Sarkisla Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nazil İlkim kicked off to start the match. The Findikzade JK fans' excitement grew in the 11th match minute when Findikzade JK's Devran Kızıl looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Oğuzkan Tecen's late challenge caught a Sarkisla's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Oğuzkan Tecen helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Findikzade JK getting a freekick after 23 minutes play. Oğuzkan Tecen hit a great ball. Findikzade JK's Sabahattin Umur played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nazil İlkim in the 25th minute of play. Sabahattin Umur showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nazil İlkim in the 28th minute of the match. 29 minutes into the match, Findikzade JK's goalkeeper Sabahattin Umur had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Alemdar Tecimer. Sabahattin Umur showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nazil İlkim, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. 38 minutes into the match, Sarkisla's Nazil İlkim sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Sabahattin Umur narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Findikzade JK's Sabahattin Umur played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nazil İlkim in the 41st minute of play. After the first half Findikzade JK were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Talip Acarer made a kick off. The supporters of Findikzade JK booed when Sarkisla was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 54 match minutes in a wonderful position. Selçuk Özkar didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Alemdar Tecimer came up free with the goalie in the 61st minute, the Sarkisla 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 Alemdar Tecimer couldn't finish the play. Devran Kızıl recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 66th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 70 minutes had been played when some careless play by Findikzade JK's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. İslam İlmi was slow to take the kick. During this time Sarkisla's players had a chance to rest. 73 minutes into the match, Findikzade JK's goal looked a bit too open when Alemdar Tecimer came free, but Sabahattin Umur reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpected shot in the 75th minute by Talip Acarer got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nazil İlkim in the 81st minute of play forced Findikzade JK's goalkeeper Sabahattin Umur to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 88th minute the ball was on its way in behind Findikzade JK's goalkeeper Sabahattin Umur, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Serkan Sehriyar hit a great freekick 90 minutes into the match. After having played for 93 minutes, Nazil İlkim managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sarkisla's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nazil İlkim was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Alemdar Tecimer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 97th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Sarkisla supporters were disappointed that their team didn't take anything from the match, despite matching Findikzade JK's performance. The match ended with a win for Findikzade JK.
