Panathinaikos 1-0 Panathinaikos: Great win with Mendoza the hosts, the Klee in trouble

Panathinaikos suffered yet another away defeat this season. This time 1-0 by Panetolikos in Agrinio for the 24th game, the hosts finding a wonderful goal with a foul from Mendoza, who found nets on the greens after AEK and Olympiakos.

Agrinio’s team thus defeated another great team at home at a time when Panathinaikos, who were better for most of the game, found a way to lose another game as they had the opportunity to equalize with a penalty, but Giannis won it Anestis repelled the execution of Carlitos, kept the 1-0 and was able to achieve the win and the three-pointer until the end.

Panaitolikos pulled off a great three-pointer and, under certain conditions, can claim his place in the championship playoffs as long as he makes two-to-two. On the other hand, Panathinaikos struggled to reach the playoffs. Yes, he has luck in his hands, but his presence is not to be taken for granted if he fails to score in the next few games until the end of the regular season.

Palacios sits on the bench

Jovanovic opted to set up Panathinaikos with changes against Panetolikos, as he left Sarlia Palacios and Ioannidis on the bench alongside the penalized Schenkefeld, with Vital and Carlitos in the starting XI. Most notably, the non-use of the Argentine, who was one of the top greens in previous games, didn’t help Panathinaikos as Vital was present during the time he played in the game.

On the other hand, Giannis Anastasiou was back in the starting line-up of Panetolikos Giannis Anestis, who was one of the protagonists of Agrinio’s team as he had several saves and even intercepted Carlitos’ penalty at a crucial point of the game.

A goal that didn’t count for the whole of the first part

Very few things were done by either team in the first part. Of note were only a good phase from Carlitos and the intervention of Anestis and a goal from Sarlias that didn’t count in 35 minutes and for which they protested strongly to Panathinaikos.

Specifically, in a corner from the right, Charlia got the first header, Veleth tried to keep it on the field and turned it with a header in the direction of the Croatian, who scored. The first assistant showed the ball gone wide, with Sidiropoulos annulling the goal on VAR’s recommendation.

Mendoza opened the scoring in the second half

At the start of the second half, Panaitolikos fought a foul from a good spot outside the box from the right in 46′. Mendoza set the ball, took the action and committed the foul. The midfielder from Agrinio’s team sent the ball to Dioudis’ left Gamma, who made his attempt to chase it but couldn’t, with the result that Panaitolikos opened the scoring.

Panathinaikos couldn’t threaten and create last chances, although they tried everything they could to find a goal to finish the game, but they couldn’t.

Anestis intercepted Carlitos’ penalty

After an hour of play, Jovanovic took out Gacinovic and Vital, handed them off to Ioannidis, Palacios and became more threatening, playing with a duo in attack.

In fact, the Klee won a penalty 67′ when Ioannidis was tagged by Cornelius with his hands inside the box and Sidiropoulos awarded the penalty. Decision confirmed by VAR.

Carlitos, Panathinaikos’ top scorer, took the ball, put it in the ball and took over the execution. The Spaniard sent the ball down the left flank, Anestis fell right to save and keep the 1-0 for his team.

Panathinaikos kept the advantage and tried in vain to get a draw until the end of the game and the 1-0 remained until the end.
