Escaped from Nice Panathinaikos with a hero Aitor! The “greens”, in the context of the 19th game of Super League 1, prevailed 1-0 on him Ionian thanks to the goal of the Spanish winger in 38′. That’s how they got to second “double” in the league, while consolidating their place in the quartet.
It was difficult to put in the “clover” the warrior Ionikos, who had more finals but also beam with Fly in 48′. Eventually, however, the “blue and whites” met her 5th defeat in a row in the championship.
In the -3 from the 3rd AEK (less matches) o 4th Panathinaikos (30b.), Which is located at +3 from the 5th PAS Giannina and to +4 from the 6th OFI (more matches). Stay in 12th place (14b.) The Ionian, who is in +4 and to +5 by Atromitos and Apollon Smyrni, respectively (two matches more both).
In the… minds of coaches:
With system 5-3-2 quoted the Ionian o Dimitris Spanos. Under the beams was Houtesiotis, with Romao along with Czigrinski and Sanchez composing the trio in the stoppers. At the right end of the defense was Mygas, at the left Valerianos, with Kanias playing as a six. In front of the Spanish midfielder, Dalcio and Aosman played as internal midfielders, with Lenis and Thuram being the attacking duo.
It did not change 4-3-3 for Panathinaikos, with Ivan Jovanovic to keep Brinoli in the hearth. Kotsiras, Veleth, Senkefeld and Juankar made up the quartet in defense, with Perez, Mauricio and Vigiafanies being the trio of midfielders. Aitor started at the right end of the attack, Vital at the left instead of Palacios, with Carlitos being the only forward.
The match:
Panathinaikos took over initiative of the movements from the first minutes of the match. However, he faced huge difficulty to create corridors against the very well organized, I beg his 5-3-2, Ionian.
In fact, in the beginning, the hosts not only protected their backers without much problem, but they were the ones who created the first phases. In the 5′ his shot Dalsio from the semicircle of the large area went out, with him Χουτεσιώτη to block in 14′ its distant end Βιγιαφάνιες, in the first good moment of the “greens”.
The “blue and whites” began to threaten with static phases. Top of all that 16′, by Fly to catch the turning head, after his corner kick Aosman on the first beam, with the ball scraping through the right beam.
Then the pace dropped, with both teams playing hard enough. To get to 38′, when Panathinaikos managed to find nets. THE Περεθ put a nice ball in the back of the opponent’s defense, with the guests alternating the ball, the Βιγιαφάνιες to transfer it to Aitor with a parallel turn from the left and the Spanish winger to score with an impressive turn.
Panathinaikos tried to take advantage of their lead in the … caps, with Χουτεσιώτη to block in 40′ his long shot Carlitos.
Ionikos came in full force in the second half, having beam in the 48′! After his shooting Dalsio from the left, the Fly caught the shot, with the ball first finding his foot Juankar and then on the left crossbar, to pass a corner. Four minutes later, the right back of the home team had a shot from the edge of the area, but it was missed.
The “clover” had an important moment in 54′, When the Vital went against, pressed area, with him Fly to return to cut key.
In the 66′ The two teams made changes, with Jovanovic throwing Ioannidis and Palacios for Panathinaikos (instead of Carlitos and Vital) and Spanos Mantzis and Kiakos for Ionikos (replacing Thuram and Lenis). However, nothing dramatically changed in the next part of the game, with the guests defending the result in their favor.
MVP: Aitor in a terrible momentum. After his great performance with Anagennisi Karditsa (goals and two assists), the Spanish winger became a key player for Panathinaikos in the game of Naples. Terrible goal from the ace of the “greens”, who got what every big team wants from its extremes: In a game without many finals to give it the victory with one of their energies.
The whistle: Easy night for Aristotle Diamantopoulos. He did not have to face difficult phases, while he did not want to stop the game often. There was a fall of Juankar in the area of Ionikos in the 45th minute, however there was no violation.
