Their home unbeaten streak was maintained Kifissiawhich despite playing with ten players from the 36th minute, held at 0-0 with OFI in the DAK Lamia.
The Cretans in fact they missed a penalty in the 88th minuteWhen the Luis Felipe saw him Anagnostopoulos to fall properly and parry his execution.
He made his debut with the hosts Schneiderlanwith the team of Yannis Anastasiou protests Ipalibo’s harsh dismissal with a straight red card in the first part.
In the coach’s mind
Steady with me 4-2-3-1 The Yannis Anastasiouwith Anagnostopoulos maintaining his position under the posts and Gobelic, Vafea, Botia and Masoura in defence.
Sneijderlan and Ipalibo found themselves on the axis, with Krisyuma, Iliev and Bifuma behind Ozegovic.
On the other hand, Mr Valdas Dabrauskas walked with 3-4-1-2, having Bauman in goal and Lambropoulos, Karo and Vouros in defense. Larsson, Glazer, Gagegos and Abada formed the midfielders, with Toral behind Dico and Luis Felipe.
The match
The hosts were in control in the first minutes of the match, but the first good moment belonged to the Cretans. At 13′, Diko broke the ball to Luis Felipe but he sent the ball out from an advantageous position.
Kifisia responded in the 20th minute, with Crisis to shoot from the right and Bowman to parry for a corner.
The Cretans threatened again in the 29th minute with his header Dicko which was stopped by Anagnostopoulos, while in the 36th minute the numerical balances changed, with Vergetis sending off with a straight red card Ipalibo for tagging Larson – with the decision being at least a strict one.
A missed shot by him Schneiderlan in first-half stoppage time it was the last significant phase before the break, with both teams going into the locker room scoreless.
The Cretans entered the second half as expected strong, with his header Dicko in the 54th minute to pass a few outs.
The pace nevertheless gradually began to fall, with the Anagnostopoulos to easily block his attempt Toral in 69′.
His attempt had the same result Neira in the 81′, with OFI finding a huge opportunity to break the… Gordian bond in the 85′.
Bothia overthrew him Luis Felipe inside the area and gave him the opportunity to set up the ball in the penalty area, but the Brazilian saw the goalkeeper of Kifisia to save his penalty impressively!
Somehow, the 0-0 scoreline remained unchanged, with the hosts remaining unbeaten at home and the Cretans missing out on a major double.
MVP: THE Alexandros Anagnostopoulos he deservedly wins the title of the top, having saved his team by saving a penalty in the 88th minute. And apart from that anyway, the Greek goalkeeper was solid under the posts and avoided any danger that presented itself.
The… whistle: A decision of his Vergeti brought strong reactions from the home team. The Greek referee dismissed Ipalibos with a straight red card, considering the Nigerian’s marking on Larsson to be dangerous, with the VAR calling him to review the phase but the referee not changing his mind. Strict dismissal, with the suggestion of the penalty on the other hand being correct.
