Stage 2
PO12 goals in 5 games. 2.4 goal per game - not as much this week. Kombassan Konyaspor 1-0 Sivasspor Kombassan Konyaspor was coming out first time after the Diyarbakır game and were going to play Sivasspor, who are better team away from their home. The score of the game also imlies such revelation. However the game was different. Either Konya was unlucky, or Sivas was very lucky. 6 balls were prevented by the Sivas posts and if we count the positions saved by Sivas goalkeeper Abdullah, it was one way event between Konya forwards and Sivas defense. Thanks to the penalty-kick goal, Konya managed to win a game which they should have won with a much bigger score. Altay 3-0 Şeker Altay was coming from a vesy disappointing game in Kayseri. Şeker was playing much better recently. But, again the home team was the much better team in the game and Altay got a well deserved 3-0 win. After Göztepe and Diyarbakır point losses, they still have hopes qualifying directly. Elazığspor 1-1 Diyarbakırspor The neighbour cities game ended in a 1-1 tie. Elazığ went ahead in the first half, but 10-man Diyarbakırspor came back and tied the game in the second half. Diyarbakır will be without their red-carded captain Kemalettin Şentürk this weekend. Hatayspor 2-3 İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi The goal duel ended on İstanbul BB's favour. Hatay went ahead just before the half. İstanbul tied early in the second half. The last 10 minutes were the most interesting part of the game. İstanbul went ahead at 80th minute. Hatay tied this time just three minutes later. But a substitute player Zafer got the game for İstanbul a minute later. Hacılar Erciyes 1-0 Göztepe The leader Göztepe was away at the Cinderella team Hacılar this weekend. Hacılar beat Göztepe on a goal by their scorer Özgür with a second half goal. Göztepe lost both the game but still leads the table on a goal difference over Konya. Göztepe's Zafer Uysal will iss the next weeks İzmir derby game against Altay because of the red card.

C1Classification Stage's two best teams in this group both won away games this week. Karabük beat Gaziantep BB in Gaziantep and Sakarya beat Sarıyer. The win gave Karabük 3 points margin at the bottom. They are closer to 6th Sarıyer then to 8th Bakırköy. Sakaryaspor's win meant much more, since it took them from the third position to the top of the group. Stage 3 may mean promotion to 1.League. The other games ended in ties.

C2İzmirspor opened the week with a win over Nazilli in their fight for the Super 2.league. İt was Nazilli's first away loss at Classification Stage. Karşıyaka kept pace the next day winning in Eskişehir. The home loss pushed Eskişehir into fear of relegation. Aydın got only one point in Turgutlu, but still leads with a comfy 9 points over İzmirspor. Bucaspor finally won 3 points since the much debated Karşıyaka game. The win gave them a 4 points margin over last place Salihli which had a bye week.

C3Just when I said something good about Kayseri last week, they lost two points at home. The win would mean a second place, but it was not meant to be. Çorlu is feeling better being 6 points better than Kırklarelispor. Üsküdar beat Kırklareli in the battle of the relegation. The win worths 6 points in the fight. The second half of the Classification would be more interesting to see how Kırklareli will recover. Gaziosmanpaşa finally won a game versus Güngören after losing points to promotion and relegation teams. In the game of the week, BB Ankaraspor scored 5 to Mobella. The chokers didn't choke this time. Kayseri's loss was also good news to them. The Team of the week: BB Ankaraspor Next week: Mobella (2) - Kırklareli (8) Özsahrayıcedid (7) - Çorlu (6) Kayseri (3) - Gaziosmanpaşa (4) Ankaraspor (1) - Güngören (5)
C4Akçaabat is going to the Stage 3. They now have 8 points margin with Hopa and 4 with Gümüşhane. The win in Bolu was very valuable, since Bolu started playing better again. Gümüşhane showed no mercy to Düzce when they were beating them in Düzce. This put Düzce deeper into the danger. More bad news came from Darıca and Amasya game since they got points and increased the gap to 7 points each. The Team of the week: Akçaabat Sebatspor K Next week: Hopa (3) - Gümüşhane (2) Düzce (8) - Amasya (7) Türk Telekom (4) - Akçaabat (1) Darıca (6) - Bolu (5)
C5Saturday game was the game for the group championship. Batman was just 1 point behind the leader Malatya and a win at home would make them leader with two points margin. The crowd witnessed five goals in this game, but unfortunately only two of them were for their team. Now Malatya is at the top with four points difference and it looks like they will win the group. Cizre also won an away. Their win was 4-0 over Ağrı. Their fight for the third place with Kırıkkale will get them closer to Batman soon, since they both keep winning and batman shows tiredness. Van won a game finally beating Şanlıurfaspor. The Team of the week: Malatyaspor K Next week: Batman (2) - Cizre (3) Kırıkkale (4) - Malatya (1) Van (6) - Ağrı (7) Şanlıurfa (5) W/O ASAŞ (withdrew)
