Spectators: 7682 (Terracing: 5762, Seating: 1767, VIP seats: 153) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Akakios Petroulis kicked off to start the match. Grigoris Kokakias showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Isidoros Kalantidis in the 2nd minute of the match. In the 4th minute, Spyros Perpelidis got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Isidoros Kalantidis recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 5th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Isidoros Kalantidis might have been able to make a better finish in the 7th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Grigoris Kokakias. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Isidoros Kalantidis ran back to his position shaking his head. Grigoris Kokakias took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Spyros Perpelidis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The supporters of ΤαΧαΜαΤαΧαΛαΣα booed when Olympiakos S.F. Pagou was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 10 match minutes in a wonderful position. Paschalis Xilas didn't get a good kick on the ball. Spyros Perpelidis struck a weak shot in the 11th minute. Grigoris Kokakias didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ΤαΧαΜαΤαΧαΛαΣα. 12 minutes into the match, Isidoros Kalantidis notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Olympiakos S.F. Pagou's Grigoris Kokakias. Grigoris Kokakias was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 16 minutes into the match, ΤαΧαΜαΤαΧαΛαΣα's goalkeeper Vaggelis Karalis had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Paschalis Xilas. Akakios Petroulis received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Vaggelis Karalis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Spyros Perpelidis's late challenge caught a Olympiakos S.F. Pagou's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Spyros Perpelidis helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, ΤαΧαΜαΤαΧαΛαΣα's Spyros Perpelidis got a free kick in the 22nd minute. Giorgos Papadamos sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Giorgos Papadamos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 37th minute, Akakios Petroulis got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.

Vaggelis Karalis came out of the goal and Akakios Petroulis tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After the first half ΤαΧαΜαΤαΧαΛαΣα were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Grigoris Kokakias made an important save on a dangerous shot by Isidoros Kalantidis in the 52nd minute.

Vaggelis Karalis came out of the goal in the 62nd minute to try and stop a shot by Olympiakos S.F. Pagou's Akakios Petroulis.
