League Play-Off

Altinova
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. Tunç Balım started the match with the kick off. In the 3rd minute, Vefa Rezzak ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Battal Erkılıç was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. Yavuz Selim Cevizoğlu was extremely unlucky when he, in the 10th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. After 11 minutes of play, Altinova's Vefa Rezzak made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Battal Erkılıç was left in no man's land by his defense there! Battal Erkılıç made an important save on a dangerous shot by Vefa Rezzak in the 15th minute. 25 minutes in the game Tan Semir did a throw-in, and the ball was quickly in game thanks to Hüseyin Can Tengiroğlu. After 25 minutes, Birdal Uğur mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Altinova and the Galatasaray FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 25th minute, Birdal Uğur hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Battal Erkılıç showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Yavuz Selim Cevizoğlu in the 28th minute of the match. Abdurrahman Safa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hüseyin Can Tengiroğlu, who was totally free with the ball in the 29th minute. Vefa Rezzak recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Yavuz Selim Cevizoğlu's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Battal Erkılıç read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 33rd minute of play. In the 34th play minute Vefa Rezzak came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Battal Erkılıç. 3-0. If Vefa Rezzak had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 46th minute Tunç Balım shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abdurrahman Safa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 46 minutes into the game, Alpay Tolgay cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-1. Abdurrahman Safa was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Vefa Rezzak made a kick off. Tunç Balım sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 65th minute, Vefa Rezzak left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Altinova fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 4-1. Vefa Rezzak received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Battal Erkılıç tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Kahraman Bostan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Battal Erkılıç having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Vefa Rezzak in the 73rd minute of play forced Galatasaray FC's goalkeeper Battal Erkılıç to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Cenk Sağlamer charged in rather forcefully in the 73rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Cenk Sağlamer the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Cenk Sağlamer hit a great freekick 74 minutes into the match. Galatasaray FC's Battal Erkılıç played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kahraman Bostan in the 76th minute of play. In the 80thth minute of the game Kahraman Bostan who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Galatasaray FC's Battal Erkılıç was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Vefa Rezzak hit a great freekick 81 minutes into the match. 83 minutes into the game, Vefa Rezzak was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Altinova's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Galatasaray FC the free kick. After 83 played minutes Altinova got a freekick which was hit by Vefa Rezzak. Kahraman Bostan received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Battal Erkılıç tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Altinova fully deserved thier win.
