Volos secured a significant away victory, defeating Iraklis 3-1 in the Superbet Cup of Greece and earning a spot in the League Phase. The Thessalian team capitalized on defensive lapses by Iraklis to secure their passage to the next stage of the competition.

Volos opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. A lapse in concentration from the Iraklis defense following a free-kick, combined with a poor sortie by goalkeeper Athanasiadis, allowed Katsikas to score with a header for a 0-1 lead.

Iraklis managed to equalize just before halftime, with Koutsa finding the net in first-half stoppage time after an assist from Soria, making it 1-1. However, Volos quickly regained their advantage in first-half stoppage time. In the 45+4th minute, Es-Shaubi controlled the ball inside the penalty area and scored with a right-footed shot, putting Volos ahead 1-2.

The final score was settled in the 60th minute, following another defensive error by Iraklis. A miscommunication between Vourou and the young goalkeeper Karakasis led to a delayed exit, allowing Djoka to get to the ball first and score, sealing the 1-3 victory for Volos.
