Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) In the 5th minute Eutichios Skliros shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Babbis Valsamidis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ignatios Chloros made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Konstantinos Babalis in the 9th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Lazio FC's Fokas Veletzas got a free kick in the 10th minute.

Kleon Tsartsikidis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 18th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
