The ball sat in the middle of the Tripoli rodeo!

Niki is missing in Tripoli for Asteras AKTORvictory is ignored for him Leviathan in season! In an amazing game, the two teams searched with… fury for victory but ended up staying at 1-1.

Terrible o Papadopoulos who caught his penalty Gianniota in the second half, big lost phases for the home team to win!

At 6 points the Arcades, who got their last home win exactly eight months ago, while the Boeotians reached 4 but they do not have three points so far in the league!

In the coach’s mind

Claude Makelele lined up Asteras AKTOR with 4-2-3-1. Papadopoulos in goal and Alho, Alagbe, Deli, Alvares in defense. Yablonski, Mumo in the midfield, Kaltsas, Hukhumis in the wings and Regis were moving behind the only promoted Adam.

Same arrangement from Nikos Papadopoulos for Levadeiakos. Garavelis in goal and Tsapras, Liagas, Papadopoulos, Moreira in the defensive four. On the axis Plegas, Mechia, ten Baltsi and on the wings Gianniotas, Romo. At the top of the attack was Zini.

The match

In the first five minutes, the two teams were trying to find their footing, with Leviathan to have luck on his side and score the first time he stepped into the area. Specifically, just in the 8th minute o Gianniotas did the shoot, o Balji went to do finals and Alagbe he saw the ball hit him, change course and end up in his net Papadopoulos for 1-0. The visitors from the goal onwards were in control and moving the ball around nicely, trying to find spaces and threaten for a second goal.

However, after half an hour, Arcades started to become threatening and had several visits to the opposition frames. The pressure finally brought the equaliser. So in the 43rd minute, Star managed to write the 1-1, with Sock to catch a header from a difficult angle after his cross Huhumi. Even the referee’s whistle didn’t change anything and so the two teams went to the locker room tied.

Unlike the first part, the second part had an explosive pace reminiscent of championships of… advanced countries! Asteras entered with a knife in the teeth, he made one phase after another with the biggest of all Sock in the 53rd minute. In the very next minute, the home team won a penalty for his fall Mumo after a duel with Moreira. After an on field review, however, the referee took back his decision!

The game had become a rodeo, the ball was going up and down and in the 59th minute Papadopoulos with an incredible operation he removed the nailed head of Kyriakos Papadopoulos! And in the very next minute, the Delhi in an attempt to block his shot Chaprahe waved and the referee needed on field review again to correct his original decision. THE Gianniotas took over the execution, but missed the chance to give Levadeiakos the lead again, after the Arkades keeper “fished” him and put it into his right corner, keeping the score at 1-1.

From then on, the game was on fire, with one phase succeeding the other from both sides. In the 71st minute, Asteras had a huge opportunity to make it 2-1, when o Bartolo he had an incredible race, came in from the left but turned harder than he should have on the unmarked Adam which he did not manage to perform and while he was all alone!

Four minutes later the Levadian he had his own chance. After his mistake Huhumio Gianniotas entered the area but when he went to shoot, o Delhi he made a great stop! In the 88th Claude Makelele saw him Nikos Papadopoulos to come out with discomfort in the calf and the Panagiotis Tsintotas to take his place and make his debut. Nothing changed until the final whistle of the referee and thus both teams got one point each.

MVP: THE Nikos Papadopoulos with two terrible interventions he kept the score at 1-1. In the 58th minute, Kyriakos Papadopoulos’ header made an impressive save, while three minutes later he saved Yaniotas’ penalty.

The whistle: THE Tsakalides he had a difficult game and had to be called twice to change his initial decisions, which were wrong. First, he gives a penalty in favor of the Arkadians when Mumo falls but there doesn’t seem to be contact with Moreira and he corrects it, and then he doesn’t show a bullet to Deli’s hand, but he corrects it via on field review! It’s also a mistake that he doesn’t “yellow” Adam in the first part in the elbow he throws at Liagas.
