Historical “cuff” of Panetolikos in AEK!

Terrible Panetolikos, tease her AEK and wrote history! The people of Agrinio prevailed 2-1 in OAKA, in the context of the 18th game of Super League 1, taking their first “double” in their history against “Union”, which they forced in the second consecutive home defeat (after the match with OFI).

In fact, the team of Giannis Anastastiou -who achieved his first victory against AEK- managed it with overthrow! THE Ansarifard opened the scoring at 44′, by Chair to change and equalize at 78′ and the Mendoza to write 1-2 with a terrible shot 84′. Beam at 48′ with a direct foul by Tzavellas for AEK, which for another game could not redeem the lead it took.

Note that the hosts protested strongly both for faul to Mandalo at the beginning of the 1-1 phase, as well as for Red card in marking on Abrabat before the draw of the guests.

Stay in 3rd place (33b.) the “Union”, in -1 from the 2nd PAOK and to -9 from the champion Olympiakos (which also has the derby with Panathinaikos), with Panetolikos going up to 9th place with 18 points, catching Volos.

In the… minds of coaches:

With 4-2-3-1 Argyris Giannikis represented AEK. Tsintotas and Svarnas remained at home and at the right end of the defense, respectively. At the other end was Mohammadi, with Vranies returning next to Javelin. The duo of midfielders were composed by Simoes and Le Talec, with Mandalos moving in front of them in a free role. On the right “wing” was Amrabat, on the left Garcia, with Chuber remaining on the bench. Ansarifard was placed at the top of the attack.

Note that the Stankovic and Michelin was not even in the 20s, with Hadjiemmanuel and Rota on the bench. From there on, the “Union” could not count on Araouchos, Simanski and Galanopoulos.

Same system by Giannis Anastasiou. Under the beams was Melissa, with Louis, Vrgotz, Cornelius and Huhoumi forming, from right to left, the defensive line. The duo in the central midfield were Flores and Antones, with Brabosa, Mendoza and Duarte moving behind the only forward, Nikos Vergos.

Apart from Panetolikos, they were Rodrεςguez, Pereira, Liavas, Dias, Varone and Pardalos, while the former AEK goalkeeper, Giannis Anestis, remained on the bench.

The match:

The match started with a good rhythm, something that did not last long. AEK had taken the initiative from the beginning, moving the ball – attempting mainly from the right – but it was difficult to find corridors. On the other hand, Panaitolikos could have waited behind the ball, but not only was it not playing a drum, but it was just trying to threaten when given the opportunity.

A first half with few good moments. Essentially, we had to get in the final straight, in order for the two teams to score their biggest opportunity. In the 37′ The Μάνταλος passed to Ansarifard, who caught the shot from the height of the large area, with Bee to repel with difficulty. In the 41′ the guests quickly unfolded the counterattack, with him Barbosa to do the diagonal finish and him Tsintota to block.

And where everything showed that the first part will be completed without goals, came the Ansarifard to give the solution for AEK, opening the score at 44′: THE Μάνταλος found the Iranian forward with an excellent ball in the field, with the latter leaving the opponent with him next to him Brgots. The striker of the “Union” pressed the area, neutralized the Croatian stopper with a terrible closed dribble, in order to calmly place Melissa. With the leader of the “Union” noting the 9th assist of.

Strong “kick” in the second half by AEK, which tried to find a quick goal to lock the match. In fact, just at 48′ he had beam, with the very nice direct foul by him Javelin, which stopped at the left beam. Another great opportunity for the “Union” at 49′, with the Bee to repel his one-piece shot Garcia.

Then the pace dropped again. To get to the … hot half of Panetolikos. In the 78′ The Karelis -eight minutes after entering the match- left behind the crossbar all alone, ran on the counterattack and pressed area, to accurately place him Tsintota.

And before he could recover from the shock, AEK looked at 84′ τον Mendoza to catch a terrible fake shot outside the area, sending the ball to the window. In fact, in the next minute, the Argentine ace went off the field, as he was struggling for an hour.

Nothing changed in the last minutes, with Panaitolikos furiously celebrating the great “double”.

MVP: He scores a goal and gives the victory to his team. In fact, he manages to do it by being injured! No more reasons are needed for the informal discrimination to go to Mendoza.

The whistle: The truth is that by the time the match entered its final straight, Mr. Gamaris had gone almost unnoticed. Nevertheless, the people of AEK protested strongly for two phases, which play a catalytic role in the development of the match. First for the pressing of Martenson on the knee of Abrabat and then for the marking of Duarte on Mandalo, from whose fall the phase for 1-1 begins. In both cases what the “Union” asks for (red and foul, respectively) are given.
