AEK βη off in Peristeri

With a decisive image combined with… professional victory against harmless and moneyless Fearless, the AEK had an easy afternoon in Peristeri, celebrated an important away victory (2-0) for the 19th game of the Super League and remained within breathing distance of the second in the PAOK standings.

The “yellow-blacks” despite the absence of Tsintotas, which was combined with his debut Hadjiemmanuel, but also the injury problem that arose with Mandalo, got three valuable points, which were nevertheless combined with complaints about the refereeing of Gorilla.

In the coach’s mind:



THE Chris Coleman chose it again 4-3-3 and Gianniotis under the beams of Atromitos, with Casteliano, Galvao, Strouggi and Vasilantonopoulos remaining in the top four in defense, as with PAS. In front of them in a trio were Dennis, Kartalis and Harisis, in the extreme Munith and Bedinelli, while the only one promoted is Koulouris.

THE Argyris Giannikis lined up his team in Peristeri with 4-2-3-1 and young Hadjiemmanuel at the finish. Rota, Mitoglou, Tzavellas and Mohammadi were in the defense and Le Talek-Simanski in front of them. Garcia and Chuber in the extreme, Mandalos of course in the role of organizer and Ansarifard at the top of the attack.

The match:



In a game that started without phases and Atromitos has the upper hand, AEK was the one who smiled at 22’, in the first essentially big phase of the match! After a foul by Mandalos, Livai Garcia went down and shot, but Gianniotis kicked, to come Tzavellas with a shot from the height of the penalty and open the score!

In the 29th minute, Mandalos took the ball and stepped on the opponent’s area, with him Denic to fall for the tackle. As it appeared from the replay, the Serb called him finds on his feet when trying to gather the legs. They probably saw something like that in the VAR and told Gorilla to continue the match.

Another difficult phase was in the delays of the first half. In its phase Koulouris’s side kick, the attacker of Atromitos goes to bring back quickly and o Μάνταλος with Rota they stop him with their hands. As the Atromitos striker falls from the replay that appears, hits the leader of AEK with his foot.



With the entry of both teams on the field for the second half and specifically in 51’, after a fantastic cross by Livai Garcia in Chuber and a terrible move by the Swiss in the back of Atromitos’ defense, the “Union” doubled its goals with a beautiful place against Gianniotis!

The hosts could not react, with AEK pressing and Gianniotis saving Garcia’s shot in 59 ‘. Essentially everything ended in 65 ‘, when after a sideline o Munith first had a verbal confrontation with him Rota and then hit the defender in the face of the guests, something that brought his immediate and absolutely justified expulsion from the match.

From there on everything was a standard process with many changes but also the nerves to drop the rhythm to a huge degree. In the 75th minute, Denic got a header in the heart of the opposing defense that… scratched the crossbar of Hadjiemmanuel and from there and then absolutely nothing, except for the decisive intervention of Mohammadi in the delays, before Klonaridis sent the ball into the net!

MVP: He may not have managed to score, but Livai Garcia gave a fantastic assist at 2-0, while he was “inside” in the first goal. The winger of AEK reminded us for good of their appearances last year and was clearly one of the most crucial for the team of Giannikis in a mediocre match in general.

The “whistle”: The truth is that today’s match was marked by two phases for which AEK is shouting. One is Koulouris’s blow to Mandalos and one is Denic’s tackle on the leader of the “Union”. In both the first and the second case he allegedly spoke to the VAR which gave him the approval to continue.
