Panathinaikos entered the game with a domineering attitude, pressing the defense of Lamia from the first minutes. Only in the 8th minute, from an excellent vertical pass by Mancini, Sporar found himself in a position to shoot inside the area, but his finish hit the left post of Koselev and went away from the visitors’ defenders.

From 14′ to 23′, Panathinaikos “lost” with muscle injuries both players on the left side (Verbich, Huancar), while in the 26th minute, due to a theft by the players of the “trefoil” up high and very good circulation, the ball it got to Aitor who “executed”, but Koselev showed a good reaction and blocked in two times.
The Panathinaikos players continued to press and in the 29th minute they had another good moment, when from Bernard’s foul, Akaidin took the header, but the ball went just wide, while in the 39th minute, Martinez of Lamia was sent off with a straight red for very hard pressing with the caps on Akaidin.

From Akaidin’s mistake outside the area, Sidclay intercepted the ball, passed it to Carlitos who passed whoever he found in front of him with a slalom from the left and with an excellent finish in the opposite corner made it 0-1.

Fatih Terim “charged” his attack at the start of the second half, passing Alex Geremeev on the field and “turning” the system into a clean 4-4-2 and in the 49th minute the Swede had his first good moment, with close range header from Aitor’s cross which went over the crossbar for Koselev.
Panathinaikos’ persistence was rewarded in the 59th minute. In a new period in the Lamia area, Mancini immediately passed to Vagiannidis, he turned low towards the small area and Geremegev made it 2-1, finding the net for the third league match in a row.
In the 62nd minute, Mladenovic feinted and shot with his right, but the ball went just wide, while in the 65th minute, Mancini’s left-footed cross from inside the area went wide of the posts.
Lamia proved how tough a team they are this year and in the 68th minute they tied the match against Tsiloulis. From a cross by the newly-arrived Tosic, the ball went powerfully to the second post and Tsiloulis equalized with a nailed header at 2-2.
Panathinaikos started to press again to regain the lead and in 72′ Koselev made an excellent save on Bernard’s shot, while in 80′ Tsiloulis missed an incredible opportunity in the counter-attack, placing just wide of Dragovski’s left post.
