After all, in the context of the 1st “turn” they prevailed 2-0 of Volos in the Panthessal Stadium, without even reaching top performance levels. With Rodney having opened the scoring from the 13th minute, Villafanies’ two yellow cards in the space of three minutes, which resulted in him being sent off (correctly) in the 32nd minute, made matters much simpler. Masouras made the final 0-2 in the 73rd minute shortly after entering the field.
