Levadiakos secured their spot in the League Phase of the Greek Cup with a decisive 2-0 victory over Asteras AKTOR. The win was largely influenced by a crucial red card shown to an Asteras player in the 34th minute, leaving the team with ten men for the remainder of the match. Agustin Urzi proved to be the star of the game, scoring both goals for Levadiakos. The first half saw Levadiakos create early chances, with Christos Papadopoulos setting up Emmanouilidis for a shot that was saved. Asteras faced a turning point when Silva committed a foul outside the box, resulting in a direct red card for the defender and denying Papadopoulos a clear scoring opportunity. Levadiakos capitalized on their advantage just before halftime, as Urzi converted a chance following a defensive error by Eder to make it 1-0. In the second half, Levadiakos extended their lead in the 62nd minute. After a shot from Vihos was parried by Asteras goalkeeper Nikos Papadopoulos, Urzi was on hand to score his second goal of the match. Despite late pressure and further chances for Levadiakos, the score remained 2-0, confirming their progression in the cup competition.
