After the first half PANIONIOS FC were leading 1-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Renos Tzanetos stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Renos Tzanetos in the 52nd minute of play forced PANIONIOS FC's goalkeeper Fanis Stamoulis to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of PANIONIOS FC booed when KANARINIA FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Sotiris Kafkalas didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 61st minute, KANARINIA FC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Miltiadis Laspouras fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post.

In the 92nd minute, Theofanis Kostetsos hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 93 minutes into the game, Manos Chelioudakis was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. KANARINIA FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave PANIONIOS FC the free kick. Manos Chelioudakis kicked well hit freekick during the 93rd minute of the match. If Renos Tzanetos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the referee blew the final whistle jeers and boos were heard from the home team's supporters. They were angered to see KANARINIA FC lose a match they had controlled from the kick-off.
