In an exciting match, Panionios defeated Peristeri on penalties with a score of 5-3 (7-7 points) and advanced to the semi-finals of the men’s A1 polo playoffs.
The “blue and red” made it 2-0 in the victories after a terrible match and will probably face Olympiakos, which leads 1-0 in the victories over Panathinaikos.
Panionios entered the match strongly and led 3-0, with Peristeriotes reducing to 5-4 by halftime. Panionios kept the lead in the third eight minutes as well, but Peristeri stepped on the gas in the finale of regular time and equalized at 7-7.
The great battle continued in the penalties, with Limarakis “cleaning up” for Neosmyrniotes, repelling Prekas’ penalty.
