It was obvious that melis were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. They were singing the praises of O. Haller 19 minutes into the match after his speculative chip from the middle of the penalty box found its way over the visitors' keeper to make the score 1 - 0 to melis. A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in melis's T. Muurinaho increasing the lead to 2 - 0. melis's ability to press all over the field frequently paid dividends. E. Gaganiaras was called on to replace melis's T. Muurinaho after 30 minutes following a nasty collision. H. Asselman of melis received a yellow card after 32 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. With 34 minutes played, melis put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to E. Gaganiaras, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. Confident in their lead, melis's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave D. Simões Conceição from melis a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 36 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! 3 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to melis, who controlled the ball 89 percent of the time.

T. Danas had a fantastic opportunity to put melis up another goal 50 minutes into the match, but he fired just over the crossbar. The game was close to savage at times, and melis's D. Simões Conceição received a second yellow card after 73 minutes; his ticket out of the game. A. Gaganatos of mesanagros had to be helped off the pitch as an injury meant he was unable to finish the game. I. Gaitanopoulos came in to finish the match. melis's J. Werdt increased the lead to 4 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 77 minutes. melis's T. Danas struck his penalty well enough to beat the goalkeeper and extend the home team's lead to 5 - 0 after 78 minutes. Things were deteriorating for the away team as melis scored another to make it 6 - 0 after a left side attack resulted in a goal for O. Haller after 81 minutes. melis claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 90 percent.

melis's best player was E. Gaganiaras. However, A. Brüderl made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating mesanagros player was without a doubt P. Chatzakis. M. Armaos turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
