PAOK reacted with a reversal and the hero Kurtic

The reaction he was looking for was noted on Sunday (12/12) in the context of the 13th match PAOK. The “biceps of the North” returned to positive results and within the borders, after three consecutive defeats in the championship (but also the qualification to the Playoffs of the Europa Conference League), prevailing 2-1 of Lamia in behind closed doors Toumba (due to the penalty in the derby with Aris). In fact, he did it with me overthrow -his first in the season-, having him as a hero once again Kurtic.

The away team opened the scoring at 7′ by Αραμπουλι (Lamia’s first goal against PAOK in their league history), a phase that provoked strong protests from Thessaloniki. Immediate reaction of PAOK, with him Lyratzi to score in 18′, scoring his maiden goal with the men’s team of the “black and whites”. He gave the final solution to 64′ The Kurtic, who with his 6th goal this year gave the victory to his team. Beam for the hosts with Murg at 31′, canceled as offside Tsoukalos’s goal in 90 ‘+ 3’!

Thus, PAOK caught the 3rd PAS in 22 points, being at -5 from the 2nd AEK and at -10 by the champion Olympiakos. On the other hand, Lamia was left with one point in the last four games, in 12th place (10b.) and to +3 from the last Apollo of Smyrna.

In the … minds of coaches:

The many problems of the hosts and the mediocre performance of several “basics” in their last matches, led him Rasvan Lucescu in several changes. Keep it 4-2-3-1, with Paschalakis at home and Lyratzis, Ingason, Michailidis and Sidklay in defense, from right to left. Kurtig was flanked by Tsigaras in the midfield. The midfielder was Augusto, with Andrija Zivkovic and Murg at both ends and Akpom being the only forward.

It should be noted that Ingason was for the first time in the championship level in the basic eleven of the “black and whites”, after his injury, as well as Lyratzis. First minutes for Tsigaras in terms of domestic competitions.

Same system by Michalis Grigoriou. Under the beams was Garavelis, at the right end of the defense Provydakis, at the left Saramantas, with Antezzo and Tzanetopoulos composing the duo of stoppers. The equivalent in the midfield was Beharano and Gentzoglou, with Eleftheriadis, Nounies and Romanic moving behind Arabouli.

The match:

Lamia was happy to be ahead just in its first good moment in the match, at 7′: After a nice counterattack unfolding, o Nouns found him Αραμπουλι, with the latter calmly placing opposite Paschalakis. Of course, the Thessalonians protested strongly for faul of Beharano at the beginning of the phase, with the replay -probably- justifying them.

Another home match this year, then, in which PAOK conceded a goal (it has to keep its home from the 2-0 win over AEK). Rasvan Lucescu’s team created its first big opportunity at 14′, when after a nice cross Kurtic, The Zivkovic grabbed the head from a diagonal position, with him Garaveli to chase with tension in a corner.

In order for the draw for PAOK to come to 18′. THE August tried to free himself with nice control of the ball, entered the phase o Lyratzis, who then fired from close range.

The home team have had a huge percentage of possession of the ball (70%–30%), however they could not break the very well organized defense of the team of Fthiotida. At the same time they could not take advantage of the many (eight) winning corners. Undoubtedly, their biggest moment until the end of the half was beam they had in 31′, after his direct foul Murg.

In the first minutes of the second half, both teams threatened with long shots. His first important moment 58′, When the August caught the head between the penalty and a small area, with Garavelis blocking.

His entrance Biseswar (instead of Murg) in 63′ gave immediate offensive breath to PAOK. After all, the Dutch midfielder was in his phase 2-1 in the 64′, when laid on Kurtic. The shot of the Slovenian ace countered in the first year, however the place he caught in the second, ended up in the net.

Augusto’s powerful cross shot 71′ went out, with Lamia trying to answer 73′, but seeing Michaelides put a key “stop” at the end of Tyrone.

To get to the third minute of the delays, when the Tsoukalos did it 2-2 with a head, with the … heart of the people of PAOK returning to its place, after the flag was raised for offside (at the beginning of the phase, in Beharano), something that was confirmed by the VAR.

MVP: He has scored the winning goal – for another game – Kurtic, however ο Zivkovic made a very good match again, being quite active. They will share the distinction. It helped a lot and Biseswar just entered, while Lyratzis combined his first goal with the black and whites with a good performance.

The whistle: From the replay, it seems that there is a foul by Beharano in the 1-0 of Lamia. In the phase of 2-2 in 90 ‘+ 3’, Beharano participates in the phase, so the goal is correctly canceled. The hosts protested for red instead of yellow in the 90 ‘, when Tyron illegally interrupted Tsigaras who left alone (approximately between the center and a large area).

The compositions of the two groups:

PAOK (Rasvan Lutsescu): Paschalakis – Lyratzis, Ingason, Michailidis, Siddklay – Tsingaras, Kurtic (82 ‘Swab) – Murg (63’ Biseswar), Augusto (75 ‘Sfindrski E) (A).
