Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Fotis Papadimas got the match started through his kick off. If Giannis Nekos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 15th minute Giorgos Natsikas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Giotis Diamantopoulos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Giotis Diamantopoulos was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Giorgos Natsikas showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-0 in the 16 minute of play. Vassilis Symeonakis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Giotis Diamantopoulos having to interfere. Giotis Diamantopoulos made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Fotis Papadimas in the 24th minute of play. 28 minutes into the game, Christos Ntasios was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. O.T.E's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Seahawks V55 the free kick. After 29 played minutes O.T.E got a freekick which was hit by Christos Ntasios. After a defensive mix-up in O.T.E's zone, Giannis Nekos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Stamatis Bravos came out of the goal and Giannis Nekos tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A collision led to O.T.E getting a freekick after 30 minutes play. Vassilis Symeonakis hit a great ball. 34 minutes into the game, O.T.E's Fotis Papadimas nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Giotis Diamantopoulos made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-0. In the 43rd minute Giorgos Natsikas shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Giotis Diamantopoulos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. O.T.E's Stamatis Bravos played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Giannis Nekos in the 46th minute of play. When Thanos Kalfoglou came up free with the goalie in the 48th minute, the Seahawks V55 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 Thanos Kalfoglou couldn't finish the play. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Giannis Nekos was the one to do the kick off. Stamatis Bravos took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Thanos Kalfoglou, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Stamatis Bravos stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Thanos Kalfoglou's shot from short distance in the 60th minute. After 67 minutes, Giannis Nekos mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Seahawks V55 and the O.T.E players grew even worse after the yellow card. The audience thought a goal was coming when Giannis Nekos got free with Stamatis Bravos in the 71st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 72 minutes into the match, Seahawks V55's goal looked a bit too open when Fotis Papadimas came free, but Giotis Diamantopoulos reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 78th play minutes Thanos Kalfoglou shot 3-1, a short shot which went by Stamatis Bravos and just under the crossbar into goal. After a rather tough play, O.T.E's Thrasivoulos Stamatis got a free kick in the 85th minute. The nice shot from Giannis Nekos in the 87thth minute just in front of the goal should have ended in point on the board, but Stamatis Bravos had a great feel for the game and superbly saved the ball from getting in by the left post. After 88 played minutes Seahawks V55 got a freekick which was hit by Iordanis Christodoulakis. The audience thought a goal was coming when Giannis Nekos got free with Stamatis Bravos in the 94th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 95th minute, Nikos Tsimilis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a rather tough play, Seahawks V55's Periklis Asimakis got a free kick in the 96th minute. For all the effort they put into the match, the Seahawks V55 players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for O.T.E.
