With his hero Yuri Lodigin and fateful Joao Carvalho and Mandi Kamara, Panathinaikos eliminated Olympiacos in the “Georgios Karaiskakis” penalty shootout, qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Betsson Hellenic Cup!
Whenever the “greens” needed their experienced goalkeeper, they were rewarded with the Russian “roulette” of penalties deciding the match where in 16 executions in total, the Portuguese midfielder and the defensive midfielder from Mali missed for Piraeus, while the only missed penalty by Panathinaikos came from his save Paschalaki in his shot Mladenovic.
During the process, however, two former teammates came face to face. The reason for him Yuri Lodingin and Daniel Podense with the second one defeating the expatriate goalkeeper from 11 steps by making him… a casura and giving the best shot of the derby!
The two co-existed at the Port this season 2018/19 and they have even been in the same lineup twice! The first time was on February 28, 2019 when the Ghoul eliminated the “red and white” in the Cup by winning 1-0 with Lodingin then defending the home of Olympiakos and Podense coming on as a substitute in the match at 56′.
Almost two months later, the team from Piraeus took its “revenge” from its counterpart from Fthiotida, winning 3-1 in “Athanassios Diakos” with the current goalkeeper of Panathinaikos once again at the home of Olympiakos and Podense being the main player!
