MVP: THE Wheat he was the most dangerous football player of Asteras Tripoli and the one who… pulls his team by the hand in the final for an EPIC comeback. He “smells” the goal in the 90th minute and with a close-range shot at the second post reduces it to 2-1, while in the last phase of the match he does not let the ball go out for a corner, he makes the individual effort and breaks into the Tasuli which serves to Pitch for 2-2. Shito is excellent!
The whistle: THE Tsagarakis he whistled a lot in the game, while he gave cards from both sides. He didn’t have the difficult phase to face, but in the disciplinary part he didn’t do so well overall.
