THE Panathinaikos came a draw 1-1 with her Borats at the “Gradsky Stadium”, for the 1st matchday of his League Phase Conference Leaguein one evil for him result.
The “clover” opened the scoring just in the 11th minute, with Bakasetamade other phases to score, but the miss of Sporar and the beam of Tete in the 72nd minute, they didn’t allow it!
As if that wasn’t enough, in fact, he saw the Bosnian champions equalize by scoring a quick second-half goal with the unmarked Despotovich at 50′ and that’s it it cuts him two valuable points on the road to qualification…
Panathinaikos now welcomes her Chelsea for the 2nd matchday at OAKA, on October 24while next Sunday the Olympic.
In the minds of the coaches:
OR Porats lined up with a system 4-2-3-1Siskowski in goal and Kvrzic, Megers, Karolina and Herrera four at the back. Ogrinec-Skorup were the two “cutters”, while Kuloslin, Savic and Sretkovic fought behind the promoted Despotovic.
THE Panathinaikos on the other hand, he also “came down” in formation 4-2-3-1 and Dragovski under the goalposts, while Kotsiras, Ingason, Schenkefeld and Mladenovic were the four of the defense. Maksimovic and Cerin were the two of the axis, with Pellistri-Djuricic on the wings and Bacacetta behind Sporar, who formed the center forward.
The match:
He found the start of the match Panathinaikos to have possession and to look for a way to break the well-organized defense of his opponent and Borats to wait for himhaving her lines nearby.
The “clover” tried to attack from both ends, managing to find a quick goal from his left side and the beautiful collaboration of Sporar, Djuricic and Mladenovic.
As from the latter’s cross, the upcoming Bakasetaswith great shot on the movemade it 0-1 in the 10th minute!
Yes, in the very next minute Sporar wasted a great chance for 0-2after a very nice cross by Bacacetta, with his shot stopping at Siskowski’s feet…
The home side tried to equalize through some mostly long range shots. They made their presence felt in Dragovski’s box for the first time in the 21st minute, with Kulasin missing from inside right.
And, five minutes later, it was Despotovic’s turn to threaten, his direct free-kick going over the crossbar, with his team anyway to take measures on the field.
Entering the final stretch of the first 45 minutes, Panathinaikos had two more good moments to double their goals.
First in 39′, with another nice collaboration from the left and Skorup puts it in “stop” in Bakaseta’s dangerous turn. While three minutes later, in full-time, where there was also a check through VAR for hand-penaltywith the successive shots of Maksimović, Pelistri and Bakaseta not ending up in the net.
Boracay responded in kind at the start of the second halfas she came in very strongly and taking advantage of her opponent’s slump, she equalized immediately. When, from a Herrera free kick from the left, Despotovic made it 1-1 with an “elusive” headerin the 50th minute!
While, two minutes later, from a steal on the counterattack, the ball reaches the left to Herrera who shoots, for for Dragovski to make an impressive save in the corner.
After the “difficult” period passed, the “greens” rose gradually and missed a huge opportunity to take the lead again in the 62nd minute. When Bakasetas worked well with Djuricic inside the area, the latter played the ball to Sporar who although unmarked in the area, he misplaced.
This was followed by changes and “freshening” of the 11 by Alonso and as time passed, Panathinaikos continued to press and look for the 1-2. However, he was also unlucky, as Tete’s powerful volley outside the area, in the 72nd minute, stop at the beam!
To follow Mladenovic’s good moment in the 85th minute, which went untapped, as well as the new lost opportunity in stoppage time with Ioannidis’ header, which went just wide and “sealed” the 1-1 for the two teams.
MVP: Bakasetas returned to good performancesachieving his team’s goal as well. At the same time, the captain of Panathinaikos was also involved in other phases for goals, with his good transfers. Changed at the end, for tactical reasons.
the “whistle”: Many bad decisions from Masiyevas it seems that in the equalizing phase there is no foul. For the hand-penalty requested by the “greens” in the 43rd minute, it was examined by VAR, while given the facts, the Azeri referee should have sent off Kulasin in the 82nd minute for the unsportsmanlike marking on Mladenovic! Hold on, don’t you, very few minutes late…
