the game
Panathinaikos entered the field strongly and only in the 5th minute was threatened,pressing in the area with Pelistri,who did not have good control and did not complete his attempt. Right after that, Mr Bakasetas executed a corner from the left, Ingason took the header, goalkeeper Levadeiakou saved.
However, it was the Boeotians who came close to taking the lead in the 7th minute. Osbolt moved behind the Panathinaikos defense, found himself in front of Dragovski, tried to hang him and sent the ball out. The Greens, who had the initiative, continued to produce the finals and in the 14th minute, Ioannidis put his foot on Vagiannidis’ shot, not finding the target.
At this point, Levadeiakos tried to spread the ball more and “freeze” the pace. Gradually the shamrocks regained possession, with the hosts pushing from midfield. Panathinaikos struggled to threaten, having received a shot from Ioannidis in the 30’ and a shot missed by Mancini in the 45′.
Panathinaikos continued to produce finals in the second half as well. In the 48th minute, Bakasetas fed Mancini on the left in the area, who took the shot and was cleared by Garavelis. A few minutes later, Arao executed from outside the ”box” with the ball going wide.
The Greens were ahead in the 60th minute of the game. Bakasetas took a corner from the right, Ioannidis took the header and scored his first goal of the season this year. From then on, the Shamrocks took control, with Djuricic – he crossed in the 63rd minute – creating danger for the hosts from the left.
In 69′ he made a misplaced pass, and in 75′ he made a hanging shot that went wide. In the last minutes of the game, Levadeiakos tried to go forward, to create the opportunity that would give him the equalizer, but this did not happen despite the progress of Gianniotas.
