Wrote: EP's reporter in Ankara Fatih Ozkan

Ankaragucu, who brought Sakip Ozberk for the management draw with this season's flashing team, played against Caykur Rizespor. Beshir El Tabei continued his suspension, while Ahmed Salah Hosny played only fifteen minutes but could not produce the winning goal. Mohamed Gouda was once again not selected for Ankaragucu.




First Half:

In the tenth minute, Cem Baki met the ball on the left edge of the area and shot fiercely but it was deflected by the defenders.

In the twentieth minute, Hakan Keles who saw the opportunity when the defenders were confused, found the ball in front, and shot it towards the goal, but the ball was cleared off the defenders after it bounced off Zdravkov.

Seven minutes later, a corner kick was directed by Koray to Kursat who jumped well to head the ball but it was controlled by the Ankaragucu keeper with ease.

In the minute 33, Tchango tried his luck from well outside the area but Zdravkov was keen enough to get hold of the ball.

In the minute thirty-seven, Rize's Zafer entered the area from the left and hit the ball fiercely but it was taken with control by the goalkeeper.

A minute later, Zafer crossed the ball from the right to Okan but Ankaragucu's keeper, also called Zafer, controlled the ball while flying in the air.

No side was able to produce a single goal in the remaining minutes and the first half ended goalless.

Second Half:


In the minute 49, Cem Baki crossed the ball into the area to Okan who headed the ball in a well-deserved opportunity but the ball went near the post.

Three minutes later, Zengue intercepted the pass of the Caykur Rizespor's defenders and gave the ball short to Hakan Keles but Kursat saved a goal in the last instant.

In the minute 62, with the cross of Hakan Keles from the left, Adem fought to get the ball before the defenders but he was not successful

In the minute seventy-two, Zengue crossed well from the left flank and in the scramble neither Hakan Keles nor Umut could touch the ball and the defenders cleared.

At this stage, the Rize manager chose to use Ahmed Salah Hosny, who replaced Sozkesen with quarter of an hour left.

Four minutes later, Hakan Keles found the ball in front and then shot fiercely but it was deflected by Zdravkov. Afterwards, on the bouncing ball, Umut hit the bar with his header and the ball went out.

Just eight minutes before the final whistle, Hakan Keles crossed from the left to Umut waiting at the far post, who headed the ball well but it skimmed the post.

The match ended goalless.
