Panserraikos Senior beat Panionios 2-0 making an important step to the next stage of the Greek Cup!
Panserraikos were slightly better in the first half when the visitors defended well. Great chance during this time when Skafidas saved Deletic’s attempt!
A slightly more balanced start in the second half when Panionios tried to take steps on the field but the decisive step took place in the 62′ when the ball from a Phares cross found the outstretched arm of Dionellis! The referee showed the white arrow and from there Bedancourt made it 1-0.
This goal made the Serres team more aggressive and obviously less stressed. The pace is faster, the visitors are more willing to take more risk to reach the 2nd minute of stoppage time where it was 2-0!
In removing Karasalides, Salazar left the fastest of all. Katsikas blocked the shot, but the ball, gelling on the body of Hrusinets who was following the step, ended up in the net!
PANSERRAIC: Katsikas, Karasalidis, Karamanolis, Khantakias, Fees, Koutsogoulas, Zelen (54′ Kaptoum), Perutsi, Tomas (67′ Hadjistravos), Deletics (54′ Salazar), Betancourt (67′ Gigits).
Panionios: Skafidas, Zoulias, Potsi, Bousis, Dionellis (84′ Chroustnets), Tsornomaz, Piertziakomi (76′ Bourlakis), Engwem, Grondis (60′ Kolovos), Alexandrakis (60′ Stoupis), Felitsio (76′ Semba).
