Justice in football is an arbitrary concept. Blinded instead of blind. As excessive as the extent of the defeat suffered by AEK Braga, three nights ago in Portugal, was equally contradictory was the 1-0 victory over PAS in Giannina, for their first win after two failed attempts with Atromitos and PAOK. No, however, unfair as a result.
The match for the sixth game of the Interwetten Super League simultaneously brought together a series of paradoxes that had a key effect on the final result. Let’s list them:
one) It is clear from the final score that the team that found the net won. It was the Union, thanks to Karim Ansarifard’s penalty in the 15th minute. A goal that came from an infraction that was charged late and after a correction by VAR, Houtesiotis for the departure-demolition of the Hnid stopper. The Tunisian AEK defender had caught a bad head, with the ball taking a trajectory towards the … lake of the city, but the hard mark that he received later, without affecting the balance, was sanctioned by the referee team.
two) On the contrary, Massimo Carrera’s team did not find any goals in the open play, although in at least three cases it created clear opportunities, through the quick collaborations that came mostly from the left wing (López, Tankovic and .. Send them) to precede or consolidate their leadership. Macheiras in the 10th minute made a lifeless and aimless pass, allowing Piersman to chase down the line, the unguarded Ansarifard in the 39th minute sent the ball out with a header from an advantageous position, while Oliveira in the 80th minute (who had replaced him) The Iranian para) has just confirmed his bad moon by going out of focus having a free field of execution.
3) What AEK did not achieve at the time was achieved by the hard-working and homogeneous team of Argyris Giannikis, who after the first 20 ‘swampy’ minutes gained meters on the field and moved the game to the opposite side. Only the two times that the ball ended up in Tsintotas’ nets did they lose the tie thanks to the horizontal and vertical lines of the VAR. By millimeters it was not as the PAS trainer reported, but the fact that “it’s hard to bear“as added analyze the overall performance of the PAS, is indeed true. For Pamlidis in 34 ‘he moved a little faster, with the consequence that his accurate head did not count, while Eleftheriadis in 51’ went ahead of the ball before getting high in the ‘yellow-black’ house.
4) At the moment when the PAS goal would count according to the law, the ball ended up in the hands of Tsintotas without him having intervened. It was just before Eleftheriadis’s disallowed goal, when in the 49th minute, the head of Argentine Rodrigo Eramuspe hit the inside of the right crossbar and in the march was blocked by the Union goalkeeper. A plug would have done the attackers’ job, in case he wasn’t so unlucky.
5) AEK kept his house intact by playing with two instead of three blocks, without one of them being Cigrinski or Svarnas. Romanian Dentelceanu had the right interventions and came out first with the ball on several occasions, while Hnid was going to be the one who, along with Ansarifard, got in the only goal of the game. Massimo Carrera explained that the 4-2-3-1 “it suits us better“but he justified himself for constant experimentation and modification by saying that”we have to change the system“according to conditions and available players.
6) Without a doubt the soccer player who worked more than anyone, on a regular and organizational basis, was Petros Mandalos. However, without Lopez’s raises and the balance that Sakhof brings to the axis during the 7/9 of the match, as he later got tired, AEK might not have triumphed at Giannina. In other words, the difference was not made by the protagonists of ‘Dikefalos’, his ‘first violins’ (two of which came from the bench).
In conclusion, AEK 1-0 was worthy, but not entirely fair. It hurt both Unión and PAS Giannina who had equal endings towards the goal (9 to 6 against 3 at home).
