Lamia – Asteras Tripoli 0-2: Arkades win playoffs, Fthioti in a difficult position

Lamia welcomed Asteras Tripolis to Athanasios Diakos for the postponed game of Super League Interwetten Game 22, with the visitors winning 2-0 and returning to the playoffs as they climbed to sixth place on 35 points. At the same time, Lamia remains in a difficult position as she is 12th with 18 points.

The game had no rhythm for much of the game. Asteras scored in the first half in his unique final while Lamia tried to reduce the score, mainly in the second half (45-60, his good break) but to no avail.

Arkades found nets in their first final in the game. Sito carried the ball from the right and distributed it to Alvarez. The latter made the cross from the right and Barrales sent the ball into the net with a fishhead in the 34th minute.

Three minutes later, Arkades’ second final had the same end. Barales grabbed the ball in midfield and passed it to Capilla, who put it perpendicular to Riera, who with a nice jab defeated Garavelis to make it 2-0.

In the second half, Lamia was the one who had the initiative of the moves and created some chances without being able to reduce the goal. In fact, he found nets with Bangoura in the 74th minute, but that didn’t count with VAR’s intervention when Eleftheriadis’s hand stopped Alvarez’s exit.

Arkades scored two goals in two finals

The match between the two teams was particularly crucial for various reasons, as both teams played very cautiously and both hosts achieved minimal endgames. At the same time, the many fouls didn’t help to find the rhythm of the game, although Fire didn’t “use” his cards in the first part.

Significantly, there was no final in the game until the end of Barrales, with both sides attempting to threaten mostly through static stages.

Lamia threatened for the first time after Riera’s goal. Beharano committed a foul won by the hosts and Tsoukalos headed Papadopoulos for his first surgery, while a minute later Lucas’ try had the same end as both teams went 2-0 into the dressing room.

Threatening but ineffective Lamia in the second part

In the second half, Lamia played for everything as it would take a lot of effort to get back into the game, while Asteras was primarily intent on maintaining the league lead.

Unlike the first half, Lamia was dangerous in the second and was able to find a goal in the first half.

The first final of the second half was a shot from new signing Provydakis, which went wide in the 52nd minute. The first important final for Fthioti came in the 57th minute. Manousos saw the ball thrown into the crack halfway through the penalty spot, but his shot went a little wide.

A minute later, Asteras was the one trying to threaten. Garcia made the parallel turn through the area towards Barrales but was cut at the last moment. In the 59th minute, Papadopoulos defeated Tsoukalos with a close-range shot. Provydakis turned in the small range and the tall striker was defeated by Papadopoulos.

After 60′ the game slowed down again, which was in the interests of the Arcadians. Lamia scored with Bangouras in the 74th minute, which was stopped by a hand from Eleftheriadis.

After Bangoura’s goal was disallowed, Fthioti failed to find the nets and became less of a threat, with Asteras retaining the lead in the score.
