Back to victories for him Panathinaikos, after three failures, who won the Ghoul with 3-1, for 10th race of the Super League, at the Panthessaliko stadium and caught Volos in 6th place of the score.
The typical hosts had a purely defensive orientation in the match, while they were happy to take the lead after a sluggish first half with his head Αραμπουλι in the 35’, but could not celebrate in the end their first home victory.
This is because the “greens” did “lose” 45 minutes, but did not change their plan in the replay and were justified, with the very good Lundqvist to equalize -with his first goal- after a nice energy of the also very active Vigiafanies in 56th minute.
While the changes of Ivan Jovanovic “signed” the first “double” of this year of Panathinaikos, as Mauricio won the penalty that turned into a goal for 1-2 Makenda -who also opened an account for this year- in 86’. By Brazilian medium to shape the final result, a minute later…
In the… minds of coaches:
Lamia “came down” having as its formation also 5-3-2, Garavelis at home and Provydakis, Antezzo, Tzanetopoulos, Mazoulouxis and Martinez at the back. While Beharano, Tzandaris and Gentsoglou were the central midfielders, with Arabouli-Manousso composing the attacking duo.
Panathinaikos, on the other hand, lined up with a system 4-3-3 and Brinioli under the goalposts, while Kotsiras, Veleth, Sarlia and Juankar were the four in defense. Ruben Pereth, Vigiafanies and Ludqvist played on the axis, with Hadjiyovanis-Vital playing at the ends and Carlitos at the top of the attack.
The match:
In the first half, Lamia gave space and ball to Panathinaikos, taking care primarily to close the corridors to its frames and to defend en masse, looking for a counterattack.
As a result, the “clover” had a lot of difficulty, primarily in the final pass and consequently in the production of phases, although it had the overwhelming possession.
It is characteristic that the first shot in the game took place in the 24th minute, with Vital trying to be lazy, however, and Garavelis easily blocking.
Carlitos’ injury – which was preceded by the forced change of Tzandaris with Tyrone – forced Ivan Jovanovic to throw Makenda in the match, who had last played against Volos, for… 19 minutes.
Another “lukewarm” shot followed, on the opposite side, of Arabouli, which did not worry Brinioli, while Garavelis repulsed the second shot of Vital, better this time, in 33 ‘.
However, two minutes later, in the first “clean” phase of the two teams in the match, the team of Fthiotida was happy to take the lead …
With Kotsiras… seeing Manousos cross, Veleth-Sarlia out of phase and Arabouli beating Juankar in the air, achieving 1-0 with a header!
The most complete action for Panathinaikos was recorded in the 43rd minute, when from a “heel” of Ludqvist, the one coming to the Juancar area shot from a position in the left, but inaccurately.
In the replay, the “greens” came in more decisively, played a little faster and managed to reach a draw relatively early.
Tzanetopoulos overtook Makenda in 49 ‘, saving his team from the worst, but the same did not happen seven minutes later …
When from a very nice solo of Vigiafanies, who passed at the right moment to Ludkvist, the Swedish midfielder shot with force and scored his first goal with Panathinaikos, for 1-1!
In fact, with the psychology in their favor, the guests had the opportunity to make a total recovery, but Vital wasted a counterattack with two more teammates, shortly after completing an hour of play…
The second forced change of Lamia, with Skondra coming in instead of Beharano in the 73rd minute, in combination with the entry of Aitor and Mauricio in the game, with PAO turning it into 4-2-3-1, proved to be decisive for further development.
Entering the last part, the “clover” saw Juankar and Palacios lose two more opportunities for 1-2, in 77 ‘and 82’ respectively and somewhere there Mauricio took action…
With the Brazilian midfielder winning a penalty in 84 ‘, which Makeda converted into a goal two minutes later, while the same scorer was anointed at the same time, in the 87th minute, achieving 3-1, which was to be the final result!
MVP: He came off the bench. He won a penalty for 1-2 and scored the 1-3 of Panathinaikos himself… Ramon Ludkvist is good, Lucas Vigiafanies is “golden” but… the saint was Jose Mauricio, who in 17 minutes of play was so influential for the team of how many other players are in an entire match!
The “whistle”: One would characterize the refereeing of Koumbarakis as quite good, as not only was he close to most of the phases, but he also avoided the abuse of the card by allowing any rhythm. At the same time, he very correctly pointed out the violation of Tzanetopoulos in Mauricio in the penalty phase for the 1-2 in favor of the guests.

Lamia (Michalis Grigoriou): Garavelis, Antezzo, Tzanetopoulos, Mazoulouxis, Provydakis, Martinez, Beharano (73 ‘Skondras), Tzandaris (18’ Tyron), Gentsoglou, Arabouli (70 ‘Tsoukalos), Manousos.
