Tournament details

Totally 70 teams participated, 16 from Alpha Ethniki, 18 from Beta, and 36 from Gamma. It was held in 7 rounds, included final. An Additional Round was held between First and Second, with 3 matches, in order that the teams would continue to be 32.

It was an enough eventful year, that was marked by hard confrontations in the cases of "strong" pairs. In Third Round, Olympiacos eliminated AEK Athens with 1–1 draw at home and 3–1 win away, in a much debated match (there were allegations for some of AEK 's players being bribed to have low performance).In semi-finals, Olympiacos eliminated cup winners, OFI, and Panathinaikos the champions of the season, Larissa.

The Final between the eternal enemies was an opportunity for a good season ending with a title, as both teams were struggling in the championship. The match was nervous, however kept effervescent interesting until the end, since it was judged on the penalty shootout, after a 2–2[1] draw (3 out of 4 goals was scored by penalties).[2] Nikos Sarganis was the man of the match, warding off two shots and scoring one in the process. For Olympiacos it was the third time that they lost a cup final on penalty shootout (the other two in 1974 and 1976). Dimitris Saravakos with 10 goals was elected as first scorer.
