With three changes in the starting XI

The quick goal drove away the stress

In the 6th minute with a header from Ioannidis, which went straight out, in the 9th minute from Gacinovic with a header from Saranov in a corner and in the 16th minute, when the Greens immediately changed the ball, the Serbian found Midfielder Aitor, who caught the shot with the ball, leaves just above the hearth of the Lamia goalkeeper.

In the first 45 minutes, Panathinaikos was the absolute leader and didn’t let Lamia in his penalty area, while it is characteristic that the guests didn’t even have a final in front of Diodi’s home. On the contrary, the first part ended with another good moment for Panathinaikos in the 40th minute after a Vigiafanies shot from outside the box.
