ERGOTELIS MARTINEGO
Spectators: 158 (Terracing: 119, Seating: 36, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Alkaios Mavrofidis made the kick off which started today's match. Alkaios Mavrofidis who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 3rdth minute tested the skills of Aristides Cordario when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Menelaos Moutafis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 8 minutes, Gervasio Donostia mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ÑOQUIS 29 FC and the ERGOTELIS players grew even worse after the yellow card. Aristides Cordario took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Menelaos Moutafis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 13 played minutes, ÑOQUIS 29 FC's Damian Damario shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Panos Drambas came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in ÑOQUIS 29 FC reached it. 14 minutes into the game, Bartolo Abreu cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Panos Drambas was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After some careless play in the ERGOTELIS defense, Bartolo Abreu 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. In the 19th minute, Menelaos Moutafis got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Alkaios Mavrofidis in the 21stth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Aristides Cordario, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. In the 25th minute Bartolo Abreu 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. In the 33rd minute, Damian Damario got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Esteban Fraco'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. Esteban Fraco helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to ÑOQUIS 29 FC getting a freekick after 35 minutes play. Esteban Fraco hit a great ball. 36 minutes into the match, ERGOTELIS's Pavlos Kastanopoulos sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Aristides Cordario narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 37th minute of the match, Menelaos Moutafis tried to roll the ball into the goal by the right post, but Aristides Cordario saw his intentions and got control of the ball before it passed the line. The ERGOTELIS players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. ÑOQUIS 29 FC were winning 0-2.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Bartolo Abreu made a kick off. When the match had gone on for 53 minutes, Bartolo Abreu put it in 0-3 from a short distance just to the right of Panos Drambas. Gervasio Donostia fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Panos Drambas having to interfere. In the 66th minute of the match Pavlos Kastanopoulos sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Aristides Cordario skillfully saved the ball. Damian Damario received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 68th minute. Panos Drambas tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Blas Diagur during the 71st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, ÑOQUIS 29 FC's Blas Diagur got a free kick in the 71st minute. After 74 played minutes ÑOQUIS 29 FC got a freekick which was hit by Per Mertesacker. 80 minutes into the match, ÑOQUIS 29 FC's goal looked a bit too open when Pavlos Kastanopoulos came free, but Aristides Cordario reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in ERGOTELIS's zone, Bartolo Abreu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Panos Drambas came out of the goal and Bartolo Abreu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
