Spectators: 7688 (Terracing: 5767, Seating: 1768, VIP seats: 153) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Antonis Tsigos made the kick off which started today's match. In the 5th match minute, Akhσmavron was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Stefanos Sakallieros to maneuver through the defense. 10 minutes into the match, Akhσmavron's goal looked a bit too open when Antonis Tsigos came free, but Savas Agapidis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 13 minutes into the match, Tasos Karnoupakis had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Valentinos Kyriakakoglou. Oxford University's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Tasos Karnoupakis was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After 26 minutes of play, Akhσmavron's Stefanos Sakallieros made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Valentinos Kyriakakoglou was left in no man's land by his defense there! After 28 played minutes Oxford University got a freekick which was hit by Akakios Anastasiou. Oxford University's Antonis Tsigos pulled a muscle in his back after 30 minutes and couldn't finish the game. After 30 minutes, Simos Tsivilikas mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Akhσmavron and the Oxford University players grew even worse after the yellow card. 38 minutes into the match, Orestis Petsoukis had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Valentinos Kyriakakoglou. Oxford University's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Orestis Petsoukis was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-3. Orestis Petsoukis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Valentinos Kyriakakoglou having to interfere. Disappointed in the 0-3 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Tasos Karnoupakis stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Valentinos Kyriakakoglou took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tasos Karnoupakis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Orestis Vouzas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Stefanos Sakallieros fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Valentinos Kyriakakoglou having to interfere. Akakios Anastasiou's late challenge caught a Akhσmavron's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Akakios Anastasiou helped the player get up and apologised. Akakios Anastasiou hit a great freekick 63 minutes into the match. Nikos Liberiou kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match. 67 minutes into the game, Timos Provatidis was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Oxford University's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Akhσmavron the free kick. A collision led to Oxford University getting a freekick after 67 minutes play. Timos Provatidis hit a great ball. When Louis Tsopakis fell near the penalty area in the 70th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Akhσmavron's protests and gave Louis Tsopakis a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Akhσmavron's Louis Tsopakis got a free kick in the 70th minute. In the 72nd minute Orestis Vouzas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Savas Agapidis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Akakios Anastasiou was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 79 minutes had been played. In the 79th minute, Akakios Anastasiou hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 82 played minutes Akhσmavron got a freekick which was hit by Thodoris Nousiadis. Valentinos Kyriakakoglou didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 86th minute, which inside left pole to 0-4. Valentinos Kyriakakoglou made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tasos Karnoupakis in the 90th minute of play. Timos Provatidis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Savas Agapidis having to interfere. The Akhσmavron supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Akhσmavron would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
