In a derby full of tension, hard marks and many “whistles”, Olympiacos managed to save the lot on Avenue, with El Kabi in the 90 ‘+2’ to equal the goal the goal scored by Dessers at 48 ‘by depriving the ‘Greens’ the opportunity to… break the pomegranate to Stoiximan Super League after four races.
Good picture for Panathinaikos players In the first partbut fatigue and… Pontensewhich changed the flow of the match with its entrance, shaped the end result. Many missed opportunities for Jose Luis Mentilibar’s teamwhich for another game scores in the last five minutes and “saves” the lot, while Panathinaikos again concedes a goal in the final line of the match.
In his premiere at Europa League League Phase The people of Panathinaikos are now focused on Jung Boys in Bern, a Cup match against Asteras Aktor follows for Olympiacos.
In the minds of coaches:
With 4-2-3-1 lined up Christos Kontis Panathinaikos. Dragovsky was in Estonia, with Kalambria, Palmer-Brown, Tuba and Kyriakopoulos in the defense. The trinity of the axis, while the Trinity of the Axis was at the top of the attack.
Surprises and 4-2-3-1 by Jose Luis Mendilibar for Olympiacos. Tzolakis in Estia and Kostina, Retsos, Pirola, Ortega in the four -way defense. The Sipion started for the first time and on his side was Mouzakitis, while Nackedo fought in front of them at “10”. At one end of the attack Strafitsa, in the other Cambella and at the top El Kabi.
The match:
The start of the derby found Panathinaikos, having the first intercepts on the pitch and trying to surprise his opponent in order to put him difficult from the beginning and to change his plan. Panathinaikos’ first “visit” to Tzolaki’s frames came to 3 ‘ with Cherry and Juricic Combined from the left, the Serb made the shoot, but Tzolakis, in time, was out of the way to Dessers and blocked.
The first period of the match had a lot of tension, a lot of marks and even more holidays, with Aitkinto whistle constantly and not let the ball … roll.
Olympiacos’ team was slowly taking action on the pitch, with Lorenzo Sipion everywhere and ideally “fastening” with the Mouzakitis who had taken over the organizational part.
In the 17th Panathinaikos had a good time. Juricic from the left, passed the cost, made the shoot, Tzolakis kicked off, his shot then counted, but the referee ended with the phase, as Juricic was exposed at the beginning.
The derby pattern also was in this Avenue match, as the markings and many duels, at every part of the stadium, were dominated. In one of them, in the 32nd, Sipion was on the ground, having turned his foot in an effort to claim the ball, but after his medical aid he received, he continued and continued the match, relieving Mendilibar and his associates.
In the 36th, Dragovsky was missing to become … fatal for Panathinaikos. In an unsuspecting phase, the Polish goalkeeper accepted the pressing, with Cambella closing his pass to the right, El Kabi pushing him and the Panathinaikos goalkeeper making a pretense and jerking a corner kick.
Panathinaikos was not particularly threatening, nor when Dessers took the ball in the area and made a fucking place, while in the 45 ‘the last moment of the first half for Olympiacos was not recorded, as El Kabi was exposed to the moment when he was 0.
Shortly before the second half there was a brief conflict between George Tzavella and Kostas Karapapas, which ended with the intervention of the colder and the match began normally. The two coaches chose to maintain the players with whom they started the derby.
After three minutes in the repetition, Panathinaikos’ first good final came, which also changed the derby data. Retsos took the ball and chose to play a parallel game, with the ball reaching Bakassetta, who made the control, passed perpendicular to the area of ​​Dessers, who won Tzolakis in the tet-a-tet with a place and opened the scoring “fire” on the avenue.
Panathinaikos’ goal, given the footage of the furious Mendilibar, who asked his players not to hesitate to take action on the pitch. In the 51 ‘the Piraeus people missed a great opportunity to equalize immediately, with Strafitsa crossing the second beam, El Kabi made the head, but the ball went out.
Mendilibar immediately made the move … Matt, throwing Daniel Pontense in the game, instead of Nackedo with the image of Olympiacos completely changing for the better. In the 58th, the Portuguese in his first contact with the ball was a little bit of an assist, after stole the ball in the center, he took a vertical to El Kabi, who in the tet-a-tete with Dragowski failed.
The visitors continued to have the lion’s share and push Panathinaikos and in the 61 ‘another great opportunity came. Pontense saw a stadium and lifted up for Strafitsa, heading with his head to the upcoming El Kabi, who made control, made a one -piece shot, but Dragovsky made a great intervention.
Kontis and Mendilibar, they made the necessary moves to refresh their teams with the interest being transferred to the … benches and a lot of tactics that entered the match. Panathinaikos managed in favor of the score, while Olympiacos’ moves were more jerk and disciplined.
In the 81st the home side was a little missing goals in a unlikely way when they won a foul from the left with Renato performing directly from a difficult position, with Tzolakis rejecting.
The minutes were rolling with Olympiacos now attacking, even if the equalizer goal. In the 90 ‘came the … warning for Piraeus. Pontense played vertically, a heel came to Tsikinio, a Portuguese shoot in El Kabi, who preceded a vacuum, touched on Tuba’s feet.
However, in the second minute of the delays came the redemption for the Mendilibar team. Siopis took Pontense in … hunting, at the right time he passed to Tarami, he broke in El Kabi on the left of the area and the Moroccan with a flawless place equalized in the final 1-1!
MVP: El Kabi could have been because of the golden goal, but Pontense is the real derby MVP. The Portuguese came in and changed the image of Olympiacos, constantly creating dangerous moments for the opposing defense, which he exposed in many cases.
The “whistle”: Aitkin made a mediocre match on Avenue with several vacations and whistles, constantly interrupting the pace. In the first half the visitors protested a penalty shoot -out, but he cut off the conversation.
