Clean Asteras with magic Gacinovic-Arauho and AEK is waiting!

Immediate reaction once again from AEK, with another victory in New Philadelphia!

“Enos” – as usual after negative results this season – left behind the defeat by PAOK. Prevailing 2-0 of Asteras Tripoli, for the 24th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League, did it 14/14 at OPAP Arena (37-2 in goals) and expects a loss of Panathinaikos or Olympiakos in the derby between them. In the -1 from the “greens” I was definitely 2nd (53b.), at +4 from the “red and whites” (with the same match as the “eternals”, but not counting the one with Atromitos). Arkades remained 9th with 24 points.

AEK – even with a little delay – took advantage of it Red card of Gardafsky from 4′. Offense won by Araujo (very dangerous marking on his achilles by the opponent), with the Argentinian forward opening the scoring in 32′ after a corner kick Gacinovic. The Serbian ace was the one who made it 2-0 in the 76′, while overall the two – especially the last one with terrible actions – were the top for the “two-headed”. The “yellow and black” could find another goal, finishing the game with 34-0 finals!

It should be noted that shortly before the end of the first part o Levi done forced changecatching his right adductor as he left.

In the… minds of the coaches:

The expected, based on the tests that had been carried out, changes were made by Matias Almeida for AEK. Of course it was preserved 4-4-1-1, with Gacinovic moving to the left end of the midfield line, while Pineda in central midfield. Athanasiadis remained at home, with Tzavela standing next to Vida in the center of defense replacing the suspended Mukudi. On the right end, Rota and on the left, Hadjisafi. In midfield, from right to left, Amrabat, Jonsson, Pineda and Gacinovic, with Araújo moving behind the promoted Levia. It is recalled that in addition to the injured (Van Weert, Fernandes, Mohammadi and Machiras), the suspended Szymanski was also absent.

On the other hand, Mr Akis Manzios bring down the Star with 4-2-3-1, opting for stoppers Djukanovic in the absence of Kastanios, with Munafos and Tilika also returning to the starting line-up. Under the posts was Papadopoulos, with Carmona and Alvares on the right and left ends of the defense, respectively. The duo of stoppers was made up of Picsu and Djukanovic, while the corresponding midfielders were Munafo and Alagbe. The mid-attack trio behind the promoted Barales consisted of Gardafski, Tilica and Zouglis.

The match:

From the start of the match, AEK moved the game into Asteras Tripoli’s half, which defended with a triple defense zone, at low meters and with its lines close.

Very quickly, however, a special condition was formed in the match. Specifically, just at 4′ The Gardafsky he went and found his Achilles heel with the plugs Araujowith George Tzovara showing it directly to him Red card.

The “Union” of course continued to have the possession and the initiative of the movements. However, she struggled to capitalize on her numerical advantage. He was trying to give width with some partnerships from the edges, but the Arkads’ dubbing was very good. Meanwhile, there was relative tension—especially between Barrels and Javella– with the markings of the visitors causing irritation on the bench and the friends of the “yellow and black”.

The first good time was created in 13′ with his shot Gacinovic from a difficult angle. The terrible inspiration (heel) of the Serbian ace – equal to his quality – in 16′ she was the one who put him in a four-a-four position Araujoby Papadopoulos to take out his place.

As was normal due to the numerical data, Asteras was having a hard time threatening. In the 21′ of course he scored with Barales’ header after a free kick, but the goal was disallowed as the Argentinian forward was exposed.

Afterwards, AEK threatened him Rota and his direct foul execution Gacinovic, but to no avail. All this until 32′when Matias Almeida’s team found the solution from a corner, phases that are worked to the fullest by the “bicephalo”: Execution by Gacinovicfirst head of Vidasecond – fish head – by Araujo on the rear beam and 1-0. This was the 6th goal of the “Union” captain this year (he also has nine assists).

As usual – and getting a boost from the “hot” OPAP Arena – the home team went to the… caps and for 2-0. In fact, they created enough chances before the end of the first half to do so. Characteristic is the direct execution of fouls by Levi (39′), the terrible cooperation from the ends of the Hadjisafi and Araujo (which opened up the opposing defense tremendously) at 42′ and the Iranian full-back’s shot from a position inside the left that went wide of the left post. While a good moment with a long shot was also had by Cumber at 45’+3′. The Swiss ace passed in his place Levi in the 45th minute, after the 25-year-old ace left with a problem in the right adductor.

The first quarter of the second half was spent with AEK camped outside the Papadopoulos area. He took some shots, but most of them either went wide or missed the target.

Big chance for the home team at 63′again from a corner kick, with Papadopoulos to defeat him Araujo who again headed the second post.

Another header from Araúchos at 67′, this time he passed out. THE Papadopoulos was in a very good day putting consecutive “stops” on the home team, as in 71′ in his place Eliassonin the 72′ to Johnson and to 74′ to Gacinovic who passed whoever he found in front of him.

AEK, taking advantage of Astera’s fatigue, moved the ball well and he took one phase after another. Finally, he found the second goal, at 76′. THE Cumber made the shot, the ball countered, reached the Gacinovicwho sent it into the net with a spot-kick on the move from a difficult angle, redeeming his excellent display.

AEK had other moments for another goal. In the end it didn’t come to that, since at 90′ he didn’t count his goal Eliasson for offside to Zuber at the start of the phase.

Watch the AEK-Asteras Tripoli match live here

MVP: Battle between Gacinovic and Araujo. From the feet of the first, 1-0 was created, terrible actions came out and 2-0 was also scored. On the other hand, the Argentinian forward won the penalty and opened the scoring. The accolade will narrowly go to the Serbian ace.

The whistle: Very dangerous marking of Gardafsi in the 4th minute and he was rightly sent off with a straight red card. Ortos also rightly did not count Barales’ goal in the 21st minute due to offside, as well as Eliasson’s in the 90th minute due to an offside on Zuber at the beginning of the phase. The hard game from the side of Arcades caused intense irritation on the bench and the friends of the “yellow and black”.

The compositions of the two teams:



AEK (Matias Almeida): Athanasiadis – Rota, Vida, Tzavellas, Hadjisafi – Amrabat (68′ Eliasson), Jonsson, Pineda (78′ Mandalos), Gatsinovic – Araujo (78′ Galanopoulos), Levia Garcia (45′ Tzumber).

Asteras Tripoli (Akis Manzios): Papadopoulos – Carmona, Picsu, Djukanovic, Alvares – Munafo, Alagbe (78′ Iglesias) – Gardafski, Tilica (78′ Tassoulis), Zouglis (78′ Bartolo) – Barales (46′ Kosteas, 90′ Riera).
