Ilias Panopoulos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zinon Valassiou, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a defensive mix-up in A.E. MΠΑΜΠΙΝΗΣ's zone, Thodoris Briakos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Pantelis Kazanakis came out of the goal and Thodoris Briakos tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Andreas Papachronis received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute.
