The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. 9 minutes into the match, O.T.E's goal looked a bit too open when Dumitru Drăghici came free, but Vrasidas Pelidis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
