Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Kanake Papadis took the kick off in the first half of the match. With his leg Polybos Phocas managed to avoid a goal in the 6thth minute, when Δικεφαλος Αετος's Zinon Houlis fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After 9 minutes of play, Le Cabaret's Timos Softhis made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Fotis Softhis was left in no man's land by his defense there! An unexpectedly hard shot by Timos Softhis in the 12th minute of play forced Δικεφαλος Αετος's goalkeeper Fotis Softhis to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Polybos Phocas made an important save on a dangerous shot by Zinon Houlis in the 14th minute. Lakis Pintzopoulos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Polybos Phocas came out of the goal in the 17th minute to try and stop a shot by Δικεφαλος Αετος's Zinon Houlis. But to his dismay, Zinon Houlis quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. When Kroios Stagias fell near the penalty area in the 20th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Le Cabaret's protests and gave Kroios Stagias a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Le Cabaret's Kroios Stagias got a free kick in the 20th minute. In the 22nd minute Kroios Stagias shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fotis Softhis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match had gone on for 26 minutes, Lakis Pintzopoulos took a quick shot and it went in 2-1 without a chance for Polybos Phocas to make any attempt to save it.

With his leg Polybos Phocas managed to avoid a goal in the 38thth minute, when Δικεφαλος Αετος's Zinon Houlis fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After some careless play in the Δικεφαλος Αετος defense, Kanake Papadis kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Fotis Softhis. The Δικεφαλος Αετος fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Fotis Softhis should have stopped the shot. The first half was very even, with the score at 2-2 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

57 minutes into the match, Le Cabaret's Kanake Papadis sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Fotis Softhis narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 62nd minute, Zinon Houlis got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Kadmos Beldekas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 65th minute. Polybos Phocas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Le Cabaret booed when Δικεφαλος Αετος was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Thorikos Katevatis didn't get a good kick on the ball.

If Kadmos Beldekas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Δικεφαλος Αετος's Fotis Softhis proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 95th minute of the match, managed to save Δικεφαλος Αετος from getting a goal against them. Le Cabaret played a much better game than Δικεφαλος Αετος and deserved their victory. The Δικεφαλος Αετος players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
