What happened in Faliro, Manchester and Stockholm
El Kaabi made history but it wasn’t enough for him…
OR Rangers proved to be a tough nut to crack for him Olympic in “G. Karaiskakis” for the 4th round of the Europa League and the 1-1 final is considered fair…
The match was quite balanced in the first half with the Scots having closed the corridors to the “red and whites” and at the same time they were looking with deep balls in the back of the defense to surprise Olympiakos. In fact, it was Rangers who created the two classic chances of the half at 10′ and 21′, with Tzolakis saving his own goal as many times, first in a four-on-one with Dessers and later on a close-range shot by him from a dangerous turn Sterling.
In the 2nd half we had an even setting, but in the 55th minute Olympiacos found their chance and opened the scoring. Mouzakitis’s magical cross to Tsikinhos, he turned with a header in the penalty area and El Kaabi with a shot turned sent the ball into the net in apotheosis. With this goal, El Kaabi became within 15 months Olympiacos’ top scorer in European games with 20 goals in 20 games!
In the 57th minute, Bayrami’s shot went wide, while Butland blocked Cicinho’s shot in the 59th minute. But in the 64th minute, a mistake by Mouzakitis in the cross gave Dessers the opportunity to go out on his own in the attack and score to make it 1-1.
He fought it but counted without… Diallo
With two goals by the young Diallo, Manchester United beat him 2-0 PAOK at the legendary “Old Trafford” for the 4th round of the Europa League and left him at one point…
Under the gaze of its new coach Ruben Amorim who was on the stand and adored by the fans of the home team, after in the last match on the bench of Sporting he crushed in the Champions League the… hated compatriot City with 4-1, United was the one who took the reins of the match. However, PAOK, with the support of 5,000 fans, kept relatively easy in defense and was the one who threatened the home team more than once in the first half. Twice with Kamara and twice with Zifkovic the “two-headed” had very good moments but Onana denied the goal. United proved problematic once again and created just one good phase in the 28ththe minute with Diallo not catching Garnazzo’s cross.
In the replay, Manchester rushed onto the pitch and in the 50th minute, Diallo sent the ball into the net with a lucky header from Fernandes’ cross (1-0). PAOK reacted immediately and in the 53rd minute, Zifkovic shot wide from an advantageous position, wasting a very good chance to equalize.
The great opportunity was missed by Tisundali in the 65th minute when, from Tyson’s ball and unmarked at the penalty spot, he made a tepid shot that was blocked by Onana. PAOK then went up and started to push for an equaliser, but a serious mistake by Baba gave Diallo the opportunity to steal the ball from him, to go forward and with an impressive shot he made it 2-0 in the 79th minute and effectively ended the match. In stoppage time, Rashford’s goal was narrowly missed.
Shock defeat for Panathinaikos in Sweden
THE Panathinaikos defeated by Djurgarden with 2-1 in Sweden, despite the fact that he had taken the lead from the first half with Djurisic. The Swedes had more freshness in the second half and overturned the score. Somehow, Panathinaikos is now in 31st place in the Conference League standings and its hopes for qualification are in serious jeopardy!
The match started ideally for Panathinaikos, who took the lead with a goal by Djurisic in the 17th minute. The period began with an inspired Ioannidis, who played the ball to Mladenovic and whose cross after a counterattack found the Serbian midfielder, who scored an improbable goal to open the scoring early in the match.
Overall the pace wasn’t particularly… fast, however the Swedes leveled the match early enough. However, they did not have enough phases in the first half and in the 43′ Stoll’s header ended up wide. In the second half, the Swedes equalized with… good morning, since it was 1-1 in the 49th minute. At that point Gulliksen scored, after a vertical ball from Sabovic. In the 62nd minute, Dragovski said no to Ulliksen, whose shot was quite powerful.
In general, however, the greens had a bad night with players like Tete and Rui Vitoria was slow to make changes and the greens seemed to have no freshness at all, as a result of the fact that he chose the same line-up in two consecutive matches. In fact, in the 72nd minute, the match finally turned around, with Enguin finding Humet, with Turko beating Dragovski. In the 92′, the greens missed a terrible opportunity with Vagiannidis and Bakaseta not managing to score.
