Ovacik Stadium
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Abay Sezmen kicked off to start the match. In the 2nd minute, one of Ovacik:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Ovacik. 7 minutes into the match, Galerya's goal looked a bit too open when Fehmi Onursu came free, but Reşit Türel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a little luck, Galerya's Reşit Türel got control of the ball when Fehmi Onursu tried to sneak it across the goal line. Balaban Başbuğoğlu received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 17th minute. Arda Totuk tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Balaban Başbuğoğlu recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 19th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ziya Battal kicked well hit freekick during the 20th minute of the match. Arda Totuk made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Duman Titiz in the 22nd minute of play. Balaban Başbuğoğlu struck a weak shot in the 32nd minute. Arda Totuk didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Galerya. When Mustafa Barış Ulukut came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the Galerya 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 Mustafa Barış Ulukut couldn't finish the play. Balaban Başbuğoğlu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 36th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Arda Totuk having to interfere. In the 38th minute the ball was on its way in behind Ovacik's goalkeeper Arda Totuk, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Fehmi Onursu's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Reşit Türel read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 39th minute of play. After 42 played minutes, Galerya's Mustafa Cumhur Olgaç shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Arda Totuk 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 Galerya reached it. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Duman Titiz was the one to do the kick off. With a little luck, Ovacik's Arda Totuk got control of the ball when Balaban Başbuğoğlu tried to sneak it across the goal line. Duman Titiz received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 53rd minute. Arda Totuk tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 55 minutes of play, Galerya's Balaban Başbuğoğlu made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Arda Totuk was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 59th minute Duman Titiz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arda Totuk saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Fehmi Onursu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 66th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Reşit Türel having to interfere. Arda Totuk showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Duman Titiz in the 68th minute of the match. After 69 minutes, İzzet Eldemir mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ovacik and the Galerya players grew even worse after the yellow card. İzzet Eldemir kicked well hit freekick during the 70th minute of the match. Duman Titiz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Abay Sezmen received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. Reşit Türel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Abay Sezmen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Duman Titiz received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Arda Totuk came out and tried to block the shot, but Duman Titiz slotted it home off the left post making it 0-3 in the 82nd minute. After a rather tough play, Galerya's Arif Tugay Nurtekin got a free kick in the 89th minute. In the 95th minute, İzzet Eldemir ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Reşit Türel was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-3. The Galerya supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Galerya would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
