AEK and Levadeiakos faced off at the “OPAP Arena” for the 16th and last matchday of 2024 Stoiximan Super League.
Union managed to equalize at 1-1 at 90+4′ thanks to his goal Gerasimos Mitoglousaving the score of the tie in the final. Of course, this goal according to Paolo Valeri it shouldn’t have counted because the “yellow and black” defender committed a foul just before scoring.
Today, January 2 Levadian with his announcement he strongly reacted to the non-punishment of the referees and demanded answers from him Paolo Valeristressing that these two lost points in New Philadelphia may decide even the division for the Livadia team.
Levadeakou’s announcement in detail:
“In the last days of 2024 we heard Mr. Paolo Valeri, to state that the goal that our team conceded in the match against AEK in the 94′ was invalid and that it was wrongly counted, as a result of which our team was deprived of 2 valuable points.
So we would like Mr. Valeri to inform you, if you don’t know, that in the division we compete in, apart from the Champion and the teams that go to Europe, the last two teams in the standings are relegated.
The difference, between one category and the other, both financially and organizationally, is chaotic, since the income is in a ratio of 1/200!
Staying in the category is judged by 1 point or even a tie many times. So, we hope that these 2 points that our team was deprived of, by the decision of the Referee, Mr. Tsakalides, and the VAR Referee, Mr. Vergetis, will not be decisive for their stay in the category.
We are in the first days of the new year and while we hoped that after a year, there would be repercussions for the referees and not just consequences for our team after this unacceptable refereeing, we are very surprised to see you re-appoint referee Mr. Tsakalides and referee Mr. Vergeti.
In our country it is customary, as we believe in your country, for decisive and obvious mistakes to be punished and not rewarded.
So what are the implications for these referees, after such a serious mistake, as you yourself have admitted, to count a goal that should not count consistently to alter the result? Are they set again in the very next matchday?
Mr. Valeri, we are waiting for your answer, if you have difficulty in Greek, even in your mother tongue”.
