His “star”. Pablo Garcia started to shine early on in Peristeri as well, with Atromitos taking their second consecutive win of the season as they prevailed 4-2 of Lamia, at the same time playing very nice football at times.
The players of “Asterio” were very quick on the counterattack, they took advantage of every gap in the visitors’ defense and even though they lost the Carlitos with injury, they reached a very easy victory.
On the other hand, Satsia’s team had some good moments in the match, but they were very limited and in no case were they enough to offer strong resistance to Atromitos.
In the… minds of the coaches:
The two coaches kept the core of their teams unchanged and did not make many changes compared to the previous matches.
Pablo García gave a starting shirt to Harry Tsingarawho competed for the first time in the basic eleven of Atromitos. “Asteri” started with the classic 4-2-3-1 and Houtesiotis under the posts. Kini on the right end of the defense, Athanasiou on the left with Brosson and Mansour making up the defensive duo. Ouedraogo and Tsingaras in front of them, Baku on the right wing of the attack, Warda on the left and Jubitana behind Carlitos.
THE Marinos Satsias lined up Lamia with 3-4-2-1 and Kostic under the posts. Sandberg, Cornezos and Andrade made up the trio at stoppers, with Radonia taking the right side and Ring the left side. Giannoutsos and Nunes are the duo in midfield, with Mekic and Furtado moving behind Vlachomitros.
The match:
They didn’t quite manage to fill up 5 minutes in the match and Carlitos’ class made its appearance. The Spanish striker took the ball inside the big area and, being alone with 5 Lamia players, scored! After an amazing solo and carry alongside Kostic’s goal, he shot and opened the scoring against his former club.
Atromitos then tried to take advantage of the momentum and the psychology in their favor due to the quick goal, created some conditions but no chances. The first good moment in the match after the goal came in the 30th minute, when the Atromitos players changed the ball very quickly, came out exemplary on the counter and after a pass from Carlitos, Jubitana missed a huge chance to double his team’s tally as he was beaten by Kostic on 4-a-4.
In the 39th minute, the scorer of Atromitos left the field due to a muscle problem, with Van Fert taking his place. And as if that wasn’t enough wounding of his until then best player, Atromitos suffered and second shock. In the 40th minute, after a beautiful cross by Nunes, o Rants equalized with a header, with the two teams going into the locker room tied.
As it happened in the first part, so in the second part, the home team achieved complete surprise. In the 50′, o Baku gave his team the lead again, scoring in front of an empty net after a parallel turn Ward.
From there, the match turned into a performance for a role. Atromitos was stealing the ball and leaving very quickly on the counter attack, with Lamia having very slow returns and the goal looking like it would surely come. Finally, in the 70’s Van Fert in a counter attack he made it 3-1, after his nice cross Utraego. 4-1 came a few minutes later. Marinos Satsias was constantly looking for a way to turn the situation around, he even changed the formation, playing with four in defensehowever the image remained unchanged. Ward gave to Athanasiouhe shot, with the ball countering and ending up in the net. The only thing that Lamia managed was to reduce, as after a terrible intervention in the first half, Houtesiotis was unlucky, the ball left his hands and ended up in his goal.
Atromitos now turns to the match cup with him Lavadeiaco and then he goes to “Georgios Karaiskakis” to test his strength against Olympiakos. Lamia, on the other hand, will be hosted by Kifissia for the cup, while the next matchday will welcome him Panseraicin a very pivotal match.
MVP:
If he had not left the match so early, he would undoubtedly have been Carlitos. THE Utraego he was very good with lots of runs and vertical play. Up close, Warda and Athanasiou, with good options in the last third of the field.
The “whistle”:
THE Tsimenteridis he had an easy task in Peristeri, as he did not have to manage any difficult phase, nor hard markings. Indicative that he only gave two yellow cards in the match.
