There was, however, a dynamism to the game &#8211; perhaps inevitable, given the torrential rain. There were mistakes made by both teams, while opportunities in front of goal were few and far between. And while everything showed that the teams would go into the dressing rooms at 0-0, <strong>Chatsidis<\/strong> released <strong>Dunga<\/strong>, who crossed from the left for <strong>Kesidis<\/strong>, who beat Kouraklis to score the opener.<\/p>\n<p>The second half began as it ended, with <strong>PAOK<\/strong> on the front foot. In the 51st minute, <strong>Kesidis<\/strong> sent over a corner and <strong>Kalaitsidis<\/strong> made it 2-0 to the <strong>Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> with a header. <strong>Olympiacos<\/strong> reacted well and reduced the deficit in the 61st minute via <strong>Kostoulas<\/strong>. The match was then levelled up in the 80th minute with <strong>Ligada&#8217;s<\/strong> free kick making it 2-2. That goal sent the match into extra time.<\/p>\n<p>The game continued to be exciting, and in the first quarter of extra time the match developed into something of a shoot-out as both teams attacked with intent. In the first minute of extra time, <strong>Olympiacos<\/strong> took the lead for the first time in the game thanks to <strong>Ligadas<\/strong>, however <strong>PAOK<\/strong> responded in the 103rd minute with <strong>Tsobanis&#8217;<\/strong> header from <strong>Polykratis&#8217;<\/strong> assist. The youngsters, as it turned out, had even more to give. In the first minute of the second half of extra time <strong>Kostoulas<\/strong> made it 4-3 and in the 110th minute <strong>Liatsikouras<\/strong> then made it 5-3 to <strong>Olympiacos<\/strong>. <strong>PAOK<\/strong> pulled a goal back through <strong>Tsobanis<\/strong> to make it 5-4 in the 118th minute, but the black and whites could not find another goal to level the match and take it to penalties. Nevertheless, we all got to enjoy one of the most enthralling games of youth football we have seen in the final phase of the championship.
