Karakecili Stadium
Spectators: 148 (Terracing: 114, Seating: 34, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ulvi Sonalp made the kick off which started today's match. 6 minutes into the match, Karakecili JK's goal looked a bit too open when Mehmet Anıl Rical came free, but Mehmet Efe Kazım reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Ahmet Erdem Akpınar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Acun Revha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mehmet Efe Kazım took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ulvi Sonalp, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 27 minutes into the match, Behlül Tacik had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Mehmet Efe Kazım. Karakecili JK's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Behlül Tacik was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. 30 minutes into the game, Mehmet Anıl Rical cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Mehmet Efe Kazım was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Acun Revha hit a great freekick 35 minutes into the match. In the 37th minute Fahrettin Behzat shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mehmet Efe Kazım saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to Karakecili JK getting a freekick after 40 minutes play. Bayındır Mehmet Resulhan hit a great ball. In the 42nd minute, Timur Buğrahan hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After the first half Machu Picchu were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ahmet Erdem Akpınar made a kick off. Olcay Orkun Tümkan came out of the goal in the 53rd minute to try and stop a shot by Karakecili JK's Acun Revha. But to his dismay, Acun Revha quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. Mehmet Efe Kazım made a fantastic save in the 57th minute, when Behlül Tacik sent off a good shot on target. In the 59th minute of the match, Ulvi Sonalp tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Mehmet Efe Kazım saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. After 64 played minutes Machu Picchu got a freekick which was hit by Ali Galip Kurhan. In the 66th minute, Fahrettin Behzat reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Mehmet Efe Kazım. The goal made the score 1-4. In the 83rd minute, Behlül Tacik ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Mehmet Efe Kazım was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-5. When Hüsamettin Özgulec fell near the penalty area in the 91st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Machu Picchu's protests and gave Hüsamettin Özgulec a yellow card for diving instead. After 91 played minutes Machu Picchu got a freekick which was hit by Hüsamettin Özgulec. Karakecili JK's Mehmet Efe Kazım proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 93rd minute of the match, managed to save Karakecili JK from getting a goal against them. Machu Picchu played a much better game than Karakecili JK and deserved their victory. The Karakecili JK players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
