Káto Lipokhórion Sta
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Alkis Kastras kicked off to start the match. Emmanouil Kosmas scored 0-1 in the 6th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Argyris Kyprianos, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Christos Polichronos during the 10th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 9 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Káto Lipokhórion! In the 19th minute, Emmanouil Kosmas left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Mastoratika fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-3. After some fancy dribbling in the 21st minute, Alkis Kastras managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mastoratika's supporters rose to their feet, but Alkis Kastras was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Argyris Kyprianos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Thomas Dentzas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.
