Friendly draw with an upset over PAO Roof for Panathinaikos B

A new friendly game for Panathinaikos B, this time against PAO Roof at the Olympic stadium, which ended in a 2-2 draw, with Sotiris Antoniou giving 19 of his players playing time.

The “greens” threatened for the first time in the 10th minute, from an excellent cross by Athanasakopoulos to Furtados, but Doumas cut his shot inside the area to Agostinhos at the last moment. While Marcelo repelled with a double effort a long, strong, shot by Voutsa in the very next minute.

A fine individual effort by Tavares, who beat three opponents from the left, entered the area, but instead of passing past Agostinho, he shot at an opponent, not resulting in a goal in the 29th minute. While Panathinaikos B had a crossbar from Furtado’s corner kick from the right and Serpezis’ header, in the development of the phase.

The visitors missed a great opportunity to open the scoring in the 31st minute, from Papoutsogiannopoulos’s turn and Kyriazis’s shot that went just wide. With Nitsakis shooting from a position outside the right and finding the ball on the outside of the left post of Margonos, in the 36th minute. Martinis brought down Nitsakis, four minutes later, with Tsarkani hitting the spot kick despite Margono’s right-footed tackle, making it 0-1 for PAO Roof.

The first notable phase in the second half was recorded in the 51st minute, when from a corner kick from the left, Tsarkani headed inside the area but missed. With Furtado taking a nice free kick from the right and Sideras not being able to get into the path of the ball, at the second post, despite being unmarked in the 60th minute. On the contrary, after pressure on the ball which resulted in Martinis being removed and Koukovini being robbed outside the area, Philimegas made it 0-2 with a shot in the 66th minute.

Tavares stole the ball, went on a frontal attack from the left, but Marcelo saved his spot-kick with his feet, in the 81st minute. With Karvounis seeing his shot from the height of the area hit the left post of the opponent’s goal, two minutes later.

The “clover” reduced the score in the 84th minute with a nice direct free kick by Sideras, from a lateral position and to the left of the large area. While he managed to equalize in the 88th minute, as Karvounis won a penalty and Sardelis hit from 11 steps, making it 2-2. He could, in fact, have won with a reversal, but Robbie’s header in the 90th minute after Martini’s cross on the counter-attack went narrowly wide.
