Anagennisi 0 - 3 md (381296042)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 30982 to Anagennisi Giannitso Arena. Filipe Ferreira Pimenta was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Alessandro Mascia and Domenico Chiariello. Anagennisi tactics involved an interesting 4-4-2 combination. Starters: Wycichowski - Liolios, Rautavirta, Bellaar, Rodríguez - Molisso, Chircu, Chandakas, von Witzleben - Alonso Soto, Clus.

md had chosen a strategic 2-5-3 formation. The following players took the field: Van Rooy - Fterougas, Kakaroglou - Klapadakis, Topalidis, Andriolo, Psaris, Maniakidis - Üveys, Hansson, Nedev.

Anagennisi clearly had decided to counter-attack when they could. Anagennisi were very close to putting themselves one up after 2 minutes as G. Molisso got through on the left, but failing in concentration, he shot the ball wide. Anagennisi's G. Liolios had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 6 minutes having been played. D. Gargampikas was the replacement. Some lightning fast two foot dribbles by M. Clus left F. Fterougas way behind after 9 minutes, but the shot was just wide. After 14 minutes, md put themselves up 0 - 1, as U. Hansson finished off a strike from the left with a real cannonball of a shot. An indecisive keeper looked on as a free kick by md's A. Üveys put the visitors up 0 - 2 after 43 minutes. Halftime score was 0 - 2. md had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

As the match clock hit 46 minutes, md regrouped to try and keep their initiative in the game. M. Maniakidis high-fived S. Psaris as they swapped positions on the team. With 69 minutes played, md put themselves up 0 - 3 after an attack from the right, caused by a defensive blunder. The scorer was U. Hansson. By now, the players in md felt that victory was guaranteed and began to play it safe, focusing on defence and not risking too much going forward. C. Nedev left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 75 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. D. Fetas was the replacement. Neither team was controlling the possession at this point in the match, with the stats showing a 50:50 split.

Anagennisi's top performer was clearly B. Chircu. D. Gargampikas was a disappointment, however. The most dominating md player was without a doubt U. Hansson. D. Fetas turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 3.
