League Play-Off

Alucra Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Beşir Demirsah kicked off to start the match. Rafet Hanönü made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Bayındır Mehmet Ünlü in the 3rd minute of play. 3 minutes into the match, Bayındır Mehmet Ünlü notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Alucra FK's Rafet Hanönü. Rafet Hanönü was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 5 minutes, İlker Nezihi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Emek and the Alucra FK players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 5th minute, İlker Nezihi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Efe Tüzer's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 7thth minute, Baransel Hasret skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. 13 minutes into the match, Beşir Demirsah dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Baransel Hasret, 2-1. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Bilgin Kutsalmis in the 17th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Rafet Hanönü prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 18th play minute Efe Tüzer came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Baransel Hasret. 3-1. After a rather tough play, Alucra FK's Mehmet Serol got a free kick in the 25th minute. Rafet Hanönü took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bilgin Kutsalmis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With a little luck, Emek's Baransel Hasret got control of the ball when Efe Tüzer tried to sneak it across the goal line. 35 minutes into the match, Fikri Sezer had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Rafet Hanönü. Alucra FK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Fikri Sezer was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-2. In the 38th minute Fikri Sezer shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rafet Hanönü saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Fikri Sezer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Alucra FK's Efe Tüzer got a good chance for a goal in the 41st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 45th minute, Fikri Sezer managed to get in a good position for a shot. Emek's supporters rose to their feet, but Fikri Sezer was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rafet Hanönü breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Bilgin Kutsalmis to make the kick off. Alucra FK's Rafet Hanönü played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bilgin Kutsalmis in the 52nd minute of play. Rafet Hanönü was a little too slow when Bilgin Kutsalmis got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 57th minute. The score was now 3-3. Baransel Hasret showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Efe Tüzer, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. İlker Nezihi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rafet Hanönü having to interfere. Beşir Demirsah struck a weak shot in the 69th minute. Baransel Hasret didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Alucra FK. After 77 minutes of play, Emek's Fikri Sezer made it 3-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Rafet Hanönü was left in no man's land by his defense there! Fikri Sezer recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 89th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Bilgin Kutsalmis in the 91st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Rafet Hanönü saved Alucra FK from getting behind. If Fikri Sezer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 93rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the match was over Emek could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Alucra FK throughout the match.
