Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) After 2 played minutes Rνnglia got a freekick which was hit by Makis Karagiannopoulos. In the 8th minute the ball was on its way in behind Rνnglia's goalkeeper Anastasios Koufaliotis, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Vrasidas Briolas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Makis Karagiannopoulos hit a great freekick 10 minutes into the match. If Vrasidas Briolas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Valomándrion booed when Rνnglia was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Makis Karagiannopoulos didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Akis Papaefthimiou came up free with the goalie in the 25th minute, the Rνnglia 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 Akis Papaefthimiou couldn't finish the play. Vrasidas Briolas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Argyris Strevlos recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 36th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Akis Papaefthimiou had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 41 minutes, Vrasidas Briolas managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Valomándrion's supporters crossed their fingers, but Vrasidas Briolas was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Anastasios Koufaliotis took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Argyris Strevlos, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Akis Papaefthimiou was extremely unlucky when he, in the 45th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Argyris Strevlos struck a weak shot in the 47th minute. Anastasios Koufaliotis didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Valomándrion.

If Argyris Strevlos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 52nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Panos Xanthakis fell near the penalty area in the 55th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Valomándrion's protests and gave Panos Xanthakis a yellow card for diving instead. After 55 played minutes Valomándrion got a freekick which was hit by Panos Xanthakis. 56 minutes into the match, Panagiotis Petras notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of Valomándrion's Sotos Koukodimos. Sotos Koukodimos was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 60th minute Akis Papaefthimiou shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sotos Koukodimos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Akis Papaefthimiou came up free with the goalie in the 64th minute, the Rνnglia fans jumped to their feet.

Sotos Koukodimos made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Akis Papaefthimiou in the 66th minute of play.

After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Panagiotis Petras managed to get in a good position for a shot. Rνnglia's supporters rose to their feet, but Panagiotis Petras was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Sotos Koukodimos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Sotos Koukodimos showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Panagiotis Petras in the 89th minute of the match. Rνnglia's Spyros Giannakis was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Sotos Koukodimos in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in.
