Croatian whistle in the replay for the quarter-finals of the Cup between the PAOK and her AEK!

OR KED announced the referees for next week’s four games, with Croatian Igor Payac to be defined in the big match of Toumba, on Thursday night (09/01, 19:30). It should be noted that the 39 years old he is coming to our country for the first time to direct a game. It is 39 years old, UEFA Division A and he had recently whistled Djurgarden-Panathinaikos – with the “greens” having many complaints from his refereeing.

Greek past, apart from the “green” match in Sweden for Europa League, he has no managing only the National K17 team in two qualifying matches in March 2018 against Scotland (1-0 win) and Germany (3-0 loss).

Pajac’s assistants will be his compatriots Ivan Michali and Vedran Jurak (as in Panathinaikos’ game with Djurgarden) and in VAR will be our well-known Ivan Bebek. The fourth referee, moreover, will be Tsagarakis and AVAR o Koumbarakis. Observer, of course, as in all big games, will be the referee Stéphane Lanois. It should be noted that it happened a little while later a change in definitions of the match, with Koumbarakis being replaced by the also Croatian Mario Zebets as AVAR.

From then on, the Anastasios Papapetrou was designated in the game of Panathinaikos with Atromitos in OAKA, o Alexandros Tsakalides will whistle for Asteras AKTOR-Panionios, while the match between Panachaki and OFI will be directed by Angel Evangelou.
