Spectators: 7507 (Terracing: 5631, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 150) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Diogenis Gittas kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the match, AC Milan's goal looked a bit too open when Emilio Etxatxu came free, but Nikos Kosmidis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 6th minute, AC Milan's Chatziantoniou Michail seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Chatziantoniou Michail the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of AC Milan protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Chatziantoniou Michail had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. After 5 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for AC Milan! In the 12th minute, Samuel Isaio made a precise shot to the right of Nikos Kosmidis. AC Milan's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-2. After 18 played minutes AC Milan got a freekick which was hit by Konstantinos Triantafyllopoulos.

Emilio Etxatxu scored 0-3 in the 21st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Nikos Kosmidis, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After some careless play in the AC Milan defense, Timoteo Rufo kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Nikos Kosmidis. The AC Milan fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Nikos Kosmidis should have stopped the shot. Timoteo Rufo scored 0-5 in the 31st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Nikos Kosmidis, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Nikos Kosmidis made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fabian Pello in the 36th minute of play. In the 37th minute, Timoteo Rufo left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Scofield fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-6. When Zisis Batsinilas fell near the penalty area in the 42nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored AC Milan's protests and gave Zisis Batsinilas a yellow card for diving instead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Timoteo Rufo was the one to do the kick off.

Antonis Ikonomeas took the ball and in the 76 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Constantino Mel. Constantino Mel dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-8. An unexpectedly hard shot by Samuel Isaio in the 80th minute of play forced AC Milan's goalkeeper Nikos Kosmidis to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 81 minutes into the match, Timoteo Rufo dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Nikos Kosmidis, 1-9.
