League Play-Off

Karamanli Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Kutluay Şahin kicked off to start the match. Karliova FK's Asrın Avşar played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kutluay Şahin in the 3rd minute of play. 4 minutes into the match, Karamanli JK's goal looked a bit too open when Ali Erdem Ülkümen came free, but Anıl Işıklar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Asrın Avşar showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kutluay Şahin in the 7th minute of the match. When Kutluay Şahin came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Karamanli JK 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 Kutluay Şahin couldn't finish the play. Mehmet Fatih Çelikyay's late challenge caught a Karliova FK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Mehmet Fatih Çelikyay helped the player get up and apologised. 13 minutes into the game, one of Karamanli JK:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Murathan Ballı placed the ball on the penalty spot and got himself ready to shoot. Post out! After a defensive mix-up in Karamanli JK's zone, Ali Erdem Ülkümen stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Anıl Işıklar came out of the goal and Ali Erdem Ülkümen tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Ali Erdem Ülkümen came up free with the goalie in the 20th minute, the Karliova FK 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 Ali Erdem Ülkümen couldn't finish the play. Ali Erdem Ülkümen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 35 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Karliova FK! The goalkeeper, Asrın Avşar, was totally fooled by Karamanli JK's Neşat Koyak, who 36 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. In the 40th match minute, Karamanli JK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Kutluay Şahin to maneuver through the defense.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ali Erdem Ülkümen stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Abdulmelik Canatan during the 52nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 52nd minute, Abdulmelik Canatan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Neşat Koyak, 60 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Akın Afacan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Asrın Avşar having to interfere. Çetin Demir was shown his second yellow card after 76 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. When Akın Afacan came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the Karamanli JK 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 Akın Afacan couldn't finish the play. Karliova FK's Murathan Ballı couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 84th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Karamanli JK. Melih Cevdet Kurhan struck a weak shot in the 85th minute. Anıl Işıklar didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Karliova FK. 87 minutes into the match, Karliova FK's İbrahim Ethem Armağan sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Anıl Işıklar narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Karamanli JK fans cheered their team off the field, for while Karliova FK had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
