In the 2nd minute of the match Minas Tassatos shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Vaggelis Karalis showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After having played for 7 minutes, Isidoros Kalantidis managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. ΤαΧαΜαΤαΧαΛαΣα's supporters crossed their fingers, but Isidoros Kalantidis was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Vaggelis Karalis came out of the goal and Notis Apostolakoglou tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
