Pavlos Haritos kicked well hit freekick during the 4th minute of the match. In the 9th minute Thomas Pavli shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ilias Bourikas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ilias Bourikas took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Thomas Pavli, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 13th minute Alkibiades Rallis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ilias Bourikas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Cristinel Ronaldos short, quick shot in the 21stth minute got Charis Chrysanthopoulos to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. 22 minutes into the game, Aison Lipsanos was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Bardhikósta FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Southampton F.C. the free kick. In the 22nd match minute, Bardhikósta FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Aison Lipsanos to maneuver through the defense. Alkibiades Rallis scored 0-1 in the 24th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ilias Bourikas, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 28 minutes into the match, Alkibiades Rallis had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Ilias Bourikas. Southampton F.C.'s manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Alkibiades Rallis was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. The supporters of Southampton F.C. booed when Bardhikósta FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 30 match minutes in a wonderful position. Likourgos Zaloumi didn't get a good kick on the ball. Thomas Pavli blasted a shot towards the goal in the 33rd minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Ilias Bourikas having to make a save. In the 35th minute, Thomas Pavli left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Bardhikósta FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-3. In the 38th minute Thomas Pavli shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ilias Bourikas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Cristinel Ronaldo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 47 minutes into the match, Bardhikósta FC's goalkeeper Charis Chrysanthopoulos had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Cristinel Ronaldo. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Alkibiades Rallis to make the kick off. The Southampton F.C. fans' excitement grew in the 56th match minute when Southampton F.C.'s Cristinel Ronaldo looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-3 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. When Southampton F.C.'s Cristinel Ronaldo in the 62nd minute got a chance for a shot 62nd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Bardhikósta FC's goalie prevented a goal. After a defensive mix-up in Bardhikósta FC's zone, Haimon Kapataidakis stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Charis Chrysanthopoulos came out of the goal and Haimon Kapataidakis tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Haimon Kapataidakis fell near the penalty area in the 69th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Southampton F.C.'s protests and gave Haimon Kapataidakis a yellow card for diving instead. Haimon Kapataidakis kicked well hit freekick during the 69th minute of the match. After having played for 70 minutes, Thomas Pavli managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bardhikósta FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Thomas Pavli was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 78 minutes into the match, Southampton F.C.'s goal looked a bit too open when Alkibiades Rallis came free, but Ilias Bourikas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ilias Bourikas didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Thomas Pavli went, in the 81st minute, to the upper right corner, 1-5 was the resulting score. After 83 played minutes Southampton F.C. got a freekick which was hit by Haimon Kapataidakis.
