Tournament details
A total of 76 teams participated, 16 from Alpha Ethniki, 20 from Beta, and 40 from Gamma. It was held in 7 rounds, the final included. An additional round was held between First and Second, with 6 matches, in order for the continuing teams to be 32.
The big surprise of the season was Panionios. After a difficult qualification against Charavgiakos in the first round, they proceeded to eliminate giants AEK Athens, PAOK and Olympiacos. They were eventually eliminated by Panathinaikos in the quarter-finals.
The final was contested by OFI, for first time in their history, and Iraklis after 7 years, with the latter having qualificatied against Panathinaikos in semi-finals. The final match was decided on the penalty shootout after a 1–1[1] draw. The "hero" for the winners was their goalkeeper, Myron Sifakis, who warded off two shots. What is even more impressive is that he was the third-choice goalkeeper, behind Mitseas and Chosadas.[2]
Grigoris Papavasiliou also became the only player to win the Cup with three different clubs, after winning it with Kastoria in 1980 and Panathinaikos in 1984.
