Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Loukas Manolakos made the kick off which started today's match. A hard shot by Minas Schortsianitis from long distance, 6 minutes into the match, got Vassilis Ioannou's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. If Stratos Karavitis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Vaggelis Kiotseridis received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 12th minute. Kostas Pelekoudis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Minas Schortsianitis hit a great freekick 21 minutes into the match. Kostas Pelekoudis stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Vaggelis Kiotseridis's shot from short distance in the 29th minute. Kostas Pelekoudis took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Vaggelis Kiotseridis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Koutsopapoúla BC's Kostas Pelekoudis played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Loukas Manolakos in the 32nd minute of play. Loukas Manolakos struck a weak shot in the 41st minute. Kostas Pelekoudis didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gourdhesi. Vaggelis Kiotseridis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

In the 55th minute the ball was on its way in behind Gourdhesi's goalkeeper Vassilis Ioannou, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Stratos Karavitis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vassilis Ioannou having to interfere. Kostas Pelekoudis showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Loukas Manolakos in the 75th minute of the match. Vaggelis Kiotseridis recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 77th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Panagiotis Palaskas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Vassilis Ioannou tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Panagiotis Palaskas in the 85th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Vassilis Ioannou saved Gourdhesi from getting behind. With a little luck, Koutsopapoúla BC's Kostas Pelekoudis got control of the ball when Vaggelis Kiotseridis tried to sneak it across the goal line.
