Destruction in Patras: A Panachaiki player was sent off, but the Patrons continued with 11 while… Kifisia’s goal was disallowed!

An incredible incident unfolded shortly before the completion of 90 minutes of the game in the match between Panachaic and her Kifissia in Patras, in the second game between them for the round of 16 phase of the Betsson Greek Cup.

Specifically, in the 86th minute of the match and with the score at 1-0 in favor of the home team, the Castegiano was sent off with a second card, at the time when Panachaiki wanted to make two changes. One was by Castegiano, with the result that it was never completed, except for that one the change of Poletowho gave way to Petratos.

Nevertheless, Poleto seems to have been confused as well did not leave the field of playwhile his replacement, Petratos, played normally on the field! The referee of the match, Spyros Zambalas, but also his assistants, did not understand what had happened, as a result of which Panachaiki played with eleven players instead of the red one that they saw earlier!

In the development of the phase, the visitors, who had won a foul, found the way to the net with the end of Manalis, which however disallowed for offside after the helper’s suggestion.

Amid protests from the Kifissia players and bench, the referees realized that Poleto had never left the field (!) and that the Achaia team defended in this particular phase with eleven players!

Surreal moments followed on the Agia stadium, with Zambalas eventually expels Poleto as well with a second yellow card for his attitude of not leaving the pitch after a few minutes of stoppage until the situation is cleared up!

However, the whole confusion may have been caused by the fact that in bright board of the changes on one side did not show the player’s number, since the lights were not working, with Poleto he probably did not understand at all that he had to go outside the playing area.
