Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Thrasivoulos Kalabokis took the kick off in the first half of the match. Valkánon BC's Errikos Koutsopoulos shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 3rd minute of play. The shot was stopped by Ignatios Kefalopoulos but with some difficulty. 5 minutes into the match, Chrisostomos Rathosis dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Ignatios Kefalopoulos, 1-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Thrasivoulos Kalabokis in the 12th minute of play forced BLOW's goalkeeper Ignatios Kefalopoulos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After some careless play in the Valkánon BC defense, Giannis Mastrokostas kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Anastasios Mantziris. The Valkánon BC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Anastasios Mantziris should have stopped the shot. The supporters of BLOW booed when Valkánon BC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Chrisostomos Rathosis didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 26 played minutes, BLOW's Menelaos Moschos shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Anastasios Mantziris came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in BLOW reached it. If Thrasivoulos Kalabokis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Anastasios Mantziris showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Giannis Mastrokostas in the 35th minute of the match. Chrisostomos Rathosis hit a great freekick 35 minutes into the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 38th minute, Panagiotis Laskos managed to get in a good position for a shot. Valkánon BC's supporters rose to their feet, but Panagiotis Laskos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ignatios Kefalopoulos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 40 minutes, Thrasivoulos Kalabokis made it 2-1 with a short kick to the right side. BLOW's Ignatios Kefalopoulos tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-1.

The wind increased when Kostas Topouzoglou made the kick off in the second half. 51 minutes into the game, Chrisostomos Rathosis was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Valkánon BC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave BLOW the free kick.

Panagiotis Laskos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 56th minute. Ignatios Kefalopoulos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

In the 71st minute, Fotis Stokas hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Panagiotis Laskos came up free with the goalie in the 73rd minute, the Valkánon BC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Panagiotis Laskos couldn't finish the play. If Panagiotis Laskos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Valkánon BC fully deserved thier win.
