From then on the derby took on a wild beauty with the ball going up and down, with both teams desperately searching for the goal.

A goal that finally came for the “Black Storm”, who with the completion of an hour of the match brought the match to the level with a wonderful view of Moreira from Bonetto’s shot from the rightafter a beautiful movement of the ball outside the Panioni area.

Moments later, and specifically in the 62nd minute, Kalamata almost achieved a complete reversal, when the shot of Belmot it was difficult Giannakopoulos with the help of the beam!
