Wrote: EP's reporter in Turkey Fatih Ozkan

The game between the two competitive teams saw a 1-1 draw in the first half, but Ankaragucu's Birol made the winning goal dreams reality for his club. Meanwhile Gouda played for the first half.




First Half:

In the tenth minute, Gaziantep attacked as Ilhan crossed the ball from the right by-line to Devran who jumped well and headed the ball towards the goal: 0-1.

A minute later, Ankara's Umut entered the area from the right but sent the ball narrowly near the post.

In the minute 22 the equaliser came as Yilmaz has fired a free-kick from well away from the goal and the ball clipped Hasagic's fingertips and found the net: 1-1.

Seven minutes before the end of the first half, Ilhan entered the opponent's penalty area from the right corner and crossed the ball to Macanga but he could not head the ball towards the goal.

In the first half, Ankaragucu sat back and were happy to defend and they had a low passing percentage in the attacking positions, but the free-kick specialist Yilmaz had produced a goal despite this. Gaziantepspor had mainly attacked through the right channel via Ilhan.

Second Half:

Fresh-leg Niyazi replaced the formless Gouda, in order to add impact in the midfield.

Just three minutes after the half started, Gaziantep's Jaziri had the ball after Erdal's through pass but he could not beat Orkun to find the net.

In the minute 52, the ball was sent into the penalty area and Evren chested it before he shot the ball towards the goal, but Hasagic made a great save.

In the minute 70, Ankaragucu continued attacking as Yilmaz sent the corner kick into the area and Umut shot the ball over the bar.

In the minute eighty-six, the main man Egypt will face in the Libyan midfield, El Taib, did some spectacular feints and he
clearly passed four defenders, but could not complete the easy shot and he saw the ball narrowly near the post.

A minute before the normal time ended, Birol found the ball in front after Umut's clever pass and Birol got the winning goal for Ankaragucu! 2-1.
