It was Iraklis' third Greek Cup final in their 68 years of existence and Olympiacos' twenty-first Greek Cup final and fourth consecutive in their 51-year history.

Iraklis took the lead 2 times in regular time, Olympiacos equalized as many times, at the extra time, Iraklis made the 4–2, but again Olympiacos equalized in the last minutes, despite being down to 10 players.

Several days before the game, Olympiacos president Sokratis Kokkalis made a memorable statement using a Greek expression that Olympiacos would lose the upcoming final only if "the devil broke his leg", meaning that it was almost impossible for his team to lose. However, PAOK won the match by 4–2 with an impressive performance and earned the trophy 27 years after their last success, in the same stadium against the same opponent. During the awarding ceremony, former goalkeeper and member of the coaching staff of PAOK, Mladen Furtula whispered to Kokkalis that the devil indeed broke his leg that day and the latter responded with a laugh.

The allegations were later proven false, but the relegation decision was not overturned.
