Panathinaikos and Ghoul they came to a scoreless draw 2-2 in Leoforo, for the 23rd matchday of the Stoiximan Super League, after a game with… many emotions.
The “greens” had a goal in the 8th minute with Sporarsaw the Fthiotida team down to 10 players due to his suspension Martinez in 39′ and Carlitos to give her the lead in stoppage time in the first half, to equalize before the break with Bernard…
In fact, Panathinaikos managed to turn the game around, with the player coming off the bench Geremegev to give him the lead in the 59th minute. THE Tsiloulis tied the match in the 68th minute, missing a great chance to make it 2-3 in the 79th minute, as did Sporar in 94′, while o Kotsira he also had a goal in the fifth minute of extra time!
The “clover” showed a person we were not used topresenting frivolity in dealing with specific phases and situations in defense and attack, as a result of which he is obliged to a painful “giggle”.
Thus, Panathinaikos reached 51 points, moved into first place with more matches, while hosting Kifissia next Sunday (25/02). With the sixth Lamia rising to 34 points, having to welcome AEK a day earlier, the following matchday.
In the minds of the coaches:
THE Panathinaikos lined up with seven changes, in formation 4-3-3 and Dragovski under the goalposts. While Vaiannidis, Akaidin, Hugo and Juancar made up the quartet in defense. Ruben, Vilena and Bernard were the three of the axis, with Mancini-Verbic on the wings and Sporar at the top of the attack.
THE Ghoul on the other hand it “went down” with a system 4-3-3, Koselef in goal and Simon, Tzanetopoulos, Papadopoulos and Sidkley four at the back. Jandaris, Nunes and Slivka were the three central midfielders, with Martinez-Ciloulis playing on the wings and Carlitos in the center-forward role.
The match:
Panathinaikos entered the match with the classic recipe, pressing high on the opponent and moving the ball calmly to find the conditions to threaten.
Something that happened for the first time only in the 8th minute, after Mancini’s nice vertical pass to Sporar who shot from a difficult angle and to the right of the area, to send the ball to horizontal beam of Koselev!
Lamia had a hard time getting the ball, being forced to defend behind the ball and wait for a counter attack, but to no avail.
Verbic gave his place to Aitor only in the 14th minute, while misfortune knocked on the door of the “greens” again… With the second injury, of Huancar in the 23rd minute, forcing Terim to make a second forced change, de facto changing his left wing too!
As time went on, Panathinaikos lost its “clear” mind, with the actions of its players in the attacking third of the field taking place under a regime of sloppiness and… unnecessary pressure.
Even so, of course, he was the one who had a good moment with Aitor in the 26th minute, but also the missed opportunity three minutes later, from Akaidin’s header which went narrowly wide.
The visitors continued to defend strongly, they stayed fairly with ten players because of dismissal of Martinez for the “killer” tackle on Akaidin in the 39th minute, but they found those first goals…
In the first minute of delays, when Carlitos scored a goal… poemas he passed five opponents and placed in the opposite corner of Dragovski, he did it 0-1!
After all, the “clover” managed to answer and even immediately. At 45’+3′ in particular, after a full-time phase and Mancini “breaking” in the upcoming Bernardwho shot, the ball went against Núñez and ended up in Koselev’s goal, with 1-1 being the half-time score!
The second 45 minutes started with Panathinaikos to play with a 4-4-2 system now, as Geremegev had replaced Vilena at the break, and looking for the… quick 2-1. With the Swedish striker, in fact, missing a header in the 49th minute.
Before an hour of play was completed, Vokolos wanted to “answer” the opponent’s attacking duo, with one more stopperputting Cornezos instead of Carlitos, who was warmly applauded.
However, he reckoned… without him Geremegevwho, after Mancini’s pass to Vagiannidis and the latter’s turn towards the penalty spot, sent the ball into the net, reaching seven goals and making it 2-1 in the 59th minute!
Mladenovic and Mancini both wasted two shots that could have extended their team’s lead later, for the… cold shower on the part of Lamia in the 68th minute. When the Tsiloulis with a header at the far post from Tosic’s cross he leveled the match, taking advantage of Dragovski’s bad reaction!
Somewhere there, the hosts lost their minds, again, pushing hard for 3-2 but playing alongside with fills and quick passes, without managing to threaten their opponent. With the exception of one phase in the 73′ and Bernard’s powerful shot, which was impressively blocked by Koselev.
The Fthiotida team remained “spirited”, effectively closed the spaces and missed a great opportunity to “freeze” Leoforos in the 79th minute, as Tsiloulis sent the ball out from a position on the inside left…
Entering the final stretch of the match, Panathinaikos tried to reach the goal that would give them the lead again, but did so again “anarchically”.
With Aitor complaining about a penalty against him in the 88th minute, by Zandaris, Tzanetopoulos saving on the line Sporar’s place kick in the 94th minute and Kotsira’s shot from outside the area, in the very next phase to… jolts the horizontal beamwith the 2-2 standings
MVP: Daniel Mancini might not have scored but he was involved in both goals of his team. Giving the assist to the first and having the first pass to the second. Undoubtedly, as long as the Argentinian winger struggled, he troubled the opposing defense, with his departure not being “covered”.
the “whistle”: Many and sometimes… irritating the whistles of the referee Zambalas, who made mistakes in the disciplinary control but also had some “reverse” fouls. He was right to send Martinez off. it should hold even more delaysis not responsible, however, in any case, for the final result…
