Spectators: 8586 (Terracing: 6449, Seating: 1977, VIP seats: 160) Ivan Copil made the kick off and thus started the match. Stefanos Maragos's late challenge caught a Manchester United's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Stefanos Maragos helped the player get up and apologised. Stefanos Maragos kicked well hit freekick during the 6th minute of the match. The audience thought it was a sure goal in the 8th minute, when Manchester United's Erwin-Alexander Verduyckt after having done a great run through the defense got himself free with Manolis Apostolakis in PAOK-RE4's goal and fired away a shot, but it missed the goal by a fraction of an inch. In the 12th minute Kyriakos Kortselis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Iosif Puric saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A hard shot 14 in the game by Ivan Copil from a close distance when the talented Manolis Apostolakis managed to make a qualified save. PAOK-RE4's players were relieved. Kyriakos Kortselis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Iosif Puric having to interfere. Ivan Copil's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Manolis Apostolakis read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 20th minute of play. Spyros Karastamatis could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 24th minute of the match, but Manolis Apostolakis made a huge save. Manolis Apostolakis showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kosmas Simertzidis in the 25th minute of the match. In the 27th minute the ball was on its way in behind PAOK-RE4's goalkeeper Manolis Apostolakis, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. When Kyriakos Kortselis fell near the penalty area in the 33rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored PAOK-RE4's protests and gave Kyriakos Kortselis a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, PAOK-RE4's Kyriakos Kortselis got a free kick in the 33rd minute. In the 34th minute, Spyros Karastamatis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Iosif Puric took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Michalis Telakis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 38 minutes had been played when some careless play by PAOK-RE4's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Erwin-Alexander Verduyckt was slow to take the kick. During this time Manchester United's players had a chance to rest.

The player immediately received a yellow card. Michalis Telakis hit a great freekick 41 minutes into the match. Iosif Puric showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kyriakos Kortselis in the 43rd minute of the match. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Kyriakos Kortselis was the one to do the kick off. 53 minutes into the match, Manchester United's goal looked a bit too open when Kyriakos Kortselis came free, but Iosif Puric reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Manchester United's Iosif Puric played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kyriakos Kortselis in the 59th minute of play. Manolis Apostolakis took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ivan Copil, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The corner ended in Erwin-Alexander Verduyckt almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but PAOK-RE4's Manolis Apostolakis did a great save. In the 69thth minute of the game Ivan Copil who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but PAOK-RE4's Manolis Apostolakis was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 70 minutes into the match, Manchester United's goal looked a bit too open when Aggelos Stathoulis came free, but Iosif Puric reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Erwin-Alexander Verduyckt in the 77th minute of play forced PAOK-RE4's goalkeeper Manolis Apostolakis to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Kosmas Simertzidis in the 80th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Manolis Apostolakis saved PAOK-RE4 from getting behind. If Ivan Copil had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Manchester United fully deserved thier win.
