Independence Park
Spectators: 44 (Terracing: 34, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Finlay Stair started the match with the kick off. Zafer Erokay sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Abdurrahim Şahinoğlu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 4th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of ....... booed when Jamaica was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. Romon Oliver didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 11thth minute of the game Abdurrahim Şahinoğlu who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Jamaica's Demonde Jacobson was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. When Leron Sale fell near the penalty area in the 12th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Jamaica's protests and gave Leron Sale a yellow card for diving instead. Demonde Jacobson took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zafer Erokay, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A collision led to Jamaica getting a freekick after 24 minutes play. Javan Develder hit a great ball. Romon Oliver's late challenge caught a .......'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Romon Oliver helped the player get up and apologised. Romon Oliver kicked well hit freekick during the 26th minute of the match. If Jarell Hill had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Finlay Stair kicked well hit freekick during the 30th minute of the match. In the 44th minute, Abdurrahim Şahinoğlu got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After some careless play in the Jamaica defense, Abdurrahim Şahinoğlu kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Demonde Jacobson. The Jamaica fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Demonde Jacobson should have stopped the shot. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Abdurrahim Şahinoğlu made a kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Finlay Stair in the 53rd minute of play forced .......'s goalkeeper Ahmet Orhan Usal to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Javan Develder's late challenge caught a .......'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Javan Develder helped the player get up and apologised. After 58 played minutes Jamaica got a freekick which was hit by Javan Develder. 61 minutes into the game, .......'s Zafer Erokay nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Demonde Jacobson made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-2. A collision led to ....... getting a freekick after 64 minutes play. Murathan Olgunsoy hit a great ball. In the 72nd minute, Raşit Kanat hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 76 minutes into the match, Kahraman Turan dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Demonde Jacobson, 1-3. Demonde Jacobson showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Arcan Ekinci in the 80th minute of the match. The crowd rose to their feet as Arcan Ekinci kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Demonde Jacobson. That made the score 1-4 in the 82 minute of play. Jamaica's Demonde Jacobson proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 87th minute of the match, managed to save Jamaica from getting a goal against them. When the match was over ....... could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Jamaica throughout the match.
