Both the boxers were equally matched and started strongly in the opening round of the flyweight division. Lal, a gold medallist at the Limassol Boxing Cup in Cyprus, came close to taking the advantage on manyu00a0occasions.

But the clever strategy of Alexandros, with the right balance of attack and defence, helped him win the bout on a unanimous decision. The scores were 28:29, 28:29 and 28:29 in favour of the Moldova boxer.
