The match

THE Kifissia got into the game better than the Arcades who were trying to find their footing. However, Asteras made quick strides on the pitch and began to look threatening. This resulted in the visitors opening the scoring in the 13th minute when o Gosh executed the foul perfectly, with the Manji with a nice header to open the scoring.

After the goal the home team tried to find the equalizer with some good moments, however they had trouble finishing. In the 19th minute, Asteras had another great chance, when Garthia made the parallel turn, the Crespi went to score with a header from contact but o Masouras took the bite out of his mouth.

A minute later the Arcades they came a breather before the goal, with García making the cross but the ball stopped on the crossbar! Finally the 2-0 was made in the 34th minute when o Mantzis pierced the opposing defense with a terrific slash, took him out Crespi opposite Anagnostopoulos, with the Spaniard finishing with a fine spot to double the goals for his side.

In the 45th minute, the home team had a great chance to reduce the score with Vafeas taking the first header, Botia the second, with the ball finding the right post and then ending up in the arms of Papadopoulos! Until the final whistle, nothing changed with the Arkades going to the locker room with a lead (0-2).

The second half started as the first had started, with Kifissia entering strongly and having a great phase with Ozegovic to reduce in the 47th minute. With the visitors five minutes later shouting for a second yellow card to Botias, when he pulled Mandzis who went to run away on the counterattack but the referee did not “punish” him.

The match had a very good pace, the two teams showed a willingness to play openly and this came out on the field. With Kifisia being forced to attack to find the goal of the reduction and Asteras managing the advantage perfectly, while looking for the third on the counter. Masouras had his moment in the 66th minute to score, but he didn’t manage to do so, and shortly after, Arkades scored 3-0. Goss served up another goal, this time from a corner, with Djukanovic making a terrific finish to the move to score.

The tempo then dropped, with the home side finally finding the back of the net in the 88th minute when Bifuma produced a superb individual effort and a superb finish to beat Papadopoulos to make it 3-1, a score that stood until the final whistle.

MVP: We will have to split the award between Vassilis Manzis and Sean Goss, since their bid was too high. Perhaps the former deserves a little more, since he has a goal and an assist for Astera’s 2-0 in the 35th minute, while the Northern Irishman, who has tremendous quality, also had two assists.

The whistle: Tsakalides did not have a difficult task, although in the 52nd minute he could send Botias off with a second yellow card. Despite this, it did not produce an effect in Kaisariani.
