Caldiran Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ali Cengiz Atikoğlu took the kick off in the first half of the match. The Kaynarca fans' excitement grew in the 2nd match minute when Kaynarca's Bülent Ünaldi 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. After 7 played minutes, Caldiran JK's Reha Tanırer shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ali Hamza Kıvılcım came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Caldiran JK reached it. Ali Hamza Kıvılcım showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ali Cengiz Atikoğlu in the 9th minute of the match.
