Angνstri Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Valentinos Karapostolou made the kick off which started today's match. Theofilos Serpanos, 14 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After some careless play in the Angνstri defense, Vaggelis Antoniou kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Alkaios Zacharenios. The Angνstri fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Alkaios Zacharenios should have stopped the shot. Alkaios Zacharenios showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Iason Bochonis in the 24th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Angνstri's Dimitris Tsabouris got a free kick in the 25th minute. Alkaios Zacharenios stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Vaggelis Antoniou's shot from short distance in the 26th minute.

Alkaios Zacharenios showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Vaggelis Antoniou, who was totally free with the ball in the 28th minute. Iason Bochonis scored 0-2 in the 30th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Alkaios Zacharenios, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After having played for 41 minutes, Iason Bochonis managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Π.Α.Ο.Κ's supporters crossed their fingers, but Iason Bochonis was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The Angνstri players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Π.Α.Ο.Κ were winning 0-2.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Iason Bochonis to make the kick off. In the 51st match minute, Π.Α.Ο.Κ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Eustratios Markogiannakis to maneuver through the defense.

Vaggelis Antoniou fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 72nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Alkaios Zacharenios having to interfere. When the match clock showed 78 minutes, the score became 1-2 when Valentinos Karapostolou sped through Π.Α.Ο.Κ's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Apostolis Kartsolis. Valentinos Karapostolou might have been able to make a better finish in the 83rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Apostolis Kartsolis. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Valentinos Karapostolou ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 91st minute, Π.Α.Ο.Κ's Iason Bochonis ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Alkaios Zacharenios. Alkaios Zacharenios yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-3. In the 94th minute Iason Bochonis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alkaios Zacharenios saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Dimitris Tsabouris charged in rather forcefully in the 95th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down.
