Yahsihan Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Giray Akbora during the 3rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Yahsihan's Engin Rusuhi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Afşin Erüstün in the 6th minute of play. In the 12th minute, Rüknettin Midilli got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Rüknettin Midilli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ali Kağan Hakan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Şinasi Yüce in the 17th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Pütürge's Atabek Kayrahan got a free kick in the 30th minute. If Rüknettin Midilli had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 32nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The crowd rose to their feet as Şinasi Yüce kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Ali Kağan Hakan. That made the score 1-0 in the 35 minute of play. Rüknettin Midilli received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Ali Kağan Hakan tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Şinasi Yüce was the one to do the kick off. 52 minutes into the match, Pütürge's goal looked a bit too open when Şinasi Yüce came free, but Ali Kağan Hakan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Pütürge's Ali Kağan Hakan played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rüknettin Midilli in the 53rd minute of play. Ali Kağan Hakan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Şinasi Yüce, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Rüknettin Midilli's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ali Kağan Hakan read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 58th minute of play. Yahsihan's Engin Rusuhi proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 59th minute of the match, managed to save Yahsihan from getting a goal against them. When Giray Akbora was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 61 minutes had been played. After a rather tough play, Yahsihan's Giray Akbora got a free kick in the 62nd minute. After a defensive mix-up in Yahsihan's zone, Atabek Kayrahan stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Engin Rusuhi came out of the goal and Atabek Kayrahan tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Atabek Kayrahan fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 65th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Engin Rusuhi having to interfere. After 67 minutes, Şinasi Yüce mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Yahsihan and the Pütürge players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Yahsihan's Şinasi Yüce got a free kick in the 68th minute. In the 75th minute, Rüknettin Midilli ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ali Kağan Hakan was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-0. Afşin Erüstün sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 84th minute of the match Hamdullah Özçelik sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Engin Rusuhi skillfully saved the ball. After having played for 87 minutes, Mikail Yanaç managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Pütürge's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mikail Yanaç was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When the match had gone on for 93 minutes, Rüknettin Midilli put it in 3-0 from a short distance just to the right of Ali Kağan Hakan. Pütürge's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
