In the 20th minute, Grigoriou’s team had another great chance, when after a foul by Valerianou, Buena from an advantageous position cannot find the ball and threaten. Six minutes later Kanias made the cross, Valerianos turned with his head and Manzis executed Mandas with an improbable scissors kick for 1-0. However, with the help of VAR, the goal was disallowed for offside.

Then came the moment of OFI to threaten, with him Balogiannis in the 31′ to be in a four-on-four position with Houtesiotis, but the Greek keeper neutralized the phase. The Cretans threatened again in the last minutes of the first half with a very nice shot from him Bakits, which however stopped at the beam. Somehow the two teams went to the locker room tied (0-0).

The second half started in an episodic way with the referee Papapetrou to assign a penalty to Ionikos in the 50′ as he considered that Vouros overthrew him Fatiga within the area. However, Papadopoulos, who was in the VAR, called him to see the phase and finally took back both the penalty and the red card he initially gave to Vouros.

In the 58th minute the home team had a great chance to make it 1-0, when after a corner Seba and Valerianos made a great combination, the Canias did the shot with them Fly and Buena not being able to score from close range. OFI then took measures on the field and began to threaten.

The minutes passed, the score remained 0-0 and in the 80th minute the referee gave a penalty to the Cretans for pushing Buena on the Toral. As they were running towards the ball, the Ionikos stopper stepped on him unintentionally and through the VAR there was a suggestion for a penalty. Somehow, three minutes later, the Spaniard executed from the white bullet to make it 1-0. Then the nerves were enough and there was no shortage, with Papapetrou dealing cards.

At 90+2’O OFI the game was essentially over, when o Toral after Lovera’s mistake outside the area, he took the pass from Balogiannis and made it 2-0 with a perfect left-footed shot! In fact, in the 90+7th minute, the hosts were left with 10 players after a second yellow card by Valerianos, but it was something that did not affect the game.

Until the final whistle nothing changed, with OFI being in 9th place with 26 points, on the other hand though Ionikos counted its 2nd consecutive defeat and is in 12th place of the scoreboard with 15 points.

MVP: Toral was the most valuable player of the match, as he scored both goals for his team, thus giving them the victory.

The whistle: Tasos Papapetrou… did not succeed in a phase and the VAR corrected him three times. First in Mandzi’s goal where he gives offside, then in Fatiga’s penalty from Vouro which he takes back through on field review and finally with Buena’s penalty against Toral.
