Orchomenós Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Theofanis Kostakos took the kick off in the first half of the match. A collision led to A.E. MΠΑΜΠΙΝΗΣ getting a freekick after 2 minutes play. Markos Remoundos hit a great ball. Iordanis Tirovolas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Markos Milonopoulos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 13 minutes into the match, A.E. MΠΑΜΠΙΝΗΣ's goal looked a bit too open when Theofanis Kostakos came free, but Markos Milonopoulos reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Iordanis Tirovolas might have been able to make a better finish in the 14th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Markos Milonopoulos. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Iordanis Tirovolas ran back to his position shaking his head. Christoforos Papafotoulis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Theofanis Kostakos had several of the A.E. MΠΑΜΠΙΝΗΣ's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 19 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Markos Milonopoulos as he didn't even see the shot coming. In the 33rd minute of the match, Iordanis Tirovolas got a very nice opportunity to score, but Markos Milonopoulos was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post. Iordanis Tirovolas recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 38th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Iordanis Tirovolas could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 40th minute of the match, but Markos Milonopoulos made a huge save. Loukianos Spiliotopoulos struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Tilemachos Skapaneas didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for A.E. MΠΑΜΠΙΝΗΣ. When Christoforos Papafotoulis came up free with the goalie in the 48th minute, the A.E. MΠΑΜΠΙΝΗΣ 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 Christoforos Papafotoulis couldn't finish the play. Af the end of the first half the score was 2-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Christoforos Papafotoulis to make the kick off. Theofanis Kostakos received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 54th minute. Markos Milonopoulos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the match had gone on for 60 minutes, Christoforos Papafotoulis took a quick shot and it went in 2-1 without a chance for Tilemachos Skapaneas to make any attempt to save it. Christos Psichomanis hit a great freekick 64 minutes into the match. After 65 played minutes, Orchomenós FC's Zinon Zoras shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Markos Milonopoulos 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 Orchomenós FC reached it. An unexpectedly hard shot by Iordanis Tirovolas in the 67th minute of play forced A.E. MΠΑΜΠΙΝΗΣ's goalkeeper Markos Milonopoulos to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Iordanis Tirovolas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 69th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Theofanis Kostakos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Markos Remoundos hit a great freekick 76 minutes into the match. If Theofanis Kostakos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 79th minute, Iordanis Tirovolas ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Markos Milonopoulos was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. Theofanis Kostakos's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Markos Milonopoulos read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 83rd minute of play. After having played for 85 minutes, Theofanis Kostakos managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Orchomenós FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Theofanis Kostakos was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Orchomenós FC's Tilemachos Skapaneas proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 88th minute of the match, managed to save Orchomenós FC from getting a goal against them. After some careless play in the A.E. MΠΑΜΠΙΝΗΣ defense, Theofanis Kostakos kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Markos Milonopoulos. The A.E. MΠΑΜΠΙΝΗΣ fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Markos Milonopoulos should have stopped the shot. There was no doubt that Orchomenós FC were the better team. Orchomenós FC's players enjoyed the ovations of the crowd after the victory.
