KARAMANOĞLUMEHMETBEY
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Erim Tolunbay started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. In the 3rd minute Erim Tolunbay shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Halil Can Taycan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ali Asım Tengizalp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Saip İlican had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Utkan Ekin's late challenge caught a KARAMANSPOR's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Utkan Ekin helped the player get up and apologised. In the 28th minute, Ege Elmacı hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Utkan Ekin fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dilmen Kurumer having to interfere. Mustafa Neba hit a great freekick 30 minutes into the match. KARAMANSPOR's Dilmen Kurumer played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fırat Korucu in the 36th minute of play. In the 43rd minute, Fırat Korucu ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Dilmen Kurumer was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Arif Çelebi Akkoyun hit a great freekick 46 minutes into the match. Ali Asım Tengizalp took the ball and in the 49 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Halil Can Taycan. Halil Can Taycan dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Saip İlican to make the kick off. Osmangazi SK's Halil Can Taycan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ali Asım Tengizalp in the 56th minute of play. After a rather tough play, KARAMANSPOR's Mustafa Neba got a free kick in the 64th minute. When Saip İlican came up free with the goalie in the 65th minute, the Osmangazi SK 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 Saip İlican couldn't finish the play. Saip İlican charged in rather forcefully in the 65th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Saip İlican the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Saip İlican hit a great freekick 65 minutes into the match. In the 68th match minute, Osmangazi SK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Utkan Ekin to maneuver through the defense. With his leg Dilmen Kurumer managed to avoid a goal in the 78thth minute, when Osmangazi SK's Fırat Korucu fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. A collision led to KARAMANSPOR getting a freekick after 80 minutes play. Mustafa Neba hit a great ball. Saip İlican was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 85th minute. Osmangazi SK's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Ali Asım Tengizalp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Ali Asım Tengizalp had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 96 minutes into the game, Mustafa Neba was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. KARAMANSPOR's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Osmangazi SK the free kick. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
