The match between AO Artemis and Olympiakos Agios Stefanos ended in a 0–0 draw, on Wednesday 30 September at 16:30 at the Artemida Municipal Stadium, in the third round of the Eastern Attica Football Association (EPS) First Division. At the same time, at the ‘Dimitris Dimitriou’ ground in Spata, Aittitos Spata beat Pallavreotikos 4–2. After three matchdays, Artemis remains unbeaten with five points, whilst Aittitos has six.
The match at Artemida ended goalless, with very few substitutions made by the home side. Artemida made just one substitution, in the 87th minute, with Konstantinos Angelos Bountakis replacing Silvestro Christakidis. Olympiacos Agios Stefanos, by contrast, made five changes, starting from the beginning of the second half, in the 46th minute. The referee was L. Stavrou, assisted by H. Gouvas and D. Tzafolias, as appointed by the Association.
The original Artemis squad was remarkably young. Of the eleven first-team players, six were born in 2005 or later: Mario Hoja (2007), Georgios Metsovitis Christopoulos (2005), Geraldo Mahmuti (2009), Michail Karaoulis (2006), Sylvester Christakidis (2006) and Theophilos Psarris (2005). In goal was Michael Karaoglanis, alongside Georgios Bakos, Georgios Nikologiannis, Dimitrios Soultanidis and captain Fiordi Rasa — the player who scored the penalty in the season opener — rounding out the starting eleven. The fact that a team can get a result with six players born in 2005 or later on the pitch is the most promising aspect of the first three matchdays.
In the league table, Artemis are seventh with five points (one win, two draws), four points behind leaders AO Keratea. They have conceded just two goals in three matches — the third-best defence in the division, behind Keratea and Palliniakos, who have conceded one each. Aittitos Spata are fourth on six points, level with Palliniakos and APO Kryoneri; Wednesday’s four-point haul saw them climb the table, having started with a 0–2 defeat to Keratea on the opening day before going on to win 1–0 at Nea Makri.
On Sunday 4 October, at 16:30, both teams are playing away. Artemis travel to Voula to face Aris Voulas, who have drawn both of their matches so far and are yet to secure a win. Aittitos travel to Gerakas to face AO Atlantis, who are second in the table with seven points — the very team that held Artemis to a 1–1 draw on the opening day. The local derby between Artemis and Aittitos Spata is scheduled for matchday 7, but the date and kick-off time have not yet been included in the EPSANA fixture list.
This year, the First Division comprises 16 teams and 30 matchdays, with the two local teams in the same group. The fixture list, referee appointments and results are posted on epsana.gr, usually within a few hours of the matches finishing. However, Enosis does not publish the scorers: the names of those who find the net are only revealed in the clubs’ own announcements, which, for local leagues, means that many goals are never recorded anywhere.
