League Play-Off

Arhavi Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Onurhan Nursal started the match with the kick off. After 4 played minutes Güclükonak got a freekick which was hit by Arcan Orguntay. Arhavi's Afşin Şahinkan got a good chance for a goal in the 8th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Onurhan Nursal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Arhavi's Altuğ Başel got a good chance for a goal in the 26th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a rather tough play, Güclükonak's Tuncer Nedim got a free kick in the 31st minute. Altuğ Başel might have been able to make a better finish in the 34th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Abdurrahim Yağızkan. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Altuğ Başel ran back to his position shaking his head. Arcan Orguntay received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 39th minute. Alpay Özsungur tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Cesur Tansoy blasted a shot towards the goal in the 43rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Alpay Özsungur having to make a save. Cihat Balta hit a great freekick 45 minutes into the match. In the 47th minute, Cesur Tansoy 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.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Cesur Tansoy to strike the kick off in the second half. A collision led to Arhavi getting a freekick after 51 minutes play. Lokman Özgiray hit a great ball. Alim Tengiz's late challenge caught a Arhavi's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Alim Tengiz helped the player get up and apologised. After having played for 57 minutes, Arcan Orguntay managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Güclükonak's supporters crossed their fingers, but Arcan Orguntay was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Güclükonak's Cesur Tansoy in the 58th minute got a chance for a shot 58th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Arhavi's goalie prevented a goal. If Cesur Tansoy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Arcan Orguntay could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 67th minute of the match, but Alpay Özsungur made a huge save. In the 69th minute Onurhan Nursal shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abdurrahim Yağızkan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The supporters of Arhavi booed when Güclükonak was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 69 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ahmet Gündüz Semi didn't get a good kick on the ball. Abdurrahim Yağızkan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Altuğ Başel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cesur Tansoy in the 73rd minute of play forced Arhavi's goalkeeper Alpay Özsungur to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Cesur Tansoy came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the Güclükonak 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 Cesur Tansoy couldn't finish the play. 86 minutes into the game, Güclükonak's Alim Tengiz nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Alpay Özsungur made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. The crowd rose to their feet as Cesur Tansoy kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Alpay Özsungur. That made the score 0-2 in the 90 minute of play. Arcan Orguntay struck a weak shot in the 94th minute. Alpay Özsungur didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Güclükonak. Arcan Orguntay sent away a hard shot on goal in the 96th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Güclükonak's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
