League Play-Off

Partalia Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Ermis Papageorgakos made the kick off and thus started the match. 5 minutes into the match, Ermis Papageorgakos notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Partalia's Antonis Kakouris. Antonis Kakouris was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The supporters of Knights Of Ni booed when Partalia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 14 match minutes in a wonderful position. Anthimos Nekos didn't get a good kick on the ball. Anthimos Nekos's late challenge caught a Knights Of Ni's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Anthimos Nekos helped the player get up and apologised. After 17 played minutes Partalia got a freekick which was hit by Anthimos Nekos. Antonis Kakouris took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Anthimos Minou, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 27 minutes into the match, Anthimos Minou had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Antonis Kakouris. Partalia's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Anthimos Minou was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Ermis Papageorgakos fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Antonis Kakouris having to interfere. 38 minutes into the game, Apostolos Mitsias was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Knights Of Ni's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Partalia the free kick. After a rather tough play, Knights Of Ni's Apostolos Mitsias got a free kick in the 38th minute. A hard shot by Tolis Konstantellos from long distance, 39 minutes into the match, got Dimitris Zografidis's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Theofanis Kallas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 45th minute Anthimos Minou shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Antonis Kakouris saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Anthimos Minou had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The wind increased when Theofanis Kallas made the kick off in the second half. Valerios Stelakoglou charged in rather forcefully in the 53rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Valerios Stelakoglou the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 53rd match minute, Partalia was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Valerios Stelakoglou to maneuver through the defense. Anthimos Minou in the 59thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Antonis Kakouris, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ermis Papageorgakos in the 63rd minute of play forced Partalia's goalkeeper Antonis Kakouris to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Knights Of Ni's Giorgos Kouloucheris shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 66th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Antonis Kakouris but with some difficulty. The goalkeeper, Antonis Kakouris, was totally fooled by Knights Of Ni's Eugenios Kondilis, who 72 minutes into the game made a penalty shot that went in on the goalkeeper's left side. 75 minutes into the match, Partalia's goal looked a bit too open when Ermis Papageorgakos came free, but Antonis Kakouris reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 79th minute of the match, Ermis Papageorgakos tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Antonis Kakouris saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. Antonis Kakouris was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Ermis Papageorgakos showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 0-4 in the 87 minute of play. Knights Of Ni made a substitution. Akakios Vasilas replaced Ermis Papageorgakos. 97 minutes into the match, Partalia's goal looked a bit too open when Akakios Vasilas came free, but Antonis Kakouris reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the match was over Knights Of Ni could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Partalia throughout the match.
