The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. GREEK ARMY's Alkaios Leontaras managed, thanks to a brazen rush, stole the ball on a throw-in made by Theofilos Malesios in the 7 minute of the game. In the 10th minute the ball was on its way in behind GREEK ARMY's goalkeeper Babbis Geropanagiotis, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Kleanthis Karabelopoulos blasted a shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Babbis Geropanagiotis having to make a save. 26 minutes into the game, Panos Athanasiadis cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Stathis Seremetidis was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Menios Leras sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

Menios Leras received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. Babbis Geropanagiotis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 63rd minute of the match Anastasios Marinos shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Babbis Geropanagiotis showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Stathis Pagonakis hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. Babbis Geropanagiotis took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Stathis Pagonakis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Alkaios Leontaras charged in rather forcefully in the 71st minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Alkaios Leontaras the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, GREEK ARMY's Alkaios Leontaras got a free kick in the 72nd minute. After 73 played minutes Skafνdhi FC got a freekick which was hit by Daniil Kotridis. When Skafνdhi FC's Kleanthis Karabelopoulos in the 77th minute got a chance for a shot 77th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye GREEK ARMY's goalie prevented a goal. Kleanthis Karabelopoulos might have been able to make a better finish in the 79th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Babbis Geropanagiotis. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Kleanthis Karabelopoulos ran back to his position shaking his head. After 87 played minutes, Skafνdhi FC's Ntinos Zouros shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Babbis Geropanagiotis 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 Skafνdhi FC reached it. GREEK ARMY were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
