Spectators: 206 (Terracing: 155, Seating: 47, VIP seats: 4) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ahmet Nasir Akkın made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute, Aşık Kutsel hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Şadi Cihaner showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ahmet Nasir Akkın in the 5th minute of the match. Aşık Kutsel's late challenge caught a Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Aşık Kutsel helped the player get up and apologised. After recieving a nice pass, Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa's Tevfik Unat tried to score from far away in the 8th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Önder Salman charged in rather forcefully in the 9th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Önder Salman the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 9 played minutes Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa got a freekick which was hit by Önder Salman. In the 21stth minute of the game Ahmet Nasir Akkın who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa's Şadi Cihaner was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 23rd minute the ball was on its way in behind FCFiratRom's goalkeeper Kıvanç Sorgun, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 24 minutes into the game, Baturalp Özdener was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FCFiratRom the free kick. Şadi Cihaner showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ahmet Nasir Akkın in the 26th minute of the match. When Necaettin Safih came up free with the goalie in the 30th minute, the FCFiratRom 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 Necaettin Safih couldn't finish the play. If Baturalp Özdener had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Kıvanç Sorgun made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Baturalp Özdener in the 36th minute of play. In the 37th match minute, FCFiratRom was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bahattin Enfal to maneuver through the defense. Şadi Cihaner showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Necaettin Safih in the 41st minute of the match. 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.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ferman Sabri stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. A collision led to Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa getting a freekick after 54 minutes play. Tevfik Unat hit a great ball. In the 56th minute Baturalp Özdener shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kıvanç Sorgun saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Kıvanç Sorgun came out of the goal in the 59th minute to try and stop a shot by Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa's Baturalp Özdener. But to his dismay, Baturalp Özdener quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa's Recep Talha Ozan was substituted for Ali Numan Akgöze. After having played for 66 minutes, Baturalp Özdener managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa's supporters crossed their fingers, but Baturalp Özdener was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The crowd rose to their feet as FCFiratRom's Ahmet Nasir Akkın slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Şadi Cihaner. That made the score 1-1 after 72 minutes of play. Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa's defense didn't have a chance, in the 76th minute, when Bahattin Enfal scored to the left of an out of position Şadi Cihaner, making the score, 1-2. Baturalp Özdener blasted a shot towards the goal in the 80th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Kıvanç Sorgun having to make a save. 86 minutes into the game, Veli Yesar was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FCFiratRom the free kick. After a defensive mix-up in Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa's zone, Necaettin Safih stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Şadi Cihaner came out of the goal and Necaettin Safih tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 94 played minutes Erzincan MustafaKemalPaşa got a freekick which was hit by Veli Yesar. 95 minutes in the game Mehmet Emre Olcay after having made a beautiful turn got a great opportunity to score and fired away a shot that went just to the left past a relieved Şadi Cihaner. A very good opportunity. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. FCFiratRom had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
