Spectators: 7713 (Terracing: 5786, Seating: 1774, VIP seats: 153) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Jorge Aresti got the match started through his kick off. Fanis Ntovas hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. Sotiris Banasas showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Modesto Lluques in the 4th minute of the match.

Manos Karagiannakis scored 2-0 in the 22nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Gaston Ekialde, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 25 played minutes ☘️☆VaMpI®3 † DyNaStY★☘️ got a freekick which was hit by Christos Papachristakis. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jorge Aresti in the 29th minute of play forced ☘️☆VaMpI®3 † DyNaStY★☘️'s goalkeeper Sotiris Banasas to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Manos Karagiannakis came up free with the goalie in the 30th minute, the ☘️☆VaMpI®3 † DyNaStY★☘️ 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 Manos Karagiannakis couldn't finish the play. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 33rd minute of the game. One of Clemen Team AFC★C.A.B.J★:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of ☘️☆VaMpI®3 † DyNaStY★☘️:s goal. In the 34th minute there was a penalty for ☘️☆VaMpI®3 † DyNaStY★☘️. Akakios Kokkalidis stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Gaston Ekialde. 3-0. Akakios Kokkalidis blasted a shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Gaston Ekialde having to make a save. Gaston Ekialde came out of the goal in the 43rd minute to try and stop a shot by ☘️☆VaMpI®3 † DyNaStY★☘️'s Akakios Kokkalidis. But to his dismay, Akakios Kokkalidis quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-0.

In the 55th minute Charilaos Sapounakis shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Gaston Ekialde saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Modesto Lluques might have been able to make a better finish in the 62nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Sotiris Banasas. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Modesto Lluques ran back to his position shaking his head. Charilaos Sapounakis recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 64th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Gaston Ekialde showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Charilaos Sapounakis in the 69th minute of the match. In the 71st match minute, ☘️☆VaMpI®3 † DyNaStY★☘️ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Avraam Pentedekas to maneuver through the defense. If Charilaos Sapounakis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Akakios Kokkalidis took the ball and in the 78 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Gaston Ekialde. Gaston Ekialde dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 5-0. After a rather tough play, ☘️☆VaMpI®3 † DyNaStY★☘️'s Stefanos Kaligas got a free kick in the 84th minute. Mariano Damario could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 85th minute of the match, but Sotiris Banasas made a huge save. Vrasidas Kopsidas kicked well hit freekick during the 91st minute of the match. In the 92nd minute the ball was on its way in behind ☘️☆VaMpI®3 † DyNaStY★☘️'s goalkeeper Sotiris Banasas, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Clemen Team AFC★C.A.B.J★'s players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
