“Hot” Crespiexecuted with two goals the Peristeri team after three finals, a big missed opportunity in the first half for the guests to equalize with Vergos missing a penalty kick. Own goal by Kastanio the 2-1 of Atromitos, he sealed his great performance with an amazing goal o Nikos Kaltsas. Unlucky, o Cut out who had a goal and failed to be rewarded for the terrible match he played.

Arcades were superior throughout the match and again surpassed Lamia in the standings by two points (29 vs. 27) and they now have the upper hand on their return to the postseason playoffs 2020-21.

On the other hand, Atromitos stayed at -9 from sixth place and now turns his attention to Wednesday’s (31/1) rematch with Panathinaikos for the Cup, where he wants to defend his 2-1 advantage from the first match.

In the minds of the coaches:

With the 4-2-3-1 lined up Asteras o Milan Rastavac. Grammatikakis in goal, with Lyratzis, Kastanio, Djukanovics, Alvares in the defensive four. On the axis, Munafos and Yablonski with Bartolo in the role of ten, while behind Miritelos, there were Kaltsas from the right and Crespi from the left.

For Atromitos o Sasha Ilyich insisted on 4-3-3. Tsintotas in the goalposts, with Kyvrakidis, Acevedo, Tzavella, De Bock in the back. Triad in the midfield with a “six” by Kunde and insiders Erlingmark and Ender. In the attack, Romaille on the right, Valencia on the left and Vergos on top.

The match:

Identifiers first ten minutes into the match with both teams being quite careful at the back, betting on their rapid development in the transition.

However, Atromitos players took more initiatives at the start of the match, trying more from the axis to threaten Asteras. His first final match, recorded in 16th minute. Ender, took the ball and with a vertical pass, found him Vergowho traveled a few meters, stepped into the area, crossed from a difficult position but sent the ball to the outside of Grammatikaki’s net.

However, against the flow of the match, Asteras was the one who took the lead in the score. The Arkades developed magnificently from the right, with Lyratzi and the Bartolo to combine, the ball reached the Sock on the right, he crossed to the far post, with Crespi to place in the move for 1-0. The phase was examined through VAR for offsidewith the goal counting normally.

Atromitos tried to react by looking for him Vergo and Valencia with deep balls on the back of the Arcadian defense, which starred him Chestnutresisted continuously.

But in the 34th minute came the great opportunity for Ilic’s team to equalize the match, after Munafo, with a sloppy marking, threw Ender to the ground by taking a penalty and making fun of himself knowing that he committed the offense. THE Vergos he took the ball to execute, however his selection was poor, resulting in the ball going out and the 1-0 in favor of Asteras to remain.

The match got “on fire” from that point onwards, with the ball going up and down and with Asteras registering a good final in 38′. Another rational development from the right in transition with Bartolo distributing right to Kaltsa, the Greek winger crossed to the second post, but the scorer’s header, Crespi, went over the crossbar.

Atromitos’ “answer” to the opportunities came at 42′ with Vergo taking the ball from outside the area and setting up, he attempted the shot but the ball ended up in his arms Grammarly with 1-0 remaining until the end of the first half.

No changes for either team at the start of the second half in Tripoli with Asteras making a visit to Tsintotas and Miritelos in the 47th minute trying with an ambitious shot from the center to beat the Atromitos goalkeeper, to no avail .

The home team, however, did not slow down and in the 52nd minute they came a breath away 2-0. Kaltsas, in one of his well-known advances from the right, made a cross in the area, Bartolo set the projection with Tsintotas reacting by sending the ball first to the post and then to a corner. But from Bartolo’s execution, the ball reached the Blueberrywho made a spinning header, found Crespi who pushed it into the net from close range for the 2-0. However, not even here… we avoided VAR with them Sidiropoulos and Tzilos to delay to consider whether there is an offside in the phase, with the goal being counted too late.

Atromitos, however, had not said his last word and after warning him De Bock in the 61st minute with a header, he reduced the score three minutes later. Dirks, who had just entered the match, crossed from the right with his left foot, marking De Bock at the second post, he headed it, Grammatikakis saved, but sent the ball to Kastanios, who unwittingly sent it to nets for the 2-1.

However, before the celebrations stopped and after some moves from the bench, Asteras regained the “cushion” of the two goals. Awesome counter attack with him Jungle to leave from the left and pass to Crespi, he changed again with the young man, who saw Kaltsa and he coldly executed Tsintotas with a right “shell” for the 3-1 in 77′.

The Peristeri team did not hesitate and tried to immediately re-enter the match. So on 81′ he missed a great chance to reduce when, from Ender’s filling in the area, Kastanio made a poor clearance, the ball reached Kunde outside the area, who controlled and shot, but the ball hit Grammatikaki’s crossbar and went wide.

Asteras just before the end, almost gave dimensions of triumph to his victory with him Jungle to receive a magnificent “stop” from Tsintotas in tete-a-tete at 90’+4′.

MVP: Undoubtedly, Crespi judged the match! The Spaniard was… a cool executioner netting two of his three finals in the match, helping score Astera’s goals and sending them into the top six again.

The “whistle”: Fearful in the management of the match o Tasos Sidiropoulos. The Greek referee, in the first two goals of Asteras, had to consult Tzilos in VAR, so that he could see that there was nothing irregular.
