Aγαπητή Metrosport,

A penalty missed by Pelkas, a bad moment by Giannoulis and an oligarchy in the center of defense, led PAOK to defeat in the first away game of the year, in the first away game, although it was the one that scored the best goal of the match, with Pelkas. . The case of qualification, of course, was “open” for the second game, in Toumba, however PAOK is obliged to win against a team that has defensive problems, but is very dangerous offensively, thanks to the speed and skill. your midfielders and attackers.

The PAOK certainly could have avoided defeat to facilitate the dispatch to the rematch, however, the fact remains that despite the mood of all its players, it did not perform as well as it should attack and the dangerous situations it created were few. . If nothing else, less than the ones created by Krasnodar.

The match started perfectly for PAOK with the penalty they won, but Pelkas scored the goalkeeper right in the center of the house and missed the unique opportunity to give his team the lead from an early age. The aftermath found Krasnodar attacking with speed and turning dangerous in three instances (one shot and two good saves from Zivkovic) and PAOK moving just as fast on his own attacks to take advantage of every free space. In one of them, three masterful transfers by Varela, Giannouli and Zivkovic, carried the ball in front of the home of Krasnodar, where Pelkas skillfully “stroked” it, sending it to the net. The 0-1 was a fact and PAOK seemed capable of scoring again. The 1-1, however, did not take long to come ignominiously, with the unnecessary penalty from Giannoulis, who obviously had no intention but stepped on his opponent’s foot, a fraction of a second before taking the ball.

With the start of the second half, the PAOK players seemed more “read” about the way Krasnodar attacks. They blocked their fast midfielders and attackers, “closed” the axis very well to avoid frontal attacks and looked for a way to become threatening, mainly from the side, since, as in the first part, the inability to “drill” was glimpsed. “From the axis the defense of Krasnodar.

The game continued to be divided, with the ball moving up and down from zone to zone and, after a clever shot by Wanderson, well blocked by Zivkovic, PAOK were again unlucky with El Kantouri’s position at the crossbar. To make matters worse, it became 2-1 at a time when PAOK’s center of defense was reduced, to the benefit of Berg and striker Kabela. It was precisely the moment that justified the insistence of the Russian team to create and attack quickly, almost exclusively from the axis and obviously this PAOK must pay special attention in the rematch, since it will be the team that will play only for the victory. If this oligarchy were missing, the only one in the entire second half, the situation would be different, but surely the 2-1 can be reversed by a serious, passionate and, above all, very careful PAOK in the defense zone.
