Aris takes the initiative, Lamia counters
Aris was the team that had the initiative of movements and control of the game, but Lamia, for his part, excelled in counterattacks, beating Mantzios’ team there. The first good moment of the game opened up even to the guests, just in the 8th minute when Tirone scored the header and impressively chased Ciambanis, who played after a year, into a corner.
The hosts responded in the 12th minute with a shot from Bertoglio through the penalty area, but Saranov was there and blocked the ball. The best moment of the first part belonged to Aris and it came in the 27th minute when Manos turned inside the penalty area and got the shot made, with the ball going parallel outside of Lamia’s hearth. In the 34th minute, a foul by Iturbe went just over Saranov’s crossbar from a good spot.

In the second half the pace dropped, Aris stopped threatening as much, he didn’t get into Lamia’s penalty area and only had two long-range shots from Fabiano and Kamara, which didn’t worry the guests.
For his part, Lamia continued to look for goals on the break, with Bangoura playing the strongest but also being out of place. While he might find a goal towards the end of the game if Arabouli and Tsoukalos were better in the closing action.
