AYYILDIZ ARENA
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Cenan Ataergin kicked off to start the match. Fahrettin Pekgöz's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Görkem Bucuklu read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 3rd minute of play. After 12 played minutes AYYILDIZ FC got a freekick which was hit by Sungurhan Tekgül. Birkan Demirman received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 23rd minute. Görkem Bucuklu tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fahrettin Pekgöz in the 24th minute of play forced AYYILDIZ FC's goalkeeper Görkem Bucuklu to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 30th minute, Cenan Ataergin managed to get in a good position for a shot. AYYILDIZ FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Cenan Ataergin was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tolga Kadem breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Cenan Ataergin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Fahrettin Pekgöz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Fahrettin Pekgöz to make the kick off. If Abdülhak Bozkurt had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Steel Forge booed when AYYILDIZ FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 57 match minutes in a wonderful position. Abdülhak Bozkurt didn't get a good kick on the ball. 63 minutes into the match, Birkan Demirman notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of AYYILDIZ FC's Görkem Bucuklu. Görkem Bucuklu was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The audience thought a goal was coming when Birkan Demirman got free with Görkem Bucuklu in the 69th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When Abdülhak Bozkurt fell near the penalty area in the 71st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored AYYILDIZ FC's protests and gave Abdülhak Bozkurt a yellow card for diving instead. AYYILDIZ FC's Görkem Bucuklu played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fahrettin Pekgöz in the 72nd minute of play. Abdülhak Bozkurt hit a great freekick 76 minutes into the match. The audience was convinced that Fahrettin Pekgöz's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Görkem Bucuklu was relentless in the 80th minute of the game. A collision led to AYYILDIZ FC getting a freekick after 89 minutes play. Cenan Ataergin hit a great ball.
