In a thrilling Cup semi-final match, OFI overcame Levadiakos 1-0 to secure their place in the final for the second straight year. The match was intensely competitive, and despite being reduced to ten players early in the game due to a red card for Salcido in the 34th minute, OFI remained resilient. They managed to score a vital goal just before halftime through a powerful header from Lampropoulos, capitalizing on a free-kick delivered by the Spanish defender.

Levadiakos had opportunities to score, including a near miss from Ozbolt before the red card and a header that was cleared off the line by Gonzalez just before OFI's breakthrough. Despite their numerical disadvantage, OFI defended well, with Levadiakos hitting the post in stoppage time when Palasios nearly equalized. The match highlighted OFI's tenacity and ability to perform under pressure, making their advance to the final even more impressive.

Now, OFI awaits to learn their opponent for the final, which will be either PAOK or Panathinaikos, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting conclusion to the Cup tournament. This victory not only boosts OFI's season but also raises expectations as they aim to secure silverware in front of their dedicated fanbase, who have supported them through challenging matches this season.
