Spectators: 161 (Terracing: 121, Seating: 37, VIP seats: 3) Pavlos Kastanopoulos made the kick off and thus started the match. Alkaios Mavrofidis blasted a shot towards the goal in the 4th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Stefanos Manolopoulos having to make a save. After having played for 5 minutes, Michalis Theodorakos managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Punk Fathers's supporters crossed their fingers, but Michalis Theodorakos was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Stefanos Manolopoulos showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alkaios Mavrofidis, who was totally free with the ball in the 8th minute. Thalis Pantazis's late challenge caught a ERGOTELIS's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Thalis Pantazis helped the player get up and apologised. Michalis Theodorakos blasted a shot towards the goal in the 13th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Panos Drambas having to make a save. If Michalis Theodorakos had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 14th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 17thth minute of the game Panagiotis Grigorakos who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but ERGOTELIS's Panos Drambas was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. A nice corner shot did that Loukas Kallitsis got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Panos Drambas quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. After some fancy dribbling in the 20th minute, Pavlos Kastanopoulos managed to get in a good position for a shot. ERGOTELIS's supporters rose to their feet, but Pavlos Kastanopoulos was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Stefanos Manolopoulos breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 27th minute Michalis Theodorakos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Panos Drambas saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Panos Drambas came out of the goal in the 29th minute to try and stop a shot by Punk Fathers's Panagiotis Grigorakos. But to his dismay, Panagiotis Grigorakos quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. After a defensive mix-up in ERGOTELIS's zone, Panagiotis Grigorakos stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Panos Drambas came out of the goal and Panagiotis Grigorakos tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Panagiotis Grigorakos made the kick off in the second half. ERGOTELIS's Panos Drambas proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 53rd minute of the match, managed to save ERGOTELIS from getting a goal against them. After 54 minutes ERGOTELIS's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Ntinos Vlontakis who took care of the corner kick. The corner ended in Ntinos Vlontakis almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but ERGOTELIS's Panos Drambas did a great save. Panos Drambas made a fantastic save in the 56th minute, when Michalis Theodorakos sent off a good shot on target. Menelaos Moutafis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 57th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Pavlos Kastanopoulos struck a weak shot in the 59th minute. Stefanos Manolopoulos didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for ERGOTELIS. Panos Drambas didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Michalis Theodorakos went, in the 60th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. Pavlos Kastanopoulos's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Stefanos Manolopoulos read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 65th minute of play. When the match had gone on for 67 minutes, Panagiotis Grigorakos took a quick shot and it went in 0-4 without a chance for Panos Drambas to make any attempt to save it. Alkaios Mavrofidis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 70th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Alkaios Mavrofidis fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Stefanos Manolopoulos having to interfere. Thalis Pantazis got his second yellow card in the match during the 77th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. After 78 played minutes Punk Fathers got a freekick which was hit by Thalis Pantazis. 82 minutes into the match, ERGOTELIS's Pavlos Kastanopoulos sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Stefanos Manolopoulos narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After some careless play in the ERGOTELIS defense, Loukas Kallitsis kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Panos Drambas. The ERGOTELIS fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Panos Drambas should have stopped the shot. 90 minutes into the match, Giorgos Tsagaropoulos had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Stefanos Manolopoulos. Punk Fathers's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Giorgos Tsagaropoulos was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-5. When the match had gone on for 94 minutes, Pavlos Kastanopoulos put it in 2-5 from a short distance just to the right of Stefanos Manolopoulos. Punk Fathers's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
