The Union did its duty towards the scoreless and already relegated Hermes, which it won with the wide 4-1 (16 ′, 48 ′ Pittas, 28 ′ Riera, 79 ′ Gozlan / 44 ′ Katsiatis) in "Tassos Markou", in the context of the 8th match of the second phase (30th in total).
However, based on Alki's victory over Doxa in Makareio (1-0), and two games before the final of this season, the maroons remain in an extremely difficult position, as they are second to last with 29 points, which the team also has of Katokopia which has an advantage in case of a tie.
The Crimson had the lead from the first half, as until the half hour, they were leading 2-0, redeeming in the best way their superiority, after they started the match with an imposing appearance and with seriousness. The score opened at 16 ′. A long shot was made in the back of the defense of Hermes with the receiver Pittas who controlled nicely, entered the area and with a strong volley from the side defeated Firinidis. The 2-0 was formed after a well-aimed penalty kick by Riera in the 28th minute (Banousis overthrew Kolokoudias in the area seconds before).
Nevertheless, where the turns of Giorgos Kosmas's players fell, the "wings" found the way and entered the game again, when Katsiatis with a projection after an unstable repulse of Petros in a shot by Makriev, reduced to 1-2 for the team of, which was the score of the first part. Somewhere here it is worth mentioning that if the team of Paralimnos was accurate and in some other good moments, its lead would be greater by 1-2 goals.
In the replay, the Union took care with the "good morning" to do what it did not do in the first half: to clear its victory with a third goal. Pittas is the perpetrator again, this time at 48., A point at which the young forward scored a beautiful goal. Kolokoudias "dug" the ball inside the area, and Pittas with an elusive shot in motion sent the ball first to the ground and then to the net (3-1).
By the end, the pace slowed down significantly, but the hosts had a way of putting… icing on their victory cake. Riera with a great ball in the 79th minute found Gozlan and he with an exemplary place made it 4-1, which was the result of the match.
