Double… soul for the 10-player AEK in Volos!

With… a double soul, AEK won over Volos and made a save in the championship!

The “yellow and black” prevailed 3-2 of the team of Magnesia in the context of the 3rd competition. In a game in which they again found themselves behind in the score (6/6 this year), just at 8′ and where in 24′ they were left with ten players due directly red to Latch.

However, Matias Almeida’s team pulled out the mental reserves he shows in similar situations (such as in the Cup final with PAOK in the same stadium when he was left with ten from the 6th minute or in the epic upset against Dinamo) and turned the match. In front of approx 3.5 thousand friends those who were at the Panthessal Stadium.

Of course, in addition to soul, he also had… obvious signs of work, since he constantly threatened me static phases. That’s how she found all three of her goals. The first two within six minutes, at 32′ with his maiden goal Johnson with the yellow and black ones and at 36′ with his direct foulard Cumber. The third in 90’+3′ by Amrabad, who came in and gave the match to his team. Two excellent crosses from the Moroccan ace, from the first it resulted beam of Araujo in the 88′ and from the second the penalty (from Mukudi’s header), which he executed himself with his well-known… cold blood. Thus, the “double-header” responded to the home team’s equalizer at 72′.

Both goals for Voliotes by Deletich (who had also scored in last year’s 1-0 Rizoupoli), the first by his mistake Mukudi.

To them four points -and with a less match (that of the premiere against Panaitolikos)- now “Enos”, which after the break has hot program with Olympiakos (inside), Brighton (away) and Panathinaikos (away). To them three point stayed o Marblewho will be hosted by Atromitos the following matchday.

In the… minds of the coaches:

THE Kostas Bratsos choose it 4-3-3 for Bullet and Siabani at the hearth. Alcho started on the right end of the defense, Kitsos on the left, with Sielis and Aslanidis in the center. Tsokanis, who had Trouige and Cornete in front of him, with Deletics and Koba flanking Moraitis in the attack, was the number six.

On the other hand, Mr Matias Almeida lined her up AEK with system 4-4-1-1 and with four changes compared to the midweek game with Antwerp (except Amrbat, Simanski, Pineda and Gacinovic). Stankovic under the posts, with Rota, Vida, Mukudi and Hadjisafi making up the defensive four, from right to left. Galanopoulos flanked Jonson in midfield, with Zuber starting on the left (as in the rematch with the Belgians) and Eliasson on the right, while Mandalos moved behind Ponce.

The match:

AEK, as is logical, took the initiative of the movements from the beginning. In fact, he was quite active Rotawho also missed a big chance at 7′by Siambani to send away the shot he caught from a position inside the right with an impressive throw in a corner.

And on the… lids (8′) came the 1-0 for the hosts. From… nowhere or rather from his fatal mistake Mukudiwho – without looking – turned the ball over to the all-alone player Deletich who placed her under the feet of Stankovic.

Despite the coolness, AEK was forced to react. He tried it with three more moments, initially with Mukudi (17′) and Cumber (19′) and then at 22′ with the huge opportunity again from Rotaafter terrible feints from the Swiss ace and shots he countered.

To get to 24′, when things became even more difficult for the “yellow and black”. THE Latch went with the caps on Koba’s stomach (towards the sides) and thus Evangelos Manouhos correctly pointed directly to the Red card.

AEK continued with a system 4-4-1, Ponce at the top, Zuber on the left, Eliasson on the right and Galanopoulos-Yonson in the midfield. He believed it. And he reached the upset with ten players within 6′, through two static phases. One of the many he won since he was constantly moving the ball around the Volos area.

First strike at 32′: Sweet execution of a foul – another one – around the perimeter of the area by Eliassonfound him Johnson at the far post, with the Danish midfielder scoring with a cracking header!

Second in 38′. After a foul won by Ponce from Aslanidis just outside the semi-circle of the large area, o Cumber took charge and with terrific direct execution wrote the 1-2 (the ball gained height, landed and after… licking the inside of the crossbar, it was nailed to the left “window”).

A goal that created an even bigger frenzy among the 3.5 thousand fans of the “two-headed”, who until the final saw their team execute three more consecutive corners, with the score remaining at 1-2.

Volos started the second half with two changes (Luna and Kruzliak instead of Kitsou and Aslanidis). The hosts also had the first dangerous moments. Initially, at 49′Jonson turned wrongly, with Vida to cut off his advance Moraitiswhile at 55′ the ball after the unmarked header Koba he went out

AEK, with ten players, responded to the opportunities with two shots from outside the area Ponce in the 60′ and his Eliasson in the 62′.

In the 67th minute, Matias Almeida crossed into their field of play Araujo and Zini instead of Zuber and Ponce (the Argentine went to the left and the young Angolan to the top). The two of them collaborated on 69′after an excellent passage of the first.

In the 70′AEK still had a great moment from a static phase (corner), with Eliasson to execute and Siabani to block his header Vida who jumped higher than everyone else.

And since the goal was not scored, “Union” paid for it in the next phase, at 72′. The newcomer Engin turned from the left, the AEK defense was unable to clear, with Deletich to catch a shot from the “heart” of the area and score for the second time in the match. The pitch was ruled offside on Engin, with the lines showing that there was no foul.

Almeida took a risk, threw in Simanski, Pineda and Amrabadwith the latter centering on 88′ and the Araujo to send the ball to beam with a head!

The game had entered the final stretch. Amrabad looked… determined to be a savior for his team. He made another nice cross to 90’+1′the ball after Mukudi’s header found the Kruzliak’s outstretched hand and Manouchos showed the white bullet! The execution was carried out by the Moroccan midfielder who sent Siabani to the other corner, celebrating furiously the final 2-3!

Watch the match live here.

MVP: Many distinguished, the distinction will go to one. Amrabad! The Moroccan ace comes in and gives the game to his team. Two excellent crosses from the right, from the first a post results, from the second the penalty. He took the responsibility himself and classically… cold-bloodedly sent the ball into the net. Very good game from Vida as well (in general he has made a very good start to the season), while Eliasson caused a lot of problems with his shots from set pieces. Close up and Jonsson.

The whistle: There were many phases that decided the game, all correct in terms of diet. The expulsion of Mandalus was correct (very dangerous marking), the foul that resulted in the 1-2 with Zuber was correctly given. Penalties requested by Volos and AEK in the 55′ (Moraitis) and 78′ (Araucho) were rightly not given, while the one was correctly whistled in stoppage time, with Kruzliak holding out his hand.

The initial compositions of the two teams:

Volos (Kostas Bratsos): Siabanis – Alcho, Sielis, Aslanidis (46′ Kruzliak), Kitsos (46′ Luna) – Tsokanis, Trouige (75′ Trouige), Cornete (60′ Engin) – Deletics, Moraitis (71′ Mraz), Koba.

AEK (Matias Almeida): Stankovic – Rota, Vida, Mukudi, Hadjisafi (77′ Pineda) – Eliasson (77′ Amrbat), Jonson, Galanopoulos (73′ Simanski), Zuber (68′ Araujo) – Ponce (67′ Zini), Mandalos.
