papasouzes took a creative approach on the field. 3 minutes in, papasouzes's M. Panes received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. The player down was D. Kronsteiner. The Amfiloxias bench looked worried for a while, but in the end he managed to get up. One of many good crosses from D. Piochowiak on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by Y. Quevedo, who scored for papasouzes. 0 - 1 S. Vallée was just a finger's breadth away from an equaliser for Amfiloxias with a strike from the left, but C. Sourounis managed to ward the shot off for a corner. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Amfiloxias had most of the ball, with 59 percent of possession.

Amfiloxias's S. Vallée almost tied things up with 48 minutes played after breaking through on the right, but his shot deflected off the post. With 60 minutes played, F. Silva of Amfiloxias fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Although the whole team were struggling to impress, Amfiloxias's K. Compagner was singled out as being the problem as he was called off the pitch after 65 minutes. S. Teige was given a chance to change things around. Due to some great work on the right wing Amfiloxias's S. Teige was able to even the score after 75 minutes to make the score 1 - 1. 84 minutes into the game, Amfiloxias seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a inadequate level of organisation. After 85 minutes, the home side was awarded a penalty. The visitors protested wildly but the referee was adamant. A. Metsälä easily put the ball away to give the lead to Amfiloxias. 2 - 1 Possession in this half belonged to Amfiloxias, who controlled the ball 60 percent of the time.

Amfiloxias's top performer was clearly P. Selva. However, S. Teige made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating papasouzes player was without a doubt M. Oskarsson. K. Varsamis turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 2 - 1.
