She was excellent throughout the game, she had Levi Garcia in high spirits and pressed her Shakhtar AEK (5-0)!
Matias Almeida’s team “caught” last year’s performance and by bringing to the field all the elements required by the Argentinian coach, they turned their task against the Ukrainian champion, who has secured a place in the Champions groups, into a very easy one League!
In excellent condition the striker from Trinidad and Tobago who scored hat trick, with all the players of the “yellow and black” showing great spirit and no one lagging behind on the pitch. Another impressive performance from him Zini, who entered the game and “shined”, scoring billion.
The Greek doubles were down to ten players from the 18th minute, with the match referee exhausting his rigor and showing two yellow cards to Amrabad in the same phase, initially for a foul and then for a protest. Something that also happened for Shakhtar in the 28th minute, with Udot to be expelled – already having a yellow card – for a hard foul on Levia.
In the coach’s mind:
Matias Almeida lined up AEK with the familiar 4-4-2, with Athanasiadis in goal, Rota, Vida, Mukudi, Hadjisafi in defense, Jonsson, Simanski in the axis and Ambrabat, Eliasson in the wings and Zuber just behind the promoted Levia.
The match
AEK entered the game better and threatened in the 5th minute, with Cumber to release nicely outside the area and shoot, with Tvardovski blocking.
Seven minutes later, however, Almeida’s team managed to take the lead. In the 12th minute of the match, Vida stole the ball in the midfield area and made a move from the left to take the ball from Amrabad, and the moment he took possession of it he “smashed” it to Levi, who made it 1-0 with a nice move on the move.
