Iskenderun
Spectators: 6550 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1450, VIP seats: 100) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ahmet Ozan Perker took the kick off in the first half of the match. Manyas's defense didn't have a chance, in the 3rd minute, when Şafak Tamkoç scored to the left of an out of position Seyrani Erseven, making the score, 1-0. After a rather tough play, Manyas's Oğuzhan Seyidhan got a free kick in the 7th minute. In the 9th minute, Hamdi Berin fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Seyrani Erseven, passed just outside the right post. Seyrani Erseven made a fantastic save in the 12th minute, when Şafak Tamkoç sent off a good shot on target. Seyrani Erseven stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Şafak Tamkoç's shot from short distance in the 13th minute. If Arda Baybars Ekin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Kemal Tanyol recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 16th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Oğuzhan Seyidhan came up free with the goalie in the 25th minute, the Manyas 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 Oğuzhan Seyidhan couldn't finish the play. Iskenderun's Aybar Türk played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cevat Serhun in the 26th minute of play. Kemal Tanyol received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Seyrani Erseven tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Reşat Ulusan charged in rather forcefully in the 32nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Reşat Ulusan the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 32nd match minute, Iskenderun was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Reşat Ulusan to maneuver through the defense. Oğuzhan Seyidhan's late challenge caught a Iskenderun's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Oğuzhan Seyidhan helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Manyas getting a freekick after 34 minutes play. Oğuzhan Seyidhan hit a great ball. Seyrani Erseven took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kemal Tanyol, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Kemal Tanyol received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 44th minute. Seyrani Erseven tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Iskenderun's Arda Baybars Ekin got a free kick in the 48th minute.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Hamdi Berin was the one to do the kick off. 56 minutes into the match, Manyas's goal looked a bit too open when Hamdi Berin came free, but Seyrani Erseven reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kemal Tanyol in the 57th minute of play forced Manyas's goalkeeper Seyrani Erseven to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Iskenderun's Reşat Ulusan got a free kick in the 58th minute. With a little luck, Iskenderun's Aybar Türk got control of the ball when Cevat Serhun tried to sneak it across the goal line. A hard shot by Besim Onursay from long distance, 64 minutes into the match, got Aybar Türk's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. The supporters of Iskenderun booed when Manyas was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Gökçe Ruknettin didn't get a good kick on the ball. After recieving a nice pass, Iskenderun's Utkan Tanalp tried to score from far away in the 77th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Utkan Tanalp sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Manyas's Seyrani Erseven played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hamdi Berin in the 88th minute of play. Kemal Tanyol fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 89th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Seyrani Erseven having to interfere. Seyrani Erseven took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kemal Tanyol, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Iskenderun's Aybar Türk proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 94th minute of the match, managed to save Iskenderun from getting a goal against them. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Iskenderun had played much better football throughout.
