Handball premier: AEK won the derby with Doukas, Olympiacos Piraeus remained unbeaten
AEK managed to win the derby with Doukas 31-30, while Olympiacos continued their unbeaten streak in the Handball Premier.
A great game took place in Byron, with AEK taking two valuable points 31-30 against the particularly combative Doukas, who came close to a positive result, showing that their previous unbeaten streak was no fluke.
The Union started the game ideally, leading 5:0 (5th), 7:1 (7th), 11:5 (12th) and was dominant, then with 17:11 (26th) and 18:14 at halftime.
Doukas carried out a counterattack in the second half and, after AEK’s 19:14, scored a 4-0 run in the 38th minute to make it 19:18, while in the 41st minute the equalizer was 20:20 with a partial score of 6-1 defeat and the chance to take the lead when Matskevic stopped Zibulovic’s penalty in the 43rd minute when the score was 21:21.
Then the game went goal-goal, with AEK being cooler at the break of 53:58 and 28:27 becoming a score of 31:27.
Doukas tried to turn things around and made it 31:30 with a 3-0 run, but AEK kept the lead and the victory because he had the ball in the last 30 seconds.
Olympiacos scored 6/6
Without the injured Savvas, but with polyphony in attack (11 of the 14 players on the field scored), Olympiacos SF/Omilos Xini easily defeated Aeropos Edessa 31-24 and continued with the absolute 6/6 in the Handball Premier.
The “Red and Whites” now sit at the top of the league with AEK with 12 points and the winter champions will, it seems, be decided between them in the postponed December derby.
Stelios Seirekidis’ debut on the PAOK bench was successful as he comfortably won 32:22 against Panhellenic on matchday 7 of the Handball Premier in Kypseli.
Bianco Monte Drama scored a big “double” over Ionian Affidea 28-26 in New Philadelphia. The guests maintained their 5th place with 8 points and showed in another game that they are a homogeneous team that will take a leading role in the championship this year.
Ionikos, on the other hand, was far from a positive result in another game and has now suffered 6 defeats in a row and remains at the bottom of the table.
On Drama’s side, international right winger Achilleas Toskas scored 9 goals, reaching 50 in the league.
Ionikos came into the game after 10:16 (33rd) and 19:23 (46th) and equalized the score at 23:23 after 52nd minute, but Drama reacted and found the solution for 24:26 (54th) and secured victory.
Big surprise – victory for Diomedes Argos with 26-23 over AESCH Pylaia in Thessaloniki. The hosts were dominant in the first half, but also until the 39th minute. With an excellent 10 minutes (20-30), Pylaia turned from 8-7 to 14-9 with an individual score of 6-2, while the Argos team reduced to the half-time score (14-10) thanks to a goal from Asvestas.
At the beginning of the second half, specifically in the 39th minute, Pylaia increased the difference again to 5 goals (18-13).
From that point on, Diomedes Argos was the game’s boss, which drastically changed his image.
First it shortened it to 18:17 (43rd) with a 4-0 run, then equalized to 19:19 (48th). In the 52nd minute it led by +2 (20-22) and in the 57th In the third minute it tied the match as it escaped with +3 (21-24), resulting in an impressive individual score of 11-3!
Nothing changed in the last few minutes and the guests celebrated a great double victory with 26:23 and at the same time their 4th win in a row, which puts them on equal points with Doukas (11) in 3rd place.
Zafeirakis Naoussa continued his excellent season and defeated GAS Kilkis 24:21 on matchday 7.
The team from Naoussa remained in 6th place with 8 points and has moved far away from the teams that will fight for survival, such as GAS Kilkis, who are looking for their first win in the league in the next games.
