2013 Greek Football Cup final
football match
The 2013 Greek Cup final was the 69th final of the Greek Cup. It took place on 11 May 2013 at the Olympic Stadium. The contesting teams were Olympiacos and Asteras Tripolis. It was Asteras Tripolis' first ever Greek Cup final in their 72 years of existence and Olympiacos' thirty seventh and second consecutive Greek Cup final of their 88-year history. The match was marked by the bad refereeing of Athanasios Giachos, who deprived Asteras Tripolis the chance of winning the trophy on multiple occasions, once at the 68th minute, with the score at 1–1, the midfielder of Olympiacos, Maniatis saved a header from Sankaré pushing it back with his hand over the goal line, with the referee and his assistant turning a blind eye to the violation and indicating play on. Another was at the 117th minute, when the midfielder of Olympiacos, Fejsa fouled Rayos inside the area and no penalty was awarded. On the contrary, in the following phase the referee awarded Olympiacos a penalty, even though he was 40 meters away from the spot of the foul that was clearly outside the area. Several fans of the "red and whites" left the stadium before the award ceremony, as an act of bitterness over their club's loss.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “2013 Greek Football Cup final” as football match. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as football match. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111950185. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013, 1983, 1984 and 1985.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
