PAOK got the three against Panetolikos in the postponed game of the 16th. In fact, the Brazilian was so happy with the goal he scored that he furiously celebrated and even hugged Lutsescu, whom he threw onto the Toumba field.

On the other hand, Panaitolikos, who had to play for a month without increasing the pace, started and it is characteristic that he did not play well in the first 45 minutes. In the second half, however, he increased his performance, had a goal with Vergos and the chance to 1-1 to 1-1, he didn’t succeed and in the last few minutes he looked tired and conceded a second goal.

With changes, both teams

PAOK started with several new faces, because due to the coronavirus problems in the previous days, the punishments of Zivkovic-Akpom and the injury of Kantouri, Lucescu had to change a lot. The Romanian put Paschalakis under Lyratzi’s goal on the right and Rodrigo, who had fled, on the left, while Ingason – Michailidis played in the middle of the defense. Tsingaras-Kurtic played in the center as a duo with Augusto in front of them, and Mitritsa, Murg and Svinderski played in the attacking trio.

Of course, the Panetolikos team also had a lot of problems and changes, with Giannis Anastasiou seeing how the coronavirus problems plagued his team for the past ten days and against PAOK no team was able to set up a team exactly as he wanted. It is telling that Giannis Anastasiou only had five footballers on the bench, of which the 20-year-old Pardalos did not have the second goalkeeper, among other things Apostolaki, Houhoumi, Antones, Dias and Anesti.

PAOK is dominant in the first half but missed

PAOK were completely dominant in the first half, with the ball on their feet, squeezed the Panetolikos house, made 21 actions in the area of ​​Agrinio’s team but was superficial and out of place.

In fact, the Thessaloniki team won a penalty in the 9th minute and lost it. In fact, Kurtic, who had previously had five out of five, lost, but this time he executed in the middle while Melissa chased him away on foot.

The hosts still had the upper hand with Murg, Mitrica and Svinderski, but the home goalkeeper was there. In the 29th minute, PAOK won a second penalty with the use of VAR after a hand into Duarte’s penalty area in the penalty area, a penalty originally not given by the match referee. Kurtiλαβε took over the execution again and sent the ball into the right corner of Melissa, who this time fell from the other.

In the 34th minute PAOK could have scored the second goal, but the combination that the hosts played off with the final winner Augustos stopped at Melissa, who drove into a corner with impressive energy.

Agrinio’s team tried to level the game from the moment they were back in the game, but could not threaten effectively in the first part while not pushing in the Paschalakis area.

Vergos ray, Panaitolikos bad luck

Panaitolikos played a better performance early in the second half, starting to squeeze the box and threatening PAOK. He had his first final in 48 ‘with a header from Cornelius and a long shot from Tsigaras in 50’.

While he could even score a goal and finish the game in the 52nd minute of the game. In a cross from the right, Vergos defeated Michailidis and Ingasson and scored the header, but saw the ball stop on the left bar by Paschalakis and failed to equalize. He also had another good moment in the 59th minute with Mendoza.

A short time later, Panaitolikos had another good moment for a goal when Karelis took advantage of a mistake by Michailidis, came in from the right, made the parallel ball, but Lyratzis shot before Vergos sent the ball into the net.

Mesa Zampa and Colak, goals of the Brazilian

At the same time, immediately after the beam from Panetolikos, PAOK went to counterattack with Svinderski to give Murg, who passed everyone he found in front of him, but the spot he tried stopped again in Melissa.

Over time, Lutsescu wanted to refresh his team with a remaining 1-0 and an open game, placing both Leo Zampa in the 70s and Tsolak in the 76s in the two’s second leg in the biceps.

PAOK increased their performance, initially had the opportunity to head a goal with Kurtic, but the 1-0 remained until the delay. Where Leo Zampa scored a goal, he completed a nice counterattack by the hosts.

A deep shot at Tsolak, the defense of Panetolikos did not evade, the Croatian penetrated into the box, handed over to Sindklay and Zampas, who shot from outside the box and sent the ball into the net.
