Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Nikos Tsitouras kicked off to start the match. In a very dangerous position, a player in Kokkinóyion fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 10th minute. Penalty! The referee gave Ayios Yeoryios a penalty, 12 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Theofanis Patsavouras, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Kokkinóyion's Panos Soufridis. 0-1. Nikos Lazariou fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Panos Soufridis having to interfere. Filippos Sakelariou fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Panos Soufridis having to interfere.

After 30 minutes of play, Ayios Yeoryios's Nikos Lazariou made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Panos Soufridis was left in no man's land by his defense there! Nikos Lazariou might have been able to make a better finish in the 38th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Panos Soufridis. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Nikos Lazariou ran back to his position shaking his head. 40 minutes into the match, Christodoulos Kouroupetzoglou dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Stefanos Laskarakis, 1-3. Tolis Papaspyrou received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Stefanos Laskarakis tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Ayios Yeoryios's zone, Christodoulos Kouroupetzoglou stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Stefanos Laskarakis came out of the goal and Christodoulos Kouroupetzoglou tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-3 lead.
