Taslicay Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Halit Ziya Bican took the kick off in the first half of the match. El Turco's Erdoğan Karakan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Husein Pakunagara in the 7th minute of play. In the 9th minute Husein Pakunagara shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Erdoğan Karakan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 11 minutes into the match, El Turco's goal looked a bit too open when Husein Pakunagara came free, but Erdoğan Karakan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 15 minutes into the game, El Turco's Resul Durucan nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Emirşah Kutlar made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 17th minute, Halit Ziya Bican managed to get in a good position for a shot. El Turco's supporters rose to their feet, but Halit Ziya Bican was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Emirşah Kutlar breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Husein Pakunagara in the 20th minute of play forced El Turco's goalkeeper Erdoğan Karakan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A hard shot 24 in the game by Muzaffer Konuralp from a close distance when the talented Erdoğan Karakan managed to make a qualified save. El Turco's players were relieved. Husein Pakunagara scored 1-1 in the 25th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Erdoğan Karakan, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Husein Pakunagara sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 37th minute, Halit Ziya Bican ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Emirşah Kutlar was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. Muzaffer Konuralp shot the penalty kick right outside the post. El Turco's Erdoğan Karakan proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 46th minute of the match, managed to save El Turco from getting a goal against them.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Husein Pakunagara was the one to do the kick off. El Turco's Halit Ziya Bican got a good chance for a goal in the 53rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Cankut Tankan's late challenge caught a El Turco's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Cankut Tankan helped the player get up and apologised. In the 55th match minute, Taslicay was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Cankut Tankan to maneuver through the defense. When Resul Durucan came up free with the goalie in the 63rd minute, the El Turco 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 Resul Durucan couldn't finish the play. Emirşah Kutlar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Halit Ziya Bican, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Husein Pakunagara in the 69th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Erdoğan Karakan saved El Turco from getting behind. After 70 played minutes Taslicay got a freekick which was hit by Jurand Bakes. Halit Ziya Bican received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Emirşah Kutlar came out and tried to block the shot, but Halit Ziya Bican slotted it home off the left post making it 1-3 in the 72nd minute. After 77 played minutes El Turco got a freekick which was hit by Işık Saykal. With a little luck, Taslicay's Emirşah Kutlar got control of the ball when Resul Durucan tried to sneak it across the goal line. After 91 played minutes, Taslicay's Behlül Yalkın shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Erdoğan Karakan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Taslicay reached it. Emirşah Kutlar showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Halit Ziya Bican in the 96th minute of the match. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. El Turco had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
