Kepsut Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Durmuş Derinöz kicked off to start the match. Aycan Baytekin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 19th minute, Evren Eryiğit left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Karapürcek FK fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-1. Evren Eryiğit scored 0-2 in the 28th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Kurtuluş Riayet, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 33rd minute, Batuğ Özhan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A collision led to Kepsut getting a freekick after 35 minutes play. Batuğ Özhan hit a great ball. Karapürcek FK's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Denizhan İlsev in the 40th minute. With an all-out effort, Kepsut's İlker Tandoğdu threw himself towards the right post 41 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Durmuş Derinöz, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Talha Geylani might have been able to make a better finish in the 46th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over İlker Tandoğdu. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Talha Geylani ran back to his position shaking his head. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

Karapürcek FK were awarded a corner in the 53th minute after Kepsut's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Denizhan İlsev took the corner. If Durmuş Derinöz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Evren Eryiğit in the 60th minute of play forced Kepsut's goalkeeper Kurtuluş Riayet to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Batuğ Özhan kicked well hit freekick during the 61st minute of the match. Kurtuluş Riayet made an important save on a dangerous shot by Ahmet Nafiz Aker in the 62nd minute. When Karapürcek FK's Evren Eryiğit in the 64th minute got a chance for a shot 64th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Kepsut's goalie prevented a goal. Evren Eryiğit received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Kurtuluş Riayet came out and tried to block the shot, but Evren Eryiğit slotted it home off the left post making it 0-3 in the 66th minute. Kurtuluş Riayet showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Evren Eryiğit, who was totally free with the ball in the 72nd minute. Evren Eryiğit fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kurtuluş Riayet having to interfere. In the 76th minute Durmuş Derinöz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but İlker Tandoğdu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Durmuş Derinöz came up free with the goalie in the 78th minute, the Kepsut 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 Durmuş Derinöz couldn't finish the play. İlker Tandoğdu made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Batuğ Özhan in the 79th minute of play. Kurtuluş Riayet made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Evren Eryiğit in the 82nd minute of play. The Karapürcek FK supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match.
