The requested for Panathinaikos, after the three consecutive defeats in the championship, it was the return to victories opposite Lamia. There was no room for new twists and losses for Ivan Jovanovic’s team, which did its job getting the desired result, prevailing 2-0.
The three-pointer is valuable. The greens “buy” calm, after their bad period, and of course rise in the standings. The “clover” took advantage of the defeat of Asteras Tripolis by Ionikos and rose again to 4th place, while reducing the difference from AEK to 6 points.
The gains, of course, except for the points and the psychological uplift after the victory – oxygen over Lamia, are much more for Panathinaikos. Fotis Ioannidis “unbuttoned” scoring both goals of the match, justifying his coach who had him as a key player again. The second goal, in fact, is impressive, a fact that stimulates the morale of the young man, who wanted very much to score in order to … get over the long period of time without finding nets.
Mayat Gacinovic started for the first time in the championship and second consecutive after the match with Anagennisi Karditsa in the Cup. The Serb was one of the best players in the team, playing in the midfield. He had quality transfers and contacts, he was moving fast in the field, he gave an impressive ball to Aitor to create an opportunity and he almost scored twice, but Saranov said “no”, first to a header and then to a nice fake shot with the left. It seems that this is a footballer who can raise the level of the midfield function of the “greens”.
Another gain for Panathinaikos is the fact that, finally, he found a corner kick. We are referring to 1-0, when after Aitor’s execution, Ioannidis sent the ball into the net with a header. This is the first time this year that the team scores in such a way and the second with a static phase. It was preceded by a header by Sanchez against PAS Giannina, from a foul by Vigiafanies.
Now, everyone is turning their attention to the difficult sequel, starting with the match with Apollon in Rizoupoli on Wednesday. THE target from here on out is building a winning streak for further scoring and even better psychology.
