In a thrilling match in Heraklion, Levadiakos, who had been impressing in the league, faced a strong challenge from OFI and ultimately fell short with a 3-2 defeat. This encounter was particularly significant as it followed their previous semi-final Cup clash just days earlier, which had ended in a 1-1 draw. The victory allows OFI to solidify their position within the playoff spots for places five to eight, while Levadiakos, despite losing for the first time in seven matches, remains in fourth place in the league standings. The match got off to an explosive start, with both teams finding the back of the net within the opening ten minutes. Levadiakos struck first, with Pedroso scoring following an excellent assist from Baltsis in the 8th minute. However, OFI responded immediately, equalizing just a minute later with a shot from Theodoulos, showcasing the competitive nature of the match. This quick succession of goals set the tone for what would be a closely contested game. Throughout the match, both teams displayed attacking prowess, but OFI managed to maintain the upper hand with their decisive plays. The defeat for Levadiakos marks a significant shift as they had been on an impressive unbeaten streak since late November. This result not only boosts OFI's confidence going into the final stretch of the season but also serves as a reminder to Levadiakos of the competition they are up against in the league.
