Asteras pulled back to 1-1 in the 20th minute, but in the 37th minute, Petros Tsiapakidis’ team took the lead again through Adam’s header, after Tsobanis‘ cross. And three minutes later, the Double-headed Eagle young guns make it 3-1 after Babouras released Papageorgiou who finished clinically. The hosts reduced the deficit to 3-2 in added time at the end of the first half.
