The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. When Panos Sakaridis fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored New Olympiacos FC's protests and gave Panos Sakaridis a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to New Olympiacos FC getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Panos Sakaridis hit a great ball. The audience cheered when Menios Kalafatakis's long shot passed Lakis Kaltsas's right side. It was 0-1, 8 minutes into the match. When Panos Sakaridis was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 16 minutes had been played.

Panos Maistros fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lakis Kaltsas having to interfere.

In the 44th match minute, New Olympiacos FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Lambros Bachramis to maneuver through the defense.

If Loukianos Rozaklis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. New Olympiacos FC's Lakis Kaltsas proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 56th minute of the match, managed to save New Olympiacos FC from getting a goal against them. Christoforos Moustakis's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Lakis Kaltsas firmly grabbed it by the left post. Panos Maistros's late challenge caught a New Olympiacos FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Panos Maistros helped the player get up and apologised. After 63 played minutes, BesiktasCarsi's Takis Kavaliaratos shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Lakis Kaltsas 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 BesiktasCarsi reached it. 70 minutes into the game, Anthimos Georgiou was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. New Olympiacos FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave BesiktasCarsi the free kick. After 72 minutes of play BesiktasCarsi's Panos Maistros was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground.

In the 78th minute, Stratos Atmatzidis 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. After 80 minutes, Takis Kavaliaratos mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the BesiktasCarsi and the New Olympiacos FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 84th match minute, BesiktasCarsi was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Takis Kavaliaratos to maneuver through the defense. Achilleas Tzakos took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 85th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Dimitris Voitsidis. BesiktasCarsi's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. If Stratos Atmatzidis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
