Final

The 64th Greek Cup Final was played at the Pankritio Stadium and it was the first Greek Cup Final to be played in Heraklion since 1931. Similarly to the semi-finals, there would be no replay even if the match was drawn; instead, extra time would be used to decide the winners. If extra time failed to separate the two sides, the match would go to penalty kicks.
