REM ARENA
Spectators: 157 (Terracing: 118, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Alkis Tzavelas made the kick off which started today's match. After some careless play in the REMALIA defense, Çakır Serter kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Charis Kanellos. The REMALIA fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Charis Kanellos should have stopped the shot. Charis Kanellos came out of the goal in the 12th minute to try and stop a shot by 1908 Vefa's Yiğitcan Uyaralp. But to his dismay, Yiğitcan Uyaralp quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. Yiğitcan Uyaralp scored 0-3 in the 16th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Charis Kanellos, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Alkis Tzavelas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Grigoris Pallis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 23rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Gafur İzzettin having to interfere. When the match clock showed 26 minutes, the score became 1-3 when Alkis Tzavelas sped through 1908 Vefa's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Gafur İzzettin. The audience was convinced that Alkis Tzavelas's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Gafur İzzettin was relentless in the 31st minute of the game. After some fancy dribbling in the 33rd minute, Alkis Tzavelas managed to get in a good position for a shot. REMALIA's supporters rose to their feet, but Alkis Tzavelas was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Gafur İzzettin breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 41 minutes REMALIA's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Şahap Bozoğlu who took care of the corner kick. 1908 Vefa's Şahap Bozoğlu was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Charis Kanellos in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. In the 45th minute, REMALIA's Kostas Karagiorgos seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Kostas Karagiorgos the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of REMALIA protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Kostas Karagiorgos had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In the 45th minute, one of REMALIA:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for REMALIA. Disappointed in the 1-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Çakır Serter to strike the kick off in the second half. Charis Kanellos made an important save on a dangerous shot by Yiğitcan Uyaralp in the 55th minute. Kostas Kyzeridis hit a great freekick 56 minutes into the match. 60 minutes into the game, REMALIA's Stergios Pavlakoglou nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Gafur İzzettin made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-3. Charis Kanellos made a fantastic save in the 65th minute, when Şahap Bozoğlu sent off a good shot on target. Charis Kanellos showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Çakır Serter in the 67th minute of the match. A collision led to REMALIA getting a freekick after 82 minutes play. Renos Potiroulis hit a great ball. After a rather tough play, REMALIA's Stergios Pavlakoglou got a free kick in the 97th minute. 1908 Vefa played a much better game than REMALIA and deserved their victory. The REMALIA players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
