League Play-Off

Karakocan Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Işık Gemici took the kick off in the first half of the match. Reyhanli SK's Gökhun Canberk proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 8th minute of the match, managed to save Reyhanli SK from getting a goal against them. 9 minutes into the match, SARIYER's Hafız Zoral sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Gökhun Canberk narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 10th minute Hafız Zoral shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gökhun Canberk saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 12 minutes into the match, Reyhanli SK's goalkeeper Gökhun Canberk had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Baskın Özger. After some careless play in the SARIYER defense, Işık Gemici kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Arman Baliç. The SARIYER fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Arman Baliç should have stopped the shot. Baskın Özger received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Gökhun Canberk tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 23rdth minute of the game Işık Gemici who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but SARIYER's Arman Baliç was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Hayati Ergüvenç fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arman Baliç having to interfere. If Işık Gemici had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 33 minutes of play, Reyhanli SK's Beyhan Oytunç made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Arman Baliç was left in no man's land by his defense there! Arman Baliç didn't succeed to prevent the ball from going into goal when Reyhanli SK's Işık Gemici shot an unexpected shot in the crossbar's under edge and made 0-3 in the ordered_time% minute. After a defensive mix-up in Reyhanli SK's zone, Baskın Özger stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Gökhun Canberk came out of the goal and Baskın Özger tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 48th minute Hayati Ergüvenç shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arman Baliç saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Hafız Zoral stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 54 minutes into the game, Hayati Ergüvenç cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-4. Arman Baliç was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Gökhun Canberk took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Baskın Özger, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Hafız Zoral struck a weak shot in the 60th minute. Gökhun Canberk didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SARIYER. Mutlu Sağman's late challenge caught a SARIYER's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Mutlu Sağman helped the player get up and apologised. After 73 played minutes Reyhanli SK got a freekick which was hit by Mutlu Sağman. The audience held their breath when Sait Tengizalp in the 75th minute of the game managed to trick the opponents defenses and fired away a shot outside the goal on the Gökhun Canberk's left hand side. Hafız Zoral recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 79th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Kudret Tekinel charged in rather forcefully in the 84th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Kudret Tekinel the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 85 played minutes SARIYER got a freekick which was hit by Kudret Tekinel. After 88 minutes SARIYER's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Fetih Adıyaman who took care of the corner kick. The corner ended in Fetih Adıyaman almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but SARIYER's Arman Baliç did a great save. Hafız Zoral fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gökhun Canberk having to interfere. Reyhanli SK's Gökhun Canberk played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Baskın Özger in the 93rd minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Işık Gemici in the 97th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Arman Baliç saved SARIYER from getting behind. The Reyhanli SK supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Reyhanli SK would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
