Terrible Panathinaikos, played with… Fotias and emphatically defeated Volos!

Third win in a row against everyone and everything for Panathinaikosthis time against Bulletin “Apostolos Nikolaidis” with 2-0, in the context of the 23rd match of the Stoiximan Super League.

the “greens” they were…unstoppablealthough they saw the referee Fire to he closes his eyes in two penalty infringements, at 2′ and 40′, but also the beams to stop Plaasios’ shots twice in the 19th and 52nd minutes.

They took the lead with the first goal of Kourbelis in this year’s Leaguewith projection, in the 59′ while Sporar scored for third straight time coming off the benchreaching eight goals in the league, with a well-placed penalty, in the 69th minute!

With the Magnesia team staying with 10 players from the 50th minutedue to Xi’s correct dismissal with a second yellow card and succumbing to the superiority of her opponent.

Panathinaikos remained in the first place of the standings, with 54 points, maintaining its difference from the second AEK at +4 but with two more games and goes to Faliro to play with Olympiakos the next matchday.

While Volos remained in fifth place with 35 points while hosting Lamia.

In the… minds of the coaches:

Ivan Jovanovic “dropped” Panathinaikos into formation 4-3-3. Brignoli sat in goal, having Vagiannidis, Senkefeld, Sarlia and Juancar four at the back. Kourbelis, Tserin and Bernard formed the three midfielders, with Palasios, Ioannidis Mancini and making up the attacking trio.

Kostas Arm on the other hand he lined up Volos with a system 4-2-3-1. Kleiman under the goalposts and Alho, Escoval, Sieli and Si, in the straight line in defense. Gagi and Luna were the two “cutters”, with Pires, Kartalis and Tsirinos moving behind the promoted Koutsia.

The match:

Panathinaikos started very strongly, pressed high and took possession of the ball, looking for the “quick” goal and attacking mainly from the left, with Juancar-Mancini.

Just in 40 seconds, in fact, from a lateral cut by the second, Escoval found the ball with his hand. However, the Fotias referee did not award a penaltyprobably considering that the Volos player did not increase his body volume, but wrongly…

The home team’s first big missed opportunity came in the 8th minute, when from a ball from Kourbelis in the “back” of the opposing defense, Ioannidis came out four-four with Kleiman but missed.

As time went by, the pressure from Panathinaikos intensified and the… bombardment of the visitors’ home increased.

In the 18th minute, a second four-pointer was recorded, this time by Mancini, whose spot-kick was impressively cleared for a corner by Kleiman! While in the development of the phase, the “greens” had and beamwith the fireball of Palasios from the height of the large area not to end up in the opposing nets!

Panathinaikos’ attacking monologue continued through another classic scoring opportunity, in the 27th minute, with Juancar and Mancini working together and the latter’s shot forcing Kleiman to dive for a corner.

After half an hour of the match, the shots were… 13-0, but there was no score in the match, while in the 31st minute Ioannidis made a very nice shot, but missed by… millimeters.

For another “carabinet” offense and a penalty which was not given to Ivan Jovanovic’s team, in the 40th minute… When from Mancini’s cross, the Palasios overthrown by Si -who already had a yellow card- in the small area but the referee and VAR did not indicate the finality of the penalties!

The second half started the same as the first: with Panathinaikos being aggressive and gaining a numerical advantage over the team from Magnesia early on.

As at 50′, o Si marked Palasios irregularly, saw the yellow card which was the second and left Volos with 10 players.

However, the… evil demon made its appearance again two minutes later, after another shot from him Palasiosthis time from the height of the area, stopped at the crossbar!

{“@context”:”http://schema.org”,”@type”:”VideoObject”,”name”:”ΠΑΟ – Βόλος ΝΠΣ | Δεύτερο δοκάρι για τον Παλάσιος με εξαιρετικό σουτ”,”description”:”Δεύτερο δοκάρι για τον Παλάσιος με εξαιρετικό σουτ”,”thumbnailUrl”:”https://imthumbs.glomex.com/dC1icnltcWgyYzByMHgvMjAyMy8wMi8xOC8xNi8yNF8wMF82M2YwZmJhMDU1ZmE5LmpwZw==/profile:player-960×540″,”duration”:”PT31S”,”uploadDate”:”2023-02-18T16:23:19.000Z”,”embedUrl”:”https://player.glomex.com/integration/1/iframe-player.html?integrationId=eexbs13jtbwtdve&playlistId=v-cqltrxwdygip”,”provider”:{“@type”:”Organization”,”name”:”glomex GmbH”,”logo”:{“@type”:”ImageObject”,”url”:”https://player.glomex.com/[email protected]”,”width”:136,”height”:146}}}

Finally, Mr Kourbelis he was the one who broke the Gordian knot, just before the completion of an hour of play, when Palasios’ turn in the small area was precisely placed and he scored 1-0, redeeming the “clover”!

After the previous two were not indicated, Fotias awarded a penalty on the third occasion, when Sielis overthrew Palasios, in the 67th minute and Sporar, with an accurate execution two minutes later, put an end to any hopes of the guests, making it 2-0!

Changes followed on both sides, with Panathinaikos having another good phase in the 80th minute, but Bernard unable to score. While Sarlia failed to score with a header in the third minute of stoppage time…

MVP: He may not have scored, but he was everywhere…present. For Sebastian Palasios the reason, with the Argentinian winger winning Xi’s dismissal, the penalty that “locked” the game for Panathinaikos, plus one more that was not attributed to him! A really good performance, with a duration of these, his team wants…

The… whistle: What can one say about the referee of today’s match? Dangerous to say the least Fire, since he didn’t show a penalty not the one time he awarded it… necessarily, but at least two more times in consultation with Sidiropoulos from the VAR. Very bad in the disciplinary control as well, since from one point on he also allowed the delays of Volos.
