AEK reached the top with a hat-trick before the … devil’s week!

Aerati before… devil’s week AEK!

Matias Almeida’s team beat Heraklion 3-0, where they cleaned OFI with two goals by Amrabad and one by Gacinovic.

Mandalos also had a great night, who scored two assists, with Union reaching the top and waiting for tomorrow’s Panathinaikos-Panaitolikos – before the difficult games with Fearless and Olympian.

In the coach’s mind

With the known 3-5-2 listed OFI o Valdas Dabrauskas, who chose Mandas in goal and Diamantis, Pasalidis, Torarinson in defense. In the midfield, Duce-Meyado, with Larson and Balogianni as back-half. Bakic was behind the attacking duo, with Toral and Diko in front of him.

The Matias Almeidamarched again with 4-4-1-1, having Athanasiadis in goal and Rota, Vida, Mukudi, Hadjisafi in defense. Jonsson found himself on the axis, with Pineda in front of him and Amrabat and Pineda at the ends. Zuber is the only forward, with Mandalo a little behind him.

The match

AEK entered with a desire to press but the Cretans managed to balance the situation quickly, even reaching the first good moment. It was in the 18th minute, when o Dicko he caught the header after a ball from Balogiannis but it was off target.

Two minutes later, Mr Mandas blocked the ball after Thorarinsson’s header Cumberwhile Mukudi’s header in the 22nd minute had a similar result.

The first big moment of the match came in the 27th minute, with Gacinovic to catch a nice pass from the left but to see the OFI goalkeeper make an impressive save.

In the 35th minute, Cumber he missed the chance to score from close range when Diamantis blocked his shot, but in the 43rd minute it was 1-0 for Union.

Scorer o Amrabad, who took advantage of Madalo’s brilliant free-kick and scored from a wide positionwith the ball going against Pasalidis as well.

OFI looked for the equalizer before the break, but o Athanasiadis he said two majestic “no’s” to Bakis and Balogiannis in a matter of seconds.

The visitors came out strong in the second half aiming for a quick second goal and they found it in the 49th minute, with Amrabad making it 2-0 with a curling shot from inside the areataking advantage of the fact that the home defense… fell asleep!

The Cretans touched the goal with an improbable shot by Bakits from the cross that was neutralized by Athanasiadis in the 55′, with Pineda seeing his shot against a defender in the 59′.

Finally three minutes later it was 3-0, with Mandalo making a face with the goal Gacinovic and him to finish the phase perfectly, locking the victory of his team.

Meyado’s shot from inside the area in the 73rd minute went wide of AEK’s right-hand post, with the final step being Van Weert’s four-pointer in the 85th minute – with Manda stopping him.

MVP: Difficult choice between the top two of AEK. We will choose him Amrabad instead of Mandalus as he was the one who cleaned up the match with two goals. And the Greek midfielder of course reminded once again why he is necessary in his team.

The… whistle: THE Diamantopoulos ruled that there was no penalty for Larsson’s challenge on Vida in the 34th minute, even giving the Croatian a yellow card for theatrics. A certainly difficult phase, which also brought the reaction of the “yellow and black”. From there, at 3-0, he received confirmation from VAR that Gacinovic was being covered.
