Epirotes took the lead with Pedro Conte in the 25th minute, but Yannis Petrakis’ team recovered in the second half and got the valuable point with Sergio Diaz in the 70th minute. Terrible tension in the game, with “Ajax of Epirus” being in a very difficult position in the standings.
The game started at a good pace from both teams. In the 5th minute, Giorgos Pamlidis took the header from Kevin Rossero’s cross but missed the target. Three minutes later, Huanpi Anor and Haris Mavrias worked together, the latter turned to Nikos Karelis who scored but, after VAR intervention, the goal was disallowed as the former international forward was in an offside position.
Instead, he counted Conte’s goal in the 25th minute. The Spanish striker was on the receiving end of a fine partnership from Rosero, Carles Soria and rounded Sebastian Mladen to make it 1-0. Huanpi tried to make a game for the “canaries” until the end of the first part, however another “clean” phase in front of the two home teams was not created.
And the second had rhythm, but no chances. Until we reached the last half hour. In the 65th minute, Haris Mavria’s shot missed the target, but thanks to the energy and cross of the former Panathinaikos ace, five minutes later, Diaz equalized with a header at 1-1. However, seconds earlier, the home side had wasted a great chance to score a second goal as well, with Rossero giving… half a goal to Federico Gino who missed.
The hosts were the ones “burning” for points and came out massively in front, with Conte making a nice move but missing in the 81st minute and Marios Oikonomou saving, with Lucas Chaves neutralized, Panagiotis Tzima’s place in stoppage time. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, the visitors found the back of the net, but the goal was disallowed for offside.
After the 1-1 final, Michalis Grigoriou’s players see the train of staying in the top division moving away. On the contrary, with this result, Panaitolikos feels more secure, but not confident, as it was +2 from the penultimate Kifisia and maintained +5 from PAS Ioannina.
