Odaigνtria Stadium
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Loukas Labrou took the kick off in the first half of the match. Stamatis Tzanetoulakos recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 3rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Mιligos's zone, Stamatis Tzanetoulakos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Spyros Vamvakoulas came out of the goal and Stamatis Tzanetoulakos tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Stefanos Giannaridis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Stamatis Tzanetoulakos might have been able to make a better finish in the 9th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Spyros Vamvakoulas. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Stamatis Tzanetoulakos ran back to his position shaking his head. After having played for 12 minutes, Babbis Kazantzakoglou managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Oasdigνtria FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Babbis Kazantzakoglou was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The audience was convinced that Alkis Malezas's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Apostolos Kantas was relentless in the 14th minute of the game. After some careless play in the Oasdigνtria FC defense, Paraskevas Thanoulis kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Apostolos Kantas. The Oasdigνtria FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Apostolos Kantas should have stopped the shot. If Stamatis Tzanetoulakos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mιligos's Spyros Vamvakoulas proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 21st minute of the match, managed to save Mιligos from getting a goal against them.

When Loukas Labrou fell near the penalty area in the 38th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Mιligos's protests and gave Loukas Labrou a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Oasdigνtria FC booed when Mιligos was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 38 match minutes in a wonderful position. Loukas Labrou didn't get a good kick on the ball. The long shot by Vaggelis Kakouriotis in the 40th minute really tested Spyros Vamvakoulas's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Panos Bougatsas came free with the goalkeeper in the 44th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Spyros Vamvakoulas could save by the left post.
