet Erdem Taş had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

Tayfun Baloğlu showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ahmet Erdem Taş, who was totally free with the ball in the 99th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Menderes's zone, Ahmet Erdem Taş stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Tayfun Baloğlu came out of the goal and Ahmet Erdem Taş tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the referee blew the final whistle, Menderes could leave the field as winners, despite HolomanaSpor having more of the ball for most of the match.
