The Boeotians showed they wanted the win more and were superior for most of the match, having the ball and finishing the match with 21 finals, but they could not hold on to the lead they took and settled for a draw.
On the other hand, Atromitos did not show its good competitive face, but managed to leave Livadia with a draw and thus will remain at the top of the playouts standings, after the end of their second matchday.

The match
THE Levadian was the team that entered the strongest in the first minutes of the match, making its first final effort in the 8th minute, when a long shot by Nika opposed to Hatziisaia and ended up a corner. The home team constantly had the ball at their feet while Atromitos struggled to even cross the center, with the strong wind affecting the efforts of the footballers.
In his unique ending Fearless throughout the first half, the Ender shot from the corner of the big area, very high out, with Peristeriotes balancing and taking steps in the field after 20 minutes. In the 26th Klonaridis he surprised Groff with a cross-shot, with the goalkeeper of Levadeaikos pushing it away for a corner with difficulty.
After 30′, Levadeiakos picked up the pace again, with Paz making a nice cross for Sahpekidis, but the second’s header from a good position was clumsy and off target. The biggest chance for Petrakis’ team was lost in the 33rd minute, when Gianniotas he shot with power, but saw Gianniotis make an impressive save, clearing for a corner. His header in the 40th minute Paz did not worry the goalkeeper of the guests, while in 45′ Hammond and Panagiotou made successive shots on the bodies of defenders.
Senior and at the beginning of the second half o Levadianby Geremegev to come on as a substitute and immediately make his presence felt, sending the ball over the crossbar with a powerful shot in the 51st minute, after a beautiful individual effort. A minute later, Sahpekidis crossed and Gianniotas he caught a header-fish, with the ball ending weakly in the arms of Gianniotis.

MVP: Very good o Mejia as long as he played (he was replaced in the 85th minute) in the center of Levadeaikou, he advanced the ball correctly and was infallible defensively. On Atromito’s side, Ender had the same role, recording, being omnipresent for the guests.
