Young man in Peristeri, OFI and a grade of six for the Cretans!

Boyish look for him OFI in Peristeri! The Cretans left with the degree of a tie (2-2) from his stadium Ατρομήτουfor the postponed match of the 22nd game of Super League 1, a result that put them in six.

With a two-goal lead (15 ‘Munith and 35 ‘Alibek) the active hosts went to the locker rooms. However, they dropped the pace in the second half, seeing the guests not only equalize (59 ‘Lambrou and 69 ‘Felipe’s penalty kick), but to endure despite the fact that they played with ten players from 78 ‘ (expulsion of Staikos) and with nine of 86 ‘ (departure due to injury for Toral, with Nikos Nioplias having completed his changes). Many complaints from Atromitos – among other things for a canceled goal by Koulouris at 90 ‘+ 3’-, who posted during the match.

In 6th place with 33 points but also two matches more than the 7th Asteras Tripolis (32b.) o OFI. At 13 points the penultimate Fearlesswho is at -4 from 12th Lamia (game more).

In the … minds of coaches:

THE Chris Coleman lined him up Fearless with the … classic British 4-4-2. At the end was Gianniotis, with four in defense from right to left Kivrakidis, Mavrommati, Chatziisaia and Tzovara. The corresponding in the midfield was threatened by Rotariou, Harisis, Erlingmark and Munith, while Koulouris and Alibek were the duo in the for.

With 5-4-1 his OFI Nikos Nioplias and Epassi under the beams. In the defense, from right to left, were Pasalidis, Vouros and Giannoulis, with Toral and Lambrou being at both ends of the midfield. Gaiegos and De Guzman were duo in the midfield, with Felipe starting at the top.

The match:

The match had no good moments at the beginning, with Atromitos being the first to threaten. In the 10 ‘ The Alibek found him with a wonderful vertical Bunby Also to put the “stop” in the four-on-four with the Greek forward. In the development of the phase, the OFI goalkeeper said “no” to his cross shot Rotary.

Finally, the hosts reached the quick goal, redeeming their good face in the first minutes. In the 15 ‘after a duration phase that started from high pressure, o Munith made the pass to the opponent area, passed him Giannouli with a great apron and then aptly created for it 1-0.

In the following minutes, the Cretans took the initiative of the movements (the occupation in their favor reached 62%). Without, however, being able to threaten with claims. While, at the same time they saw him De Guzman in the 23rd minute to go out of the field due to injury (with Staikos coming in his place).

To get to 35 ‘When the Alibek took advantage of the misunderstanding between them Βούρου and Pasaliditook the ball, pressed area and created for it 2-0. This was the final score for the first part, despite the 1-2 good moments that Chris Coleman’s team had afterwards (among them Rotary’s fake shot in 41 ‘), which went to the locker room with seven finals (the four on target) versus two (one on target) for OFI.

Nioplias with the start of the second half turned OFI’s system into 4-3-3 upon entry Durmisai instead of Pasalidis. Atromitos had the first good moment again with his four-on-four Rotary (after a terrible vertical by Koulouris) at 47 ‘with guests replying to 53 ‘ with his shooter Durmisai who opposed.

In the 59 ‘ OFI managed to reduce (2-1), when after a cross from the left, the Gianniotis proceeded to a wrong exit, with the ball leaving his hands (the hosts protested for a foul, however the Greek goalkeeper has found a teammate) and Λάμπρου to take advantage, to send it without pressure to the nets.

To bring the ultimate shock to the hosts at 67 ‘with Mr. Gortsila giving penalty for his hand Erlingmark after a foul. Very difficult phase, with the replay not giving a clear picture, but the VAR to come to agree with the decision of the Greek referee. The end of the sentences was undertaken by Felipewho sent the ball in the opposite direction from the one that fell Gianniotisequalizing in 2-2.

In the 78 ‘ the numerical equilibria changed, with Staiko to face the second yellow card leaving his team with ten. However, in 86 ‘ things became even more difficult -almost nightmarish- for OFI, when o Toral left due to injury. Nikos Nioplias had already completed his five changes, with his team continuing with nine players for the rest of the match.

In the minutes that followed, Atromitos had a great moment with him Bun (header blocked by Epassi in 88 ‘), scored with the same player in 90 ‘+ 2’ -with the goal being canceled for an offensive foul on Marinakis- while he also shouted for penalty at 90 ‘+ 5’ (without being justified by the replay). Finally nothing changed, with 2-2 remaining until the final whistle.

The whistle: There are many complaints from both teams, mainly from the home side. Let’s take them one by one. First in OFI’s first goal, there is no foul on Gianniotis, as the Greek keeper found more of his teammate (Mavrommatis), while the move of Felipe (who also finds Gianniotis) is perpendicular to the ground and not to his opponent. . The penalty phase for 2-2 is really very difficult – in relation to where in Erlingmark’s hand the ball has found – with the replay seeming to justify Mr. Gorilla’s decision.

In the delays, Koulouris’s goal was canceled for an offensive foul. The Greek puts an elbow on Marinakis’s shoulder, but the second one also seems to fall quite easily. While there was no penalty in hand that the Peristeriotes asked for Selimovic’s hand. OFI can protest against the dismissal of Staikos, as the 26-year-old midfielder did not even touch his opponent in the phase that received the second yellow card.

MVP: The distinction will go to the active Alibek. The newly acquired ace of Atromitos scored his second goal with Peristeriotes. Apart from the goal, he also had very nice balls on the field, while his replacement was done purely for tactical reasons.

The compositions of the two groups:

Fearless (Chris Coleman): Gianniotis – Kivrakidis, Mavrommatis, Chatziisaias, Tzovaras (69 ‘Casteliano) – Rotariou, Harisis (69’ Denic), Erlingmark, Munith – Alibek (63 ‘Klonaridis), Koulouris.
