PAS is the big loser of the play-off premiere, as everyone else got points and this defeat hurts a lot, because it came against the flow of the game, where “Ajax” missed opportunities with the sack and Atromitos in three phases made three goals. And what a goal, from a funny suspension function of PAS Ioannina. Such goals, like those of Tzavella and Vergo, are not scored by teams even in school championships. According to the image of the game, if a team had to win it was PAS, because they had phases and many chances. But it’s not the chances that count, but the goals. And for PAS to score a goal, they must miss ten chances. And at the same time it is very difficult to keep a result.
Today was a great opportunity to get the victory in Peristeri which would give him another wind for the continuation. Because the home team Atromitos didn’t show much and didn’t go beyond mediocrity. But PAS did not succeed and now can only hope for a miracle. With the existing data, with the difficulty he scores, with the way he concedes goals, it is very difficult to turn the situation around and stay in the division. It is the bitter reality that we have to look at calmly and realistically.
We could say a lot about Manouhos and the supervisor Psaris who constantly had the flag raised in every attack of PAS, as well as VARista Tsakalides who did not enlighten us about the disallowed goal of Tsima, but if PAS was working properly it could to bypass dietary abominations as well. From the moment they put Manouhos as referee and Tsakalides in VAR, we didn’t expect anything better than what we saw. But if PAS had a better function and performance and didn’t make such funny mistakes at the back, it could win Manouhos too!
The game started with very good conditions for PAS, he had a goal in the 4th minute with Jima, he scored a goal in the 6th minute with Jima that was disallowed by VARista Tsakalides without showing us exactly whether or not the whole ball crossed the line. he had three or four good chances. And while the first half should have been 0-3, it ended with a score of 1-0, since in the first phase of Atromitos it was 1-0 with Gonzales.
In the replay, PAS managed to draw 1-1 in the 49th minute, having plenty of time ahead to make the complete turnaround. But in the 61st minute, he conceded a very cheap goal from Tzavella in a phase where the defense really fell asleep. Damn it all over again to equalize. When a team eats such ridiculous goals, it is not easy for the rest of the players to handle the pressure and stress that is always there. Despite this, PAS equalized 2-2 in the 85′ with Eramouspe’s header, pressed for a third goal and instead of making it 2-3, in the 95′ it became 3-2 in a phase out of nowhere where Vergos found himself forgotten and easily beat Soulis making it 3-2.
Things have become very difficult for PAS Ioannina. It cannot correct imperfections and obvious weaknesses in all lines. He is constantly losing players to injuries, he doesn’t have the easy goal, he misses chances even in front of an empty net and he is very vulnerable at the back, conceding very easy goals. Even luck has abandoned him, They are weaknesses that have existed since the beginning of the season, sometimes to a greater and sometimes to a lesser extent. Not even the January transfers helped much to change the situation. Everyone begins to believe that the lads can’t do it anymore, as Angelos Anastasiadis would say. Yes, the team has improved in many things, they make plays and chances, but when the result is not there, all this is meaningless. The right to hope is not extinguished, as there are still 6 matches, but hopes are created by good efforts. What can change in the next 6 games that didn’t change in the previous 27?

THE PHASES
6′: In a cross from the right of Tutu, the goalkeeper blocked a little from the line, with a projection of Jima. Initially, a goal was awarded by Manouho, but after a VAR check, it was judged that the ball did not cross the line and the goal did not count.

45’+3′: Soulis made an amazing save on a foul by Tzavella.
71′: Incredible opportunity for PAS Ioannina with Gino. The phase started from the right and reached the completely unmarked Gino who from two meters and sideways managed to send the ball out in front of an empty net.
73′: New opportunity for PAS Ioannina with Leo entering the area and turning with Marchezani kicking away for a corner. In a phase in which Leo should have taken the shot earlier and not turned the ball over
