AO Artemis began their campaign in the new EPSANA First Division with a point, having drawn 1-1 draw with AO Atlantis on Saturday 19 September at the Artemida Municipal Stadium.
Our local team took the lead in the 10th minute thanks to a well-taken penalty by their captain, Fjordi Rasa. The visitors managed to equalise in the 80th minute, when Antonis Adamidis fired home a powerful shot to make it 1–1, a score that remained unchanged until the final whistle.
A whisker away from a goal in the 87th minute
AO Artemis came very close to scoring a second goal and securing victory in the 87th minute. According to the club’s official statement, Fytilis’s powerful shot struck the crossbar, with the ball ending up just outside the goal line.
This move was the best chance of the closing minutes and left the home side feeling that they could have taken all three points. That first point of the season, however, marks the starting point for the rest of a demanding league campaign.
In its post-match assessment, the club congratulated the players and coaching staff on their efforts, whilst also pointing out that there is room for improvement.
