GREEN LIONS Stadium
Spectators: 163 (Terracing: 123, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Demis Laggizos started the match with the kick off. When the match had gone on for 3 minutes, Demis Laggizos put it in 1-0 from a short distance just to the right of Júlio Porto. In the 8th minute, Demis Laggizos ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Júlio Porto was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-0. Ignatios Papachronakis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Júlio Porto having to interfere. In the 14th minute, Cristian Pernambucano made a precise shot to the right of Vaggelis Pantelidis. GREEN LIONS's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. 20 minutes into the match, Fúria Futebol Clube's goal looked a bit too open when Demis Laggizos came free, but Júlio Porto reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 22nd play minute Demis Laggizos came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Júlio Porto. 4-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Valdir de Senna managed to get in a good position for a shot. Fúria Futebol Clube's supporters rose to their feet, but Valdir de Senna was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Vaggelis Pantelidis breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a defensive mix-up in Fúria Futebol Clube's zone, Gerasimos Vasilarakos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Júlio Porto came out of the goal and Gerasimos Vasilarakos tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Filippos Kopelis in the 31st minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Júlio Porto prevented the ball from getting in the gole. A collision led to GREEN LIONS getting a freekick after 33 minutes play. Gerasimos Vasilarakos hit a great ball. Júlio Porto was out of position in the 36 minute of play, and Filippos Kopelis capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Filippos Kopelis really showed his touch with that goal: 5-1. Gerasimos Vasilarakos blasted a shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Júlio Porto having to make a save. Júlio Porto made a fantastic save in the 43rd minute, when Ignatios Papachronakis sent off a good shot on target. 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 7-1.

Ignatios Papachronakis struck a weak shot in the 53rd minute. Júlio Porto didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for GREEN LIONS. When Filippos Kopelis came up free with the goalie in the 54th minute, the GREEN LIONS 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 Filippos Kopelis couldn't finish the play. When the match clock showed 61 minutes, the score became 8-1 when Filippos Kopelis sped through Fúria Futebol Clube's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Júlio Porto. Júlio Porto showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Filippos Kopelis in the 64th minute of the match. 76 minutes into the game, GREEN LIONS's Dimitris Petriniotis nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Júlio Porto made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 11-1. If Filippos Kopelis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After having played for 82 minutes, Filippos Trontzos managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. GREEN LIONS's supporters crossed their fingers, but Filippos Trontzos was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Dimitris Petriniotis recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 84th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 89th minute, Filippos Kopelis ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Júlio Porto was frozen by the shot and now it was 13-1. Demis Laggizos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 97th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. GREEN LIONS fully deserved thier win.
