Spectators: 7542 (Terracing: 5658, Seating: 1734, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Iason Kriaras made the kick off which started today's match. With a little luck, Radovizi BC's Notis Mitseas got control of the ball when Sotos Maratopoulos tried to sneak it across the goal line. Apostolis Lazaris sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 14 played minutes Cosa Nostra got a freekick which was hit by Vassilis Spazokefalos. The audience thought a goal was coming when Fotis Tsirigotakis got free with Notis Mitseas in the 17th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When the match clock showed 18 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Apostolis Lazaris sped through Cosa Nostra's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Markos Kois. Apostolis Lazaris received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Markos Kois tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 23 played minutes Radovizi BC got a freekick which was hit by Ntinos Nosis. Apostolis Lazaris sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. After a rather tough play, Cosa Nostra's Iason Kriaras got a free kick in the 29th minute. 33 minutes into the match, Apostolis Lazaris had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Markos Kois. Cosa Nostra's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Apostolis Lazaris was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. 38 minutes into the match, Radovizi BC's goal looked a bit too open when Sotos Maratopoulos came free, but Notis Mitseas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 41st minute, Vassilis Kritikopoulos 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. Markos Kois made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Apostolis Lazaris in the 43rd minute of play. The referee felt a red card was in order, 45 minutes into the game, when Lakis Kazakis put in a rough tackle. After 44 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Radovizi BC! In the 47th minute there was a penalty for Cosa Nostra. Stavros Kartalis stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Notis Mitseas. 1-2. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Pavlos Tzorvas to make the kick off. Vassilis Spazokefalos hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. Cosa Nostra's defense didn't have a chance, in the 58th minute, when Vassilis Kritikopoulos scored to the left of an out of position Markos Kois, making the score, 1-3. Radovizi BC's Panagiotis Kastanopoulos was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Markos Kois in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. Markos Kois showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Pavlos Tzorvas, who was totally free with the ball in the 68th minute. 69 minutes into the match, Radovizi BC's Kostas Kakaris sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Markos Kois narrowly saved just below the crossbar. When Christos Telios came up free with the goalie in the 71st minute, the Radovizi BC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Christos Telios couldn't finish the play. After having played for 75 minutes, Vassilis Kritikopoulos managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Radovizi BC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Vassilis Kritikopoulos was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 77 minutes into the game, Kostas Kakaris cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-4. Markos Kois was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Kostas Kakaris received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Markos Kois tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Pavlos Tzorvas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 92nd minute, Pavlos Tzorvas 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. Kostas Kakaris sent away a hard shot on goal in the 94th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Radovizi BC's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
