AEK had the way against Panathinaikos and continues the hunt!

THE AEK the goal, the Panathinaikos the impressions and the “yellow and black” derby. The Union prevailed 1-0 of the “clover” in OAKA in the context of the 12th match and remained in the hunt for the top, from which it is six points away.

His goal Simansky from the… locker rooms (2’) gave the victory to his team Argyri Gianniki, who was cynical and serving her plan, withstood the pressure of the guests, who had the upper hand, but not the substance.

Wasting, in fact, incredible opportunity in the 47’ with Aitor sending the ball into the crossbar. Two -correctly- canceled goals (68 ‘, 90’ + 7 ‘) had AEK with Tsouber, who returned to positive appearances, playing as a substitute.

In the minds of coaches

As expected 4-2-3-1, but not exactly with the expected persons, AEK started. After Livai Garcia was key and Chuber on the bench. Stankovic at the end and Michelin, Vranjes, Mitoglou and Mohammadi at the defense. Simoes and Simanski the two midfielders, Garcia, Mandalos and Amrabat the trio, which framed Araouchos.

With 4-3-3 Panathinaikos, who had a surprise in the starting lineup, as Alexandropoulos did not start. With Brinioli at the end and Kotsiras, Veleth, Sarlia, Juankar in defense, the “clover”. Mauricio, Ruben and Vigiafanies the trio in the midfield, Aitor, Palacios and Makeda the trio in the strike line.

The match

The beginning is half of everything in such matches and AEK made sure to make an ideal start for itself. Scoring a goal from the locker room, as had happened, but from the opposing side, in the recent derby with Olympiakos. He loaded the left side, playing the ball quickly, with the result that the Panathinaikos defenders lost their players, Kotsiras allowed the cross and Simansky “hit” with head as hidden for.

AEK had sewn the toy to her measurements, had received an additional boost and Panathinaikos was looking for, having the reaction, which would have each team, which would have conceded a quick goal in such a match. The Union saw the “clover” vulnerable and looked for another goal, but Brinoli was there in Livai’s shot. After not taking advantage of the momentum, he gradually retreated and gave measures and courage to the “clover”, which from the middle of the first half, in which the teams had two faces, took the initiative of the moves. With possession of the ball has even reached 60%.

He lacked, however, the good final decision and the most courage in some cases, as he stepped on the opponent’s area. But again, AEK had the best opportunity until the break, with him Araujo to send the ball over Brinioli in 38 ‘with a shot from the small area.

Almost the same scenario in second part. AEK went to catch the “greens” asleep, reaching 2-0 with a four-on-four by Araούjo, to whom Brinioli said “no”. Only this time, Panathinaikos reacted to the caps and wasted it HUGE opportunity for a draw. Stankovic kicked out Palacios’s shot (probably not marginally) and Aitor managed – because it’s about a feat – to lose the goal in front of the goal.

AEK was not disturbed by the specific phase, it remained faithful to its plan, looking for counter-attacks and as time went on, Panathinaikos got more and more the ball at its feet. The association he was playing with fire, as gradually began to run out of forces, but Jovanovic’s team did not have the determination needed.

In the way the 41-year-old coach had in mind, found nets in the 70th minute, AEK, with Tsouber celebrating the 2-0, which did not happen due to offside. To change the data, the Serbian coach made Panathinaikos more aggressive, putting in 73 ‘Carlitos instead of Palacios, Hatzigiovanis instead of Mauricio. Without, however, being able to find more opportunities from that point. The Swiss sent the ball into the net a second time, but it remained 1-0 again due to location. The “clover” had no other dice to roll and left the field with satisfaction for its image, but without the substance, which AEK had.
