The heroic AEK of 10 players punished the misguided PAOK and made a historic double!

Endure against PAOK and it was picked up by AEK!

In a match that his team Matias Almeida he was playing with ten players from the 6th minute due to his suspension Rota, saw the ‘double-header of the north’ players horribly misplaced. Nevertheless, Mukudi in the 26th minute and Paolo Fernandes with an incredible goal in the 90th + 2nd minute redeemed the “yellow and black” (2-0) who conquered the Greek Cup Novibet and the third double in their history!

Terrible self-denial from her Join who played for almost the entire match with less football, but endured and is closing the season dreamily. At the same time, his team Razvan Lucescu he leaves the “Panthessaliko” empty-handed and with… damn it, because of at least seven classic phases to score!

He broke his streak of three victories PAOK at the expense of AEKwhile with the said result “smiles” and Olympic who definitively holds in his hands the third good European ticket!

For the first time after 45 years, she does a double AEK (in everything he has defeated him PAOK in the final), while reaching 16 Cups in its history.

In the coach’s mind

Matias Almeida defeated AEK with 4-4-2. With Stankovic from the “Cup eleven” kept in the starting line-up and under the posts, the remaining ten were the “starters”.

With Rota, Vida, Mukudi, Hadjisafi making up the defense and Szymanski, Pineda, Gacinovic and Eliasson in the back four in a diamond. Zuber teamed up with Levi Garcia in the attacking duo.

Razvan Lucescu lined up PAOK with 4-2-3-1. Kotarski was in goal and Sastre, Ingason, Koulierakis and Rafa Soares in the defensive four. Schwab and Augusto the duo in the axis, with Zikvovic, Constantelia, Tyson in the central attacking triplet. Brandon Thomas was at the top of the offense.

The match

Nervous first four minutes with duels and fouls on both sides, but also a… Mukudi to Thomas. THE PAOK had too high a defense, with the AEK to look for the opposition and touch the goal in the 5′ with him Levi who managed to “succeed” him by contact Kotarsky. In the very next minute, the balance changed after o Rota first he did tragic control and then pulled him Tyson who was leaving alone opposite the Stankovicfacing the red card from Brich.

THE PAOK he took advantage of his numerical advantage, took possession and had long spells to open the scoring. THE Swab in the 11th minute he didn’t find a goal from the area, while two minutes later o Tailor saw him Stankovic to stop him. With the momentum “black and white”, the visitors could not get … half a counter, but a reckless foul by Constantia to Hadjisafi, brought the “yellow and black” lead. It was the 26th minute, with the free kick being taken from the left, the defenders failed to clear and the Mukudi executed him Kotarsky for 1-0.

A goal that made him PAOK to go even higher, with the whole AEK playing in 1/3 of the pitch but still not defending as well as he should have. THE Constantelias with a wonderful cross in the 30′ he served to Swabbut o Stankovic blocked the Austrian’s header with a double effort, while nine minutes later o Constantelias shot high out from almost the small area and wide to the left! THE Lucescu he again saw his players not finding the net easily, something they have faced all season, with him Tailor to have a crossbar in the 42nd minute to bring the final to… equal and 1-0 in favor of AEK to stay until the end of the half.

THE AEK she had tightened more, she has shortened her line spacing too much, and understandably she was only interested in keeping zero. THE PAOK at the beginning of the second part he had a slow movement, while he had not put him in his game Zivkovic. Anxiety, haste and many mistakes by the “black and white”, who had lost the momentum of the first part and were “shouting” that they wanted change.

THE Almeida he was the one who made the first moves from the bench, taking off Pineda, Shimanski and Levi and putting on Sidibe, Jonson, Amrabat. By Lucescu to cast Vieirania, Biseswar instead of Sastre, Soares, betting on experience and personality. THE PAOK threatened with Živković’s header in the 66th minute which went wide, while eight minutes after Tyson’s shot from the edge of the area ended up in the center of the goal and in the arms of Stanković.

The “yellow and black” were trying to keep the ball, but they couldn’t, with the “double head of the north” reaching the equaliser. Nevertheless, Mr Augusto in the 77th minute he found himself… face to face with the goal, crossed out and missed a huge chance for 1-1. Zuber had covered the gap of Hadjisafi and cleared Biseswar’s dangerous turn for a corner, while in the 85th minute his shot Constantia he passed out a bit. PAOK had massively taken the lead, they threatened again three minutes later with Jima shooting outside the area but Stankovic “getting it out”, while in the 90′ ​​his foul Vierinia he missed a few outs!

PAOK had gone all out on the attack and paid for it, after Ingason and Zuber dueled for a ball, the Swiss won it and broke into the Fernandeswho with an unimaginable dribble cleared the Icelandic stopper and executed Kotarski from a difficult angle to make it 2-0, sealing AEK’s name in the Novibet Hellenic Cup cup!

MVP: Matias Almeida! He is the one who changes the whole mentality of AEK, since he takes a team… looser and makes it a winner, winning a double after 45 years! He doesn’t panic in “Panthessaliko” after the quick dismissal of Rota, he makes internal changes and manages the match excellently in the second half since his movements from the bench are what he needs to “tighten” his team. In fact, his last change, Fernandes, is the one that locks the cup. In the bra-de-fer of the benches, Almeida prevails over Lucescu, especially in the second half!

The whistle: O Felix Brich he had an excellent game, showing that he is one of the top referees in the world. He correctly sent off Rota in the 6th minute, managed the match properly so as not to draw too many cards and let it play out enough, despite the protests from both sides. He didn’t let the players or the benches protest and rodeo the match, always being close to the phases and with continuous observations!
