Kayseri Stadium
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Kayseri FK's Cahit Tüzmen started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. In the 3rd minute, Utkan İlksen made a precise shot to the right of Kurtuluş Tellioğlu. Kayseri FK's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Utkan İlksen might have been able to make a better finish in the 8th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Kurtuluş Tellioğlu. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Utkan İlksen ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 10thth minute of the game Utkan İlksen who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Kayseri FK's Kurtuluş Tellioğlu was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Cem Tümerkan could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 13th minute of the match, but Halil Can Sevgen made a huge save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hamdullah Hazlan in the 18th minute of play forced Kayseri FK's goalkeeper Kurtuluş Tellioğlu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 22nd minute Utkan İlksen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kurtuluş Tellioğlu saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Utkan İlksen in the 24th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Kurtuluş Tellioğlu saved Kayseri FK from getting behind. 25 minutes into the game, Hamdullah Hazlan cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Kurtuluş Tellioğlu was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 28 minutes into the match, Kayseri FK's goal looked a bit too open when Utkan İlksen came free, but Kurtuluş Tellioğlu reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cem Tümerkans short, quick shot in the 33rdth minute got Halil Can Sevgen to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. With 35 minutes on the clock, Bahadırhan Kayrar commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. After 34 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Tufanbeyli! With an all-out effort, Kayseri FK's Halil Can Sevgen threw himself towards the right post 40 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Cahit Tüzmen, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Babür Altunç received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Kurtuluş Tellioğlu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Kurtuluş Tellioğlu showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Babür Altunç in the 47th minute of the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Hamdullah Hazlan to make the kick off. Hamdullah Hazlan could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 51st minute of the match, but Kurtuluş Tellioğlu made a huge save. When Hamdullah Hazlan came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the Tufanbeyli 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 Hamdullah Hazlan couldn't finish the play. After a rather tough play, Tufanbeyli's Alpertunga Kökşin got a free kick in the 54th minute. Ahmet Bülent Tanberk blasted a shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Kurtuluş Tellioğlu having to make a save. The supporters of Tufanbeyli booed when Kayseri FK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 60 match minutes in a wonderful position. Songur Kutsan didn't get a good kick on the ball. Songur Kutsan's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Halil Can Sevgen read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 63rd minute of play. After 64 minutes of play, Kayseri FK's Cahit Tüzmen made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Halil Can Sevgen was left in no man's land by his defense there! After 67 played minutes Tufanbeyli got a freekick which was hit by Cüneyt Nuh. After having played for 70 minutes, Hamdullah Hazlan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tufanbeyli's supporters crossed their fingers, but Hamdullah Hazlan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 84th minute, Hamdullah Hazlan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Hamdullah Hazlan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.
