League Play-Off

Topkapi
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. Alpertunga Özakıncı started the match with the kick off. If Alpertunga Özakıncı had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Alpertunga Özakıncı fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abidin Beyazit having to interfere. Bedirhan Akbayrak struck a weak shot in the 12th minute. Ahmet Rıfat Zeval didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Korkut. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ferhan Şemsifer got free with Abidin Beyazit in the 16th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Bedirhan Akbayrak fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ahmet Rıfat Zeval having to interfere. Alpertunga Özakıncı recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 23rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ahmet Rıfat Zeval made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tan Samil in the 28th minute of play. 32 minutes into the match, Topkapi's goal looked a bit too open when Bedirhan Akbayrak came free, but Ahmet Rıfat Zeval reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 35 played minutes Topkapi got a freekick which was hit by Kurtuluş Eren. Korkut's Abidin Beyazit proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 42nd minute of the match, managed to save Korkut from getting a goal against them. In the 48th minute Alpertunga Özakıncı shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abidin Beyazit saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Bedirhan Akbayrak stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 56th minute Korkut were awarded a corner. Ahmet Reha Sehrud went to the cornerflag to take it. After 59 played minutes Topkapi got a freekick which was hit by Cenap Kayrahan. Tan Samil took the ball and in the 62 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ahmet Rıfat Zeval. Ahmet Rıfat Zeval dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Ferhan Şemsifer recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 68th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Alpertunga Özakıncı's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Abidin Beyazit read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 70th minute of play. Ferhan Şemsifer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 73rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abidin Beyazit having to interfere. 75 minutes into the match, Bedirhan Akbayrak dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Ahmet Rıfat Zeval, 0-2. After 80 minutes, Nuri Altınpınar mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Topkapi and the Korkut players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Korkut booed when Topkapi was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 95 match minutes in a wonderful position. Nuri Altınpınar didn't get a good kick on the ball. A hard shot by Ahmet Reha Sehrud from long distance, 97 minutes into the match, got Ahmet Rıfat Zeval's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side.
