Definitive stoppage of the derby, will be decided in the courts!

They fell for good end titles in one of the most episodic “eternal” derbies of recent years!

The Italian referee of the match between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos, Fabio Maresca, decided to stop the match, after the choice of the “clover” not to return to the playing field of “G. Karaiskakis”, as well the match doctor was unable to judge whether Huancar is fit to compete after getting injured by throwing a firecracker! This means, of course, that the game will be decided in the courtrooms.

We remind you, after Kamara’s goal for 1-1, in the 48th minute, one firecracker seriously injured Juancar, who was warming up at the time. The Spanish full-back fell on the pitch visibly dizzy and finally left with the stretcher. Five minutes later, Panathinaikos left for the locker room and Olympiacos a little later. There, in the locker room that is, the unbelievable happenedwith the match doctor, Christos Gogosto initially say that Huancar is injured and needs to go to the hospital, and then to the… turns everythingstressing that Panathinaikos’ Spanish full-back is clinically fine, with the referee giving the ‘green’ light for play to continue.

Panathinaikos requested the doctor’s opinion in writingnoting how Juancar is dazed and doesn’t listen, in order to take legal action against him. The opinion, for some inexplicable reason, was never given to the “trefoil” people, with Mr. Gogos, after all, reporting to the “greens” orally that he is not in a position to judge whether Huancar can fight!

By the decision of the referee, therefore, the derby was brought to a definitive halt and will be judged in the courts, while the relevant paragraph of the CAP states the following:

Article 21: Non-performance or suspension of a match by CAP

“3 II. The guilty team is penalized cumulatively with the following penalties: a) By losing the match with goals 0-3, unless the result favors the non-faulty team, in the event of the match being stopped or the team withdrawing, in which case the minimum result that favors the non-causal group.

d) If a team withdraws from a match after it has started, with a deduction of five (5) points from the current and five (5) points from the next match period and a monetary penalty from twenty (20,000) to two hundred thousand (200,000) Euros for PAEs and up to two thousand (2,000) euros for unions. In this case, the guilty team is not entitled to a share of the proceeds of the match, which goes to the organizer”.

In the pure racing piecenow, at 50 minutes of the match, Olympiacos and Panathinaikos they stayed at 1-1.

With the “trefoil” which overall it was superiorhad several opportunities before and after his goal, to take the lead at 28′by Vaiannidisafter a free kick by Mladenovic.

For the “red and whites” to equalize with… good morning in the second half, from a steal and completion of the phase by Archin the 48′.
