League Play-Off

SSK ERMEYDANI
Spectators: 32 (Terracing: 25, Seating: 7, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Batıray Zühtü kicked off to start the match. Özen Ilıca hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. Sergen Serol received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Abbas Poyraz tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Sergen Serol sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Akşemseddin Ekber fell near the penalty area in the 17th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Almus FK's protests and gave Akşemseddin Ekber a yellow card for diving instead. 20 minutes into the match, Almus FK's goal looked a bit too open when Kürşat Erüstün came free, but Ruhi Akmanoğlu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The Almus FK fans' excitement grew in the 24th match minute when Almus FK's Batıray Zühtü 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. Batıray Zühtü recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 32nd 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 Batıray Zühtü in the 34th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Abbas Poyraz saved Steteskop-SK from getting behind. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Cevdet Onatsu during the 35th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The supporters of Almus FK booed when Steteskop-SK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 40 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cevdet Onatsu didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 41st minute, Ahmet Rıfat Rezzak sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Steteskop-SK's Abbas Poyraz didn't even have to move. If Sergen Serol had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cevdet Onatsu was shown his second yellow card after 43 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. After a rather tough play, Steteskop-SK's Cevdet Onatsu got a free kick in the 44th minute. Batıray Zühtü spun around in front of the goal 46 minutes in the game, and got away a shot that, to his disappointment, went to the left of Steteskop-SK's goal. Batıray Zühtü struck a weak shot in the 49th minute. Abbas Poyraz didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Almus FK.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ali Doğanlar to make the kick off. After 54 minutes of play, Almus FK's Batıray Zühtü made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Abbas Poyraz was left in no man's land by his defense there! After having played for 61 minutes, Batıray Zühtü managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Almus FK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Batıray Zühtü was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Kürşat Erüstün's late challenge caught a Almus FK's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Kürşat Erüstün helped the player get up and apologised. Kürşat Erüstün kicked well hit freekick during the 68th minute of the match. When Sergen Serol came up free with the goalie in the 71st minute, the Almus FK 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 Sergen Serol couldn't finish the play. Abbas Poyraz was a little too slow when Batıray Zühtü got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 73rd minute. The score was now 0-3. Birol Hacılar kicked well hit freekick during the 77th minute of the match. If Batıray Zühtü had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A hard shot 83 in the game by Sergen Serol from a close distance when the talented Abbas Poyraz managed to make a qualified save. Steteskop-SK's players were relieved. 87 minutes into the game, Birol Hacılar was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Almus FK's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Steteskop-SK the free kick. Birol Hacılar hit a great freekick 87 minutes into the match. In the 91st minute, Sergen Serol made a precise shot to the right of Abbas Poyraz. Steteskop-SK's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-4. Sergen Serol sent away a hard shot on goal in the 98th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the final whistle sounded Almus FK left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Steteskop-SK.
