Spectators: 7583 (Terracing: 5751, Seating: 1762, VIP seats: 70) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ignatios Brilakis made the kick off which started today's match. When the match had gone on for 5 minutes, Makis Argyrakis took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for 邱谦昂 to make any attempt to save it. With a couple of smart ball manuevers 梅康杰 in the 12th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Fanis Sigalas saved ΟΦΗ from getting behind. In the 16th match minute, ΟΦΗ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Louis Martinakos to maneuver through the defense. 17 minutes into the match, ΟΦΗ's goal looked a bit too open when 秦浩西 came free, but Fanis Sigalas reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 18 minutes, Sofoklis Stathatos mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ΟΦΗ and the 【AC】Black Dragon-黑龙江冰城 FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After a rather tough play, ΟΦΗ's Sofoklis Stathatos got a free kick in the 18th minute. Fanis Sigalas took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from 齐然竞, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 31st minute of the match Sofoklis Stathatos shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but 邱谦昂 showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ignatios Brilakis during the 33rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 33rd minute, Ignatios Brilakis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 梅康杰 fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 39th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fanis Sigalas having to interfere. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 1-0 at half-time.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell 梅康杰 to make the kick off. When 韩磊振 fell near the penalty area in the 51st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored 【AC】Black Dragon-黑龙江冰城 FC's protests and gave 韩磊振 a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of ΟΦΗ booed when 【AC】Black Dragon-黑龙江冰城 FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 51 match minutes in a wonderful position. 韩磊振 didn't get a good kick on the ball. When 韩磊振 was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 52 minutes had been played. 韩磊振 hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. When ΟΦΗ's Ignatios Brilakis in the 64th minute got a chance for a shot 64th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye 【AC】Black Dragon-黑龙江冰城 FC's goalie prevented a goal. In the 66th match minute, 【AC】Black Dragon-黑龙江冰城 FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by 傅帆雄 to maneuver through the defense. 邱谦昂 made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ignatios Brilakis in the 71st minute of play. In the 78thth minute of the game Ignatios Brilakis who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but 【AC】Black Dragon-黑龙江冰城 FC's 邱谦昂 was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 【AC】Black Dragon-黑龙江冰城 FC's 邱谦昂 played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ignatios Brilakis in the 82nd minute of play. 傅帆雄 sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ignatios Brilakis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without 邱谦昂 having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ignatios Brilakis in the 93rd minute of play forced 【AC】Black Dragon-黑龙江冰城 FC's goalkeeper 邱谦昂 to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. ΟΦΗ were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of 【AC】Black Dragon-黑龙江冰城 FC for a fine match.
