He committed suicide in Tripoli Star and it continues in the playouts! The Arkades were hurt for another match by their many defensive gaps, they conceded three goals from set pieces and the final 3-3 opposite to Kifissiahe also sends mathematics to her Ghoul in the playoffs for the first time in its history!
Great point for the Northern Suburbs side in their battle for survival, with the home side protesting his decisions Manuchou both at 1-0 (which came with a penalty) and at 3-3 (for Ozegovic’s offside).
The last match of the Arkads in Serres is of a procedural nature, with Kifisia welcoming Panaitolikos in a six-point game!
In the coach’s mind
With 4-2-3-1, Asteras Tripoli was played by Milan Rastavac. Tsiftsis at home and Lyratzis, Kastanio, Djukanovic, Houhoumis in the defensive four. Goss, Yablonski in the axis, with Kalca, Bartolo, Regis in the midfield trio and Miritello at the top of the attack.
Same arrangement for Kifissia by Costa Bratsos. Anagnostopoulos in goal and Gobelic, Teixeira, Vafeas, Milicevic in defense. Canadzia, Jovancic the duo in midfield, with Crisiouma, Menendes, Bifuma in front of them. Ozegovic was the only forward.
The match
He was better Star overall in the first half, being in control and threatening more. Kifisia in the 13th minute won a penalty, when after a deep ball, o Crisis then there was a duel with Tsiftsis and Manouchos showed the white arrow. The truth is that it was not clear if there was contact between the two… A minute later Ozegovic beat the Greek keeper to make it 1-0. The hosts were not particularly deterred by the visitors’ quick lead, with Blueberry in the 16′ to make the move in the move after a terrible one two with him Bartolo, but Anagnostopoulos expelled. In the 21st minute, Miritelo threatened again with a close shot, but the Kifissia keeper again pushed it away.
In the 32nd minute, Asteras managed to equalize when o Bartolo crossed from the left, Miritello pressed hard and with a nice nailed header sent the ball into the net for 1-1. THE Gosh in 34′ he caught a great shot, but the ball went just wide and Arcades had the momentum. But…
THE Kifissia took the lead again in the 36th minute when, following a corner kick, Tsiftsis fired but Jovancic he pushed the ball into the net for 2-1. The pace was very good and the Arkades were pushing for the equaliser. As it happened in the 40th minute, when after a corner, Miritello made a header pass and Yablonsky scored with a close header to make it 2-2. And a little later, the breakthrough goal came, before the half-time even came out, after an excellent counter-attack, Kaltsas took out Regis and he scored perfectly for 3-2.
Kifissia entered the second half better, keeping the ball at their feet, with Costa Bratsou’s side trying to find spaces in the opposition boxes to threaten. In the 52nd minute, Asteras had a great chance, when after a turnover Bartolo and bad removal of Vapheus, o You’re wearing socks he caught a great volley from inside the area but Anagnostopoulos didn’t just take it out, he even blocked the ball!
In the 61st minute, it was Kifisia’s turn to threaten, when o Bifuma he went solo against Tsiftsis, but was beaten by the Greek keeper in the 4-a-4. Shortly after, Crisis he took the shot from outside the area that went just wide. The minutes ticked by, the home team didn’t keep the ball and were penalized. Because in the 71st minute, the visitors won a corner, with Vafeas scoring for 3-3. The goal was initially disallowed, but after VAR review it counted as normal. The question is, however, what exactly was checked, since in the replay the lines had gone in at the start of the phase, but the assistant had raised the flag as the Ozegovic he was exposed and might be affecting his field of vision Tsiftsiwith the goal finally counting for 3-3!
The minutes passed, time was suffocating Asteras who only needed the victory, while on the other hand Kifisia did not leave spaces and left on the counterattacks. The Arcades fought it, they had a great chance with him Lyratzi but also a phase that holds a lot of discussion, since the Mantzis was in a firing position and Manouhos didn’t let him finish it, turning the phase back for a foul outside the area. Somehow and despite the extra four minutes being too short, nothing changed until the final whistle. The score is damning for him Star who kicked his last chance for the top six, with Kifisia getting an important point in the battle for survival.
MVP: THE Solo he came on at half-time and helped his team win the battle of the center, resulting in Kifissia gaining progressive meters on the pitch and eventually equalizing and leaving Tripoli with a great point.
The whistle: THE Manouhos he had a bad match and collected many complaints about his decisions. Perhaps rightly so! First, the penalty for Lamia’s 1-0 win is subject to a lot of discussion since it is not clear if Tsiftsi made contact with Krisiouma. Also, at 3-3 with the visitors, Ozegovic being exposed may be affecting Tsiftsi’s field of vision, but even though the assistant raised the flag, VAR counted the goal and even seemed to check the start of the phase and not the end! Tragic decision in the 85′ not to let Mandzis execute from inside the area and turn the phase back, while the extra four minutes of stoppage time was very short!
