YAMAN ARENA
Spectators: 7719 (Terracing: 5790, Seating: 1775, VIP seats: 154) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Alexandre Albon started the match with the kick off. Aníbal Arruda showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Aydın Ilıcan, who was totally free with the ball in the 4th minute. Aydın Ilıcan's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Aníbal Arruda firmly grabbed it by the left post. In the 12th minute Dedé Fernandes suffered a thigh injury and had to be helped off the field. After 12 minutes, Fikri Samir mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Yaman Academy® and the Jumeuc Futebol Clube players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, Yaman Academy®'s Fikri Samir got a free kick in the 14th minute. With a little luck, Jumeuc Futebol Clube's Aníbal Arruda got control of the ball when Mehmet Ediz Torgay tried to sneak it across the goal line. Nico Secco's late challenge caught a Yaman Academy®'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Nico Secco helped the player get up and apologised. Arif Egemen Tümen's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Aníbal Arruda firmly grabbed it by the left post. 21 minutes into the match, Yaman Academy®'s goal looked a bit too open when Jacinto Vale came free, but Ceyhan Yavuz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 24 minutes into the game, Patrick Sarmento was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Jumeuc Futebol Clube's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Yaman Academy® the free kick. The supporters of Yaman Academy® booed when Jumeuc Futebol Clube was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 24 match minutes in a wonderful position. Patrick Sarmento didn't get a good kick on the ball. Alexandre Albon might have been able to make a better finish in the 27th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ceyhan Yavuz. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Alexandre Albon ran back to his position shaking his head. The supporters of Yaman Academy® booed when Jumeuc Futebol Clube was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 34 match minutes in a wonderful position. Patrick Sarmento didn't get a good kick on the ball.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Aydın Ilıcan to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 58th minute Arif Egemen Tümen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aníbal Arruda saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 59 played minutes Jumeuc Futebol Clube got a freekick which was hit by Patrick Sarmento. Paşa Rıdvan was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 60th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After 62 played minutes Jumeuc Futebol Clube got a freekick which was hit by Giovanni Diniz. Paşa Rıdvan took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 63rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Aníbal Arruda. Jumeuc Futebol Clube's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 67 minutes into the match, Yaman Academy®'s goal looked a bit too open when Dagoberto Guerra came free, but Ceyhan Yavuz reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some careless play in the Yaman Academy® defense, Jacinto Vale kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Ceyhan Yavuz. The Yaman Academy® fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Ceyhan Yavuz should have stopped the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aydın Ilıcan in the 71st minute of play forced Jumeuc Futebol Clube's goalkeeper Aníbal Arruda to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Aydın Ilıcan's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Aníbal Arruda was relentless in the 74th minute of the game. Mehmet Ediz Torgay received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. Aníbal Arruda tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 78 minutes into the game, Anıl Berk Yıldız was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

After having played for 95 minutes, Ahmet Reha Beyhan managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Yaman Academy®'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Ahmet Reha Beyhan was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
