The wind increased when Prodromos Koukoulopoulos made the kick off in the second half.

In the 75th minute, Panagiotis Nikas hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Ignatios Bouzoukis came up free with the goalie in the 80th minute, the Koutselion fans jumped to their feet.
