Alexandros Lagidis started the match with the kick off. Alexandros Lagidis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Trifon Katogas hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. Kleon Valassiou came out of the goal in the 8th minute to try and stop a shot by Khalazσnion's Antonis Abaris. But to his dismay, Antonis Abaris quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0.

When Dasochσrion's Alexandros Lagidis in the 40th minute got a chance for a shot 40th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Khalazσnion's goalie prevented a goal. If Sotos Iliadis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Dasochσrion's Kleon Valassiou got control of the ball when Trifon Katogas tried to sneak it across the goal line. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 3-0 at half-time.
