With a goal by Perez and another by Mladenovic in the 95′, Panathinaikos defeated Atromitos 2-0 and advanced to the semi-finals, where they will face PAOK.
He reacted like Panathinaikos and qualified! With a 2-0 victory and a 2-1 upset of the first quarter-final of “Apostolos Nikolaidis”, they eliminated Atromitos and will face PAOK in the semi-finals of the Cup.
A completely fair qualification, since overall in the pair’s two matches, he was better, had many clear opportunities and Panathinaikos he almost paid for his failure.
Despite two consecutive defeats and the risk of elimination, Trifylli completely dominated the field of the Peristeri Municipal Stadium. The “greens” of Terim showed ego, won the duels and dominated in every measure. This time they were more focused and careful in defense and did not allow counter-attacks. It is characteristic that Dragovski did not have to intervene at all throughout.
THE Fearless he seemed to have only a defensive plan and which offensive plan, he did not find a way to implement. Sasha Ilic had no answers to Fatih Terim’s tactics and the Peristeri team was justly eliminated. He looked like he was just waiting for time to pass to get to the penalty spot, but he was penalized on one of his chances Panathinaikou.
The first half had a similar development to the previous match. THE Panathinaikos was in control and Fearless defended massively. The “greens” could not easily step into Tsintonda’s area and needed a static phase to take the lead in the 35th minute. The scorer was Ruben Perez with a straight shot, after a header-pass by Akaidin.
In the second half, the Greens missed classic opportunities with Bakasheta, Palacios and Geremegev, saw one of the Swede’s goals ruled out for offside and a penalty when Palacios was tipped over by Tsintoda disallowed for the same reason. There everything pointed to extra time, in the sixth minute of stoppage time, Bernard with a “hanging” cross found Mladenovic and he with a “hanging” header, scored an impressive goal and gave Trefoil the qualification!
Ο MVP
Samet Akaidin. He “lays” the ball with a header-pass to Ruben for 1-0, but he was the absolute master in the air in defense and attack. He won headers, neutralized Andielski and cut every ball to him. He kept going up with the ball.
WHERE JUDGED
In Mladenovic’s goal. Essentially, the Serb scored 0-2 in stoppage time and left no room for Atromitos to react. In addition, he made a performance that points to a great striker.
THE BATTLE OF THE BENCHES
Whatever plan Sasha Ilyich had for counterattacks, he did not see it implemented. He did not find the premises of Leoforos and fatally o Fearless was reduced to a passive role. Fatih Terim had a tactic that gave him dominance Panathinaikosthe goals came at the right places and he didn’t change his plan at all.

- 90′ Fridjonsson in place of Kunde
- 90′ Djuricic replaces Geremegev
- 86′ Erlingmark in place of Ender Gonzalez and Pomonis in place of Kivrakidis

- 84′ Pereth cut in front of Athanasios
- Check out Cherin’s big chance
- 80′ Geremegev called for a penalty. There appeared to be a pull, but Evangelou was not called on VAR

- 67′ Robay replaces Vrakas
- 66′ Mladenovic, moved away before De Bock. In the development of Kunde’s shot, he went wide

- Offside after all. The goal doesn’t count. He was a meter behind the defense
- Perez’s pass, Bernard’s new slash, Geremegev, impressively placed in the left window for 2-0. But the Swedish forward looks exposed
- 62′ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOize PAO!

- Panathinaikos’ description of Bakaseta’s chance

— Panathinaikos FC (@paofc_) January 31, 2024
- 57′ Bakaseta’s shot from the height of the penalty, the ball went high out.
BABIS Tsimpidas: Panathinaikos must get more from Bernard, Palasios and Bakaseta. He has received very little from the three midfielders and Geremeev has neither support nor passes.
- 53′ A marking by Tsakmakis on Pereth was checked, VAR and Evangelou decided to continue the match.
- Crosses in the second half
- Look at Bakaseta’s chance
- Watch Perez’s goal
BABIS Tsimpidas: Panathinaikos must maintain the same composure in the second half. And not to relax in defense, nor to extort the second goal. Everything will come as long as he pays attention and continues to control the pace.
- END OF HALF TIME. Atromitos – Panathinaikos 0-1 with Perez’s goal from the 35th minute.
- 45’+1′ Great opportunity for PAO. Bakashetta’s corner, Akaidin’s header just over the crossbar.
BABIS Tsimpidas: The truth is that Panathinaikos had the upper hand, but without substance. With a stalemate, it was the only way the goal would come. Ruben scores 0-1 and now everything is level. The Terim team must look for a second goal, with more caution now.
- 39′ PAO has a chance. Mladenovic’s turn, right-footed Bakaseta’s shot at the height of the small area went wide
- From 12/7/20 Ruben Perez had to score in the match Leganies – Valencia 1-0!
- From the Panathinaikos corner kick, the ball did not go away from the defense, Akaidin headed Perez and he sent the ball into the right corner with a right shot inside the area for 1-0.
- 35′ GOOOOLLLLLLLLL PAO
- Pictures from the match
- 34′ Bernard’s corner, Kotsira’s header, the ball did not reach the goal post and then the Panathinaikos full back committed an offensive foul
- 32′ Bakaseta’s header goes wide
- 28′ Great opportunity for Atromitos. Andzielski at the height of the penalty shot and the ball stopped to his teammate Vrakas, who was in an offside position!
- PAO’s opportunity with Perez
BABIS Tsimpidas: It’s not just the attacking midfielders. Kotsiras and Mladenovic step up, reach outside the area, have the comfort to cross well and their crosses are very bad. They don’t even make it to the penalty shootout, not to find a teammate.
- 20′ Bakaseta’s shot 2-3 meters outside the area, the ball went hopelessly wide
- The Ilyich-Terim handshake
- 16′ Kivrakidis’ long shot went wide
BABIS Tsimpidas: For another game, the controls of the Panathinaikos players near the area of Tsintotas are disappointing. Bad touches, bad passes and no proper action.
- Foul by Bakasetas, Perez’s header went past the left post!
- 1′ Andrzejski fell to the ground and shouted for a penalty, but it found Palacios’ foot
- Crosses in the match
- Referee: Angelos Evangelou. Assistants Kostaras and Dimitriadis. Fourth is Tsagarakis. Zabalas and Konstantinou in VAR.
BABIS TSIMBIDAS: Arao and Mancini have overworked themselves and were at risk of muscle injury, so Terim dropped them from the 20-man squad. For competitive reasons, Aitor was left out of the plans, who had a negative performance in Toumba against PAOK.
- On the Panathinaikos bench are Lodingin, Schenkefeld, Zeka, Limnios, Getnvai, Fikai, Djuricits, Vilena, Kyriopoulos.
- On the bench of Atromitos Dimos, Pomoni, Karamanis, Fridjonson, Erlingmark, Dirks, Vergos, Robai, Trimmatis.
BABIS Tsimpidas: Good evening. Fatih Terim insists on Dragovski in goal and Vitor Hugo in the center of defense. Risk from the Turkish coach, especially with the Brazilian stopper who is clearly unprepared.
- The statements of Terim and Limnios about the match
- In the first match, Atromitos won 2-1 at Leoforo. The team that will pass will face PAOK.
- Good evening. Together we will watch the rematch between Atromitos and Panathinaikos for the quarterfinals of the Greek Cup.
