THE Verbich came back from injury to open the scoring in 8′while o Palasios in the 31′ scored his fifth league goal, both from assists Bernard.
For him to come Geremegev and to shape on delays of the match the final result, while at 45′ The Dunkerlois he had beam for the newly enlightened group.
Panathinaikos reached them 50 degrees and next Saturday (17/02) welcomes Lamia, while Panserraikos stayed at 23 points and two days later it is hosted by OFI.
In the minds of the coaches:
THE Panseraikos lined up in formation 4-2-3-1, with Hovan in goal and Diamanti, Thymiani, Bergström and Moreira four at the back. Ouedraogo and Staikos were the two central midfielders, with Thomas-Dunkerlouis playing on the “wings” and Warda in a free role, while Aleksic was advanced.
THE Panathinaikos on the other hand “went down” with eight changes, system 4-3-3 and Lodingin under the goalposts. Vaiannidis, Akaidin, Hugo and Juancar four in defense. Zeka, Vilena and Bernard were the three midfielders on the axis, with Palacios-Verbic on the wings and Sporar at the top of the attack.
The match:
Panathinaikos pressed high early on, took and circulated the ball well, trying to find a way to break – mainly from the right with Vagiannidis and Palasios – the defense of Panserraikos, who was waiting for him… firmly behind the cross.
Finally, the… solution for the “greens” came from a static phase, which began and was completed by Verbichin the 8′. With the Slovenian winger winning a corner from Staiko and scoring with turning head after Bernard’s executionmaking it 0-1!
With Panathinaikos having psychology and momentum in their favor, continued in the same patternat the time when the home team was forced to “unmask”, while in the 20th minute he missed the opportunity to make it 0-2…
When from the very beautiful combination of Bernard and Vilena, the latter entered the area from the right and shot from a diagonal position, sending the ball just wide of the goal.
The forced substitution of Diamantis by Panserraikos in the 25th minute varied Pablo Garcia’s plan, with his team continuing to attack from the right, targeting Huancar, but without a response.
Instead, in fact, he conceded a second goal, shortly after half-time, as the pressure and stealing the – until then top – Bernard the ball went to Palasios who beat Hovan with a nice spot in the four-four and scored the 0-2, in the 31st minute!
The Lions were undaunted by being two goals behind, they kept trying and even came close to reducing the score in the 45th minute, but Dunkerlois’ powerful shot rattled the crossbar Lodingin.
The second half started with Panserraikos playing Petavrakis at left back and Moreira going in for Ouedraogo, who was also substituted due to a problem.
To be followed by the “answer” from Fatih Terim, who, seeing that his team was not as pressing as in the first half, threw Kotsira into the match instead of Verbic in the 57th minute, putting him next to Zeka and Vilena.
In fact, two minutes later, he was the one who stole and attacked from the front, shooting with power, only to be saved by Hovan while in the process Palacios shot with one from a difficult angle, sending the ball out…
The continuation did not include any noteworthy phase while entering the final stretch the game turned into… Hovan-Panathinaikos, with the first “winner”.
As the home keeper saved both Vilena’s header and Bernard’s shot in the 74th minute. The result was the same in the four-four between Hovan and Bernard in the 82nd minute, while six minutes later it was Zeka’s turn to miss.
For Geremegev to finally come from the bench and confirm the… streak but also the special relationship he has with the opposing nets, after a shot by Mancini the ball collided with him, changed course and ended up in the net for the final 0- 3!
MVP: He may not have scored, however Bernard Duarte made a very good appearance, in total. The Brazilian midfielder gave the two assists to Verbics and Palasios, while he also had another final pass to Vilena, which went unused! At the same time, in the second half, he missed the opportunity to be anointed the same scorer, although he helped a lot in the circulation of the ball.
the “whistle”: In the 0-1 phase, referee Vergetis ruled that there is no foul by Akaidin on Ouedraogo, after the suggestion of Jelou by VAR. There was no other difficult phase in the match, with the Arka referee rightly making extensive use of his yellow card in the second half, as there were many unsportsmanlike markings. They were generally, close to the phases.
