purple were mostly trying to use their skill at attacking on the flanks. Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of Grilled. Antonio Fernández Riviera behaved like an inexperienced youth player after 3 minutes as he gave the ball away to Aristotelis Sakellariou. Lucky for him though, there was no goal. 22 minutes into the match and the home team took a 1 - 0 lead after breaking through on the left. Scorer for purple was Theodore Woodbury. purple put themselves up 2 - 0 when Ioannis Vasilakos broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. Grilled's Daniel Tellskär got himself booked for a foul. A speedy charge from the left side of the field increased purple's lead to 3 - 0 as Víctor Fillol finished it off competently, firing from an acute angle. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. purple held the ball, with a clear 53 percent of possession.

Things were going to get worse for the visitors. Ioannis Vasilakos squirmed himself through their central defence after 53 minutes, bringing the lead to 4 - 0. It was a hot and sunny day, and several players seemed worn out. Maybe this was why Sotiri Tsirlidis found an unusual amount of space for his snappy footwork. With 83 minutes played, Víctor Fillol could have brought this one home for purple as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. With 84 minutes played, purple put themselves up 5 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to Ioannis Vasilakos, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. By then Ioannis Vasilakos was a three time scorer - a hat trick! The structure of the game started to change as purple decided to pull back and meet their opponents in their own half. Grilled's Li Ze got himself booked for a foul. With 87 minutes played, Ioannis Vasilakos could have brought this one home for purple as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. purple claimed to be the more dominant force in the game, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 54 percent.

Most important purple player was Theodore Woodbury. However, Sotiri Tsirlidis made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Grilled player was without a doubt Daniel Tellskär. Li Ze was a disappointment, however. The match ends 5 - 0.
