Wrote: EP's reporter in Ankara Fatih Ozkan

The hosts Sakaryaspor got the first win of the season as they played the in-form Ankaragucu. Ankaragucu fans were furious about the result and they intervened the game several times throwing the seats at the playing ground.





First Half:

Sakaryaspor was the dominant side in the game in the first half as they did not give any chances to the visitors in the first twenty minutes and found the net in the minute forty.

In the minute 13, Sakarya's Burak gave a pass to Mahmut from the right of the area and Mahmut took a fierce shot but Orkun got the ball with ease.

In the minute twenty-five, Ozgur gave a long pass from the midfield to Yilmaz before Yilmaz took a crashing shot on the goal but Recep dispatched the ball with difficulty.

Just four minutes later, Burak controlled the ball crossed by Hasan from the right into the area and shot the ball towards the goal but Orkun saved the ball.

In the minute 32, Ragip used a freekick and sent the ball into the area. Burak shot the ball towards the goal in a difficult position but Orkun did not allow the ball to find the net.

Six minutes later, Ayhan crossed the ball from the right and Umut headed the ball but Recep got the ball with an excellent save.

Five minutes before the half time, the official awarded a free-kick for the hosts as Burak was tackled just outside the area. Serdal fired the free-kick and found the net: 1-0.

Serdal scored the only goal of the first half and the visitors left the pitch dissatisfied with their own play.

Second Half:


Gouda was replaced with another foreign player, Guel, at the beginning of the second half.

In the minute 50, Faruk made a long range shot and Guel got the bouncing ball and shot but he saw the ball going out just near the post.

In the minute fifty-eight, Ankaragucu supporters pulled off the seats and threw them at the playing ground furiously.

Abdulkadir crossed the ball from the left into the area and Burak jumped well but he headed the ball to Orkun, with just under an hour gone.

Four minutes later, Ankaragucu had a man advantage as Sakarya's Gokhan Kok was sent off as he made a unprofessional challenge on Yilmaz.

Just four minutes before the final whistle, Evren crossed the ball from the left on the by-line and Umut jumped to the flying ball but Recep made a fabulous save.

1-0 was the final score.
