Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Koulis Kouloucheris took the kick off in the first half of the match. 5 minutes into the match, Eurospeed Asti's goalkeeper Damiano Battisti had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Koulis Kouloucheris. After some careless play in the Kerkyra FC defense, Elia Pietrantoni kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Loukas Kois. The Kerkyra FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Loukas Kois should have stopped the shot. Elia Pietrantoni took the ball and in the 11 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Loukas Kois. Loukas Kois dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-3. Eurospeed Asti were awarded a corner in the 21th minute after Kerkyra FC's defender lost control of the ball, allowing it to roll out over the line. Edward Barr took the corner. Loukas Kois made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Elia Pietrantoni in the 26th minute of play. In the 32nd minute, Elia Pietrantoni left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Eurospeed Asti fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-4. An unexpectedly hard shot by Elia Pietrantoni in the 39th minute of play forced Kerkyra FC's goalkeeper Loukas Kois to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Daniel Alves kicked well hit freekick during the 41st minute of the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-4 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Elia Pietrantoni stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Grant Irø took the ball and in the 54 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Loukas Kois. Loukas Kois dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-5. If Giorgos Maragozis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Elia Pietrantoni got free with Loukas Kois in the 63rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 65th minute, Fausto Pinti ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Loukas Kois was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-6. Loukas Kois showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fausto Pinti, who was totally free with the ball in the 71st minute. With a little luck, Kerkyra FC's Loukas Kois got control of the ball when Elia Pietrantoni tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 83rd minute of the match, Fausto Pinti tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Loukas Kois saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line.
