AEK suffered a 3-0 defeat away from Braga on the road with Massimo Carrera’s players paying for the mistakes they made and bringing two of the three goals from the hosts but also the missed opportunities their team had, especially in the second place when and threatened more.
ADVERTISING
AEK did not show a good face, they seemed to be more afraid of their rival, they had absences that did not help the Italian coach to align the best possible team and they suffered their first defeat away from home in the Europa League after 2011. And indeed with a strong marker that can play its role.
YES, BUT WITH 3-5-2 IN 45 MINUTES
AEK lined up on the Braga stadium pitch with a defensive system as Carrera used 3-5-2 in his attempt to keep the Portuguese away from Tsintotas’ home while he wanted to cover up some of the given absences that existed . At the same time, the Italian left Livagia, Tankovic on his bench and attacked Ansarifard, Oliveira.
On the other hand, the hosts did not face absences as they had several of their players on a great day, Galeno and Paulinho on a great day and each had one goal and one assist.
In the first 45 minutes, AEK kept Braga away from home but at the same time could not threaten himself. The Portuguese, of course, had more time with the ball at their feet with the visitors trying to hit the counter.
The first really good moment of the match was lost in the 38th minute by Francerio, who took the head undisturbed and sent the ball out. AEK responded in the 42nd minute when Oliveira was in Braga’s area and fired the shot but went wide.
The Portuguese found the goal they were looking for in the 44th minute when in an Esgaio cross from the right, Galeno jumped higher, took a header and edged Cindonta for Braga 1-0.
THREATENED FIRST IN PART TWO
With the start of the second half, AEK did not make any changes but was the first to threaten. In the 50th minute, Mandalos fouled with Tsigrinski heading but Mateus blocked the ball.
The hosts came close to a second goal in the 57th minute with Cintontas initially saying no to Francerio’s shot. Braga again had a double chance in the 61st minute with Andre Castro shooting the AEK goalkeeper to say no and Galeno’s second shot was missed.
At that moment Carrera decided to change teams. He replaced Livagia and Tankovic with Cigrinski and Ansarifard and changed the system.
TERRIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR AEK
With the two changes made by Carrera, AEK became more mobile and threatened good morning on his most important opportunity. Mandalos made the vertical pass to Tankovic who passed to Mateus but he went sideways, he could not place and the one who approached Oliveira from a good position sent the ball out.
BRAGA MAKES THE TRANSITION
The hosts made the transition right twice and found a second and third goal. Initially in the 78th minute, Galeno stole the ball from behind the center, left the attack and at the right moment gave it to Paulinio who with a diagonal shot defeated Tsintontas 2-0.
The third goal came in the 88th minute with Livagia losing the ball to Braga going on the counterattack and Paulinio giving it to Ortas who with a beautiful position made it 3-0.
