Káto Pedhiná Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Giorgos Michaloliakos started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. 6 minutes into the game, Grigoris Robos was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Káto Pedhiná FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ardosis the free kick. Grigoris Robos kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. Apostolis Mouras recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 7th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After some careless play in the Ardosis defense, Grigoris Robos kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Dimitris Nekos. The Ardosis fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Dimitris Nekos should have stopped the shot. Ntinos Vernikos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Giorgos Sachinidis having to interfere. Apostolis Mouras sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Ntinos Vernikos came up free with the goalie in the 22nd minute, the Ardosis fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ntinos Vernikos couldn't finish the play. 2-1 became the score in the 25th minute when Giorgos Michaloliakos elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. With a little luck, Ardosis's Dimitris Nekos got control of the ball when Alexandros Skatzos tried to sneak it across the goal line. A collision led to Ardosis getting a freekick after 30 minutes play. Telis Leonidis hit a great ball. 35 minutes into the match, Káto Pedhiná FC's goal looked a bit too open when Ntinos Vernikos came free, but Giorgos Sachinidis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ardosis's Dimitris Nekos played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Giorgos Michaloliakos in the 37th minute of play. 42 minutes into the match, Káto Pedhiná FC's goal looked a bit too open when Ntinos Vernikos came free, but Giorgos Sachinidis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Alexandros Skatzos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

After having played for 59 minutes, Apostolis Mouras managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ardosis's supporters crossed their fingers, but Apostolis Mouras was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ntinos Vernikos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 75th minute the ball was on its way in behind Ardosis's goalkeeper Dimitris Nekos, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Apostolis Mouras had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 90th minute Giorgos Michaloliakos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Dimitris Nekos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Dimitris Nekos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Giorgos Michaloliakos, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Ardosis eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
