The second half was marked by yellow cards. Both teams saw their bookings accumulate, and ultimately, in the 90th minute, Atromitos was reduced to ten men after the dismissals of Mansur and Quini. In that same minute, D. Kaloskamis scored the equalizer for Atromitos, but it wasn’t enough to avoid defeat.
