League Play-Off

Düzce Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ege Çırak kicked off to start the match. Enver Toktahan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Aydın Karadeniz in the 3rd minute of the match. After 3 played minutes Düzce SK got a freekick which was hit by Mümtazer Pekinturk. When Ege Çırak fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Düzce SK's protests and gave Ege Çırak a yellow card for diving instead. In the 7th minute, Ege Çırak hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Enver Toktahan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Oğuzalp Tunçbay, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Çelikan Özkan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 24th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. A collision led to Celebi getting a freekick after 28 minutes play. Mehmet Ferit Ataseven hit a great ball. İsrafil Hacılar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 31st minute. Alim Çelik tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Alim Çelik came out of the goal in the 33rd minute to try and stop a shot by Düzce SK's İsrafil Hacılar. But to his dismay, İsrafil Hacılar quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. After a defensive mix-up in Düzce SK's zone, Çelikan Özkan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Enver Toktahan came out of the goal and Çelikan Özkan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After a rather tough play, Düzce SK's Mümtazer Pekinturk got a free kick in the 41st minute. Celebi's Ersan Engintalay couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Düzce SK. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Oğuzalp Tunçbay was the one to do the kick off. Celebi's Alim Çelik played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ege Çırak in the 55th minute of play. Oğuzalp Tunçbay struck a weak shot in the 58th minute. Enver Toktahan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Celebi. İsrafil Hacılar's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Alim Çelik read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 63rd minute of play. Alim Çelik made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ege Çırak in the 64th minute of play. Çelikan Özkan came free with the goalkeeper in the 68th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Enver Toktahan could save by the left post. Çelikan Özkan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 71st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 73rd minute Oğuzalp Tunçbay shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Enver Toktahan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 74th minute, Ege Çırak managed to get in a good position for a shot. Düzce SK's supporters rose to their feet, but Ege Çırak was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Alim Çelik breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. İsrafil Hacılar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alim Çelik having to interfere. İsrafil Hacılar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A collision led to Celebi getting a freekick after 83 minutes play. Mehmet Ferit Ataseven hit a great ball. Ege Çırak received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Alim Çelik tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If İsrafil Hacılar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 92 minutes into the match, Ege Çırak had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Alim Çelik. Celebi's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ege Çırak was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0. 97 minutes into the match, Celebi's goal looked a bit too open when İsrafil Hacılar came free, but Alim Çelik reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Celebi's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
