The furious Panathinaikos pressed Apollo and four!

“Cleaned” Apollo and για left for four Panathinaikos! The “greens” prevailed 3-0 of Apollo in Rizoupoli and while they could have scored twice as many goals. In a postponed match and caught four.

Furioza after the appearance against Lamia, appeared the team of Jovanovic, which laid the foundations for victory, with penalties from Palace (Aitor won it) and Aitor (Ioannidis took it) to 13 ‘ and 17 ‘ respectively.

Until he scored his third goal, which was scored by Baxevanidis with own goal in the 87 ‘the “clover” wasted many opportunities to “lock” the double early.

In the minds of coaches

With a 4-3-3 system and the eleven that Panathinaikos had against Lamia. Under the beams for the second consecutive game, therefore, Dioudis, while the four Sanchez, Veleth, Senkefeld and Juankar were in defense. Roube, Gacinovic and Vigiafanies are the trio in the center, Palacios is on one “wing”, Aitor is on the other. At the top is Ioannidis.

Apollon with 4-2-3-1. Verhulst under the beams. Baxevanidis was on the right, Jakimovski on the left and Dominguez-Rognne in the center of defense. Simbsach and Castro in the midfield, while Tsiloulis was on the right “wing”, Martines on the left and Slivka in the role of a ten, with Signiewicz playing at the top.

In the match

After a reconnaissance start, Panathinaikos, which was expected to take the initiative, started to “warm up”. With Apollon Smyrnis in a passive role. After Gacinovic could not complete his individual effort in the 7th minute, the first good moment for Panathinaikos with a phase suspicion occurred in the 10th minute. Palacios, who was active again from the beginning, crossed from the right, but somewhat stronger than Ioannidis would have liked, with the result that the ball went out.

In the 13th minute, the way was opened to the victory for the “clover”. Baxevanidis tried hard to stop Aitor in the cross of Sanchez and Palacios from the white ball, defeated Verhulst, who chose his left corner correctly, found the ball a little and it ended up in the net. Shortly after, Panathinaikos won a new penalty.

Sanchez made a side and found Ioannidis, who received an illegal marking from Castro and Aitor with an impeccable penalty kick, in the sky of the nets, defeated Verholst.

Apollon threatened for the first time in the 20th minute, with Senkefeld and Vigiafanies “extinguishing” Tsiloulis’s cross. Until the delays, Apollo did not manage to press with demands in the opponent’s area. On the contrary, Panathinaikos had two great opportunities. Aitor made a ball for Gacinovic, who emptied Dominguez to make sure of the goal, but could not catch a full shot with the left and Verhulst blocked (32 ‘). Four minutes later, Aitor put the “greens” in front again, pressed for Ioannidis, who saw the Belgian block his shot. Good, but unfinished phase in the second half for Apollon, with Martines holding the ball with his toenails and feet, while then Signjevic could not execute.

A similar development, but not with the same result, at the beginning of the second part. After a relatively quiet start, Panathinaikos took the lead, with Juankar crossing nicely and Gacinovic sending the ball a little out with a header in 53 ‘. Then, after a dead period, the “clover” had the phases to whistle the expiration earlier.

Palacios could not beat Verhulst in 62 ‘, while he had two great opportunities in the second half. Equally large. Initially, the projection of Ioannidis close to 76 ‘after an excellent effort by Hatzigiovanis and then against 4vs2. Carlitos shared for Aitor, who turned for Hatzigiovanis, who made a lukewarm shot from the height of the penalty (79 ‘).

One of the few good moments of Apollo happened a minute ago, with Pamlidis bothering Sanchez even if he fails. After Panathinaikos did not finish the game earlier, Apollon started to believe it and in 81 ‘lost a terrible opportunity. Dowda’s shot from the height of the penalty was weak and Dioudis blocked. They were judged final in 87 ‘, as what Baxevanidis’s players did not do for a long time, Baxevanidis did unintentionally. Aitor turned from the left and Apollo’s back sent the ball into the net. The “greens” almost made a frame, but Hatzigiovanis missed from a shooting position with the left. That was the end of the match.

MVP: Aitor did everything and it lasted. He won the first penalty of Panathinaikos, he scored the second penalty and he is also involved in 0-3, as he makes the turn in Baxevanidis’s own goal. He also made the most of his phases. Gacinovic’s opportunity in the 32nd minute and gives a ready goal to Ioannidis four minutes later. He gives a ready goal in 79 ‘to Hatzigiovanis. He could have finished the game with three assists, but his teammates deprived him of them.

Whistle: The game has only two penalties in the refereeing part. Nothing else. In the first, Baxevanidis makes a carat to Aitor, who is ready to threaten Sanchez’s cross and the Apollon player blocks him in an irregular manner. In the second, Castro goes helplessly to Ioannidis, who falls down.
