Kalfat Arena
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Selim Akdemir took the kick off in the first half of the match. After some careless play in the KALFAT SK defense, Selim Akdemir kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Dorukhan Özdal. The KALFAT SK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Dorukhan Özdal should have stopped the shot. Tuncay Yeten received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Fırat Balkoç tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Dorukhan Özdal made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Selim Akdemir in the 13th minute of play. A collision led to KALFAT SK getting a freekick after 14 minutes play. Boğaç Keskin hit a great ball. Ikitelli's Selim Akdemir managed to work through KALFAT SK's defense and was going for an easy goal, but he hit the shot with his toe and the ball flew outside the goal. Selim Akdemir dejectedly held out his arms as if to ask why the ball hadn't gone in. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nejat Vefalı in the 17th minute of play forced Ikitelli's goalkeeper Fırat Balkoç to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in KALFAT SK's zone, Selim Akdemir stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Dorukhan Özdal came out of the goal and Selim Akdemir tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Selim Akdemir in the 29th minute of play forced KALFAT SK's goalkeeper Dorukhan Özdal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ahmet Kutsi Akdurmuş took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 31st minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Dorukhan Özdal. KALFAT SK's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Selim Akdemir fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dorukhan Özdal having to interfere. After the first half Ikitelli were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Boğaç Keskin during the 54th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Ikitelli booed when KALFAT SK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 54 match minutes in a wonderful position. Boğaç Keskin didn't get a good kick on the ball. Dorukhan Özdal made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Selim Akdemir in the 64th minute of play. With his leg Dorukhan Özdal managed to avoid a goal in the 67thth minute, when Ikitelli's Zülfü Bakkalbaşı fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. In the 69th minute Zülfü Bakkalbaşı shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dorukhan Özdal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 73rd minute, Selim Akdemir 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. After having played for 76 minutes, Tuncay Yeten managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. KALFAT SK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Tuncay Yeten was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When the match clock showed 83 minutes, the score became 0-2 when Zülfü Bakkalbaşı sped through KALFAT SK's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Dorukhan Özdal. Tuncay Yeten kicked well hit freekick during the 88th minute of the match. The Ikitelli supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Ikitelli would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
