Imposing performance for AEK against PAOK and return to peak of the Handball Premier standings!
Maintaining a solid lead from the first half and charging into the second, “Union” prevailed 29-20 welcoming the Thessalonians to packed hall “C. Kasimati” of OAKA, for the postponed match of the 17th “turn”.
Thus, he took advantage of the defeat of Olympiakos by PAOK the previous matchday and went up alone first on the scoreboard. In particular, he has 33 points, so to speak +1 from Piraeus and to +4 from the “bicephalus of the North” who remained 3rd. Which means that it will be very difficult to lose the home advantage ahead of the Playoffs in the remaining four games of the regular season. Leader for the home team, once again, o Stipe Madalinitch with nine goals.
The match:
With the score at 1-1, AEK made an important run (5-0) making it 6-1 at 9′. Despite this, PAOK remained in the game, reducing the difference to three goals (7-4, 15′). The two goals of Liapis… unstuck “Union” (9-4), which went to the locker room earlier 16-12.
The hosts maintained a safety margin in the second half, usually three or four goals (18-14, 19-16). Until they start to they step on… gas in the last quarter of the race. The team of Alexis Albanos did not leave any room for the hosts until the final, with the score closing at 29-20. Of course, now, “Enos” surpasses PAOK in the (not so) possible event of a draw, after the 24-24 draw between them in the first round.
The five minutes: 3-1, 6-1, 7-3, 11-7, 13-8, 16-12 (half), 18-14, 18-15, 19-16, 22-17, 25-17, 29- 20.
