Magkas Ionikos, left Agrinio with the grade!

Matsara in Agrinio, with him Ionian to get a magical degree against Panaitoliko. The two teams came to a draw 2-2 on Saturday (11/12) as part of the 13th game of Super League 1, with the guests holding on to the guests at -2.

The hosts took the lead in 45’+1‘ with his penalty Mendoza, a phase -disputed- that provoked the strong protests of the “blue and whites”. THE Duarte did it 2-0 in the 68′, with Ionikos answering immediately (71′) by Dalsio. In fact, despite being left with ten players at 75′ due elimination of Ρομαό (second yellow), the team of Nice did not give up and with a scorer the “golden” change, Nikos Vafeas, got in 90′ the degree of tie.

In 9th place, now, the Ionian, who ascended to 14 points, having two more than the team of Agrinio (11th).

In the… minds of coaches:

THE Giannis Anastasiou presented Panaitolikos with a system 4-2-3-1 and Melissa at the hearth. In defense, from right to left, Apostolakis, Vrgots, Cornelius and Houhoumis started. Flores and Antones were a duo in the midfield, with Duarte, Mendoza and Morsey moving behind Karelis.

As far as the Ionian, o Dimitris Spanos kept it 5-3-2, having Houtesiotis under the beams. At the right end of the defense was Mygas, with Valeriano covering the left. The trio of stoppers consisted of Romao, Czigrinski and Sanchez. Kanias was in front of them with six, with Kiako and Dalsio playing as internal midfielders. The attacking duo were Aosman and Lennis.

The match:

The rather heavy terrain due to the heavy rainfall predicted matches with minimal phases. On the contrary, both teams – although their efforts were quite difficult – had several moments in the first part.

Panathinaikos was more active in the first minutes, losing a great opportunity in 3′ with the shot caught outside the area by Duarte and which passed just above the horizontal bar. In the 14′ the people of Agrinio threatened again, with him Χουτεσιώτη to put a great “stop” on the shot caught by Karelis between penalty and small area.

Since then, the “blue and whites” started to balance the game. In fact, at 20′ had a great double chance, with him Bee to have answers both in his direct foul execution Aosman in the first year (the ball hit the ground, making it difficult to repel), as well as in the shot caught by Ρομαό from an advantageous position to second, after the “rebound” he got.

The ball went up and down in the next minutes. And while everything showed that both teams will go to the locker room without a score, Panaitolikos won a penalty for marking Ρομαό in Cornelius according to Mr. Tsakalidis. The execution was undertaken by Mendoza, who defeated Houtesiotis by writing it 1-0 in the 45’+1′. Note that the guests proceeded to strong protests to the referee of the match at the end of the first part.

Ionikos took the initiative of the moves at the beginning of the second part, threatening him Kiako in the 52′ and with him Aosman in the 55′. The Nice team won several corners, however they let them go unexploited.

So, it arrived 68′ when the hosts took advantage of the big gap left by their opponents in their attempt to reach a draw, with the Βέργο to lay on Duarte, who with an amazing place sent the ball to the left “window” of his home Χουτεσιώτη.

The “blue and whites” despite the chill managed to respond to the … lids (71′), in a phase that was quite reminiscent of his 20′: THE Melissa refused in the first year his direct foul Aosman, however, could not respond to the diagonal shot that was subsequently caught by Dalsio, who scored against his former team.

Numerical balances changed to 75′, by Ρομαό to face the second yellow card for pushing out of phase in Vergos and to be eliminated. The hosts partially took advantage of the advantage they gained, as they arrived with claims in the opponents frames, but saw him Morsey to fail so in 78′, as well as in 85′.

And since he could not clear the match, Panaitolikos looked at 90′ τον Nikos Vafeas, who had spent a few seconds before on the field, to catch the shot outside the area and bring the game to a draw. In fact, the guests tried to make the total upset, but to no avail, with the match ending in 2-2.

ΜVP: He enters and a few seconds later scores for 2-2. It is impossible not to receive the distinction from Nikos Vafeas, who is having an excellent season!

The whistle: Regarding the penalty that Panaitolikos won at 44′, there is contact between Ρομαό and his Antones within the Ionian region. However, it is almost imperceptible, with the home side’s defender falling quite easily. The second yellow card that Romao received is correct, but if the decision for a penalty in 44 ‘(where he saw the first one) is not correct, he should not have been sent off. Agriniotes requested a penalty in the 78th minute with the score at 2-1 for the marking of Mygas in Morsi, with the phase being quite difficult.

Panetolikos (Yiannis Anastasiou): Melissas – Apostolakis, Vrgots, Cornelius, Houhoumis – Flores, Antones – Duarte (82 ‘Louis), Mendoza (60’ Barbosa), Morsey (88 ‘Tsigaras) – Karelis (60’ Vergos).
