With two goals by Tete, one by Geremegev and a delightful “painting” by Fotis Ioannidis, Panathinaikos, who also lost a penalty with Tete, defeated Dynamo Minsk 4-0, who had two goals, and impressively advanced to the play offs Conference League.
Panathinaikos-Dynamo Minsk: This is how they played
Panathinaikos started with Lodingin under the posts. Max is left back, Kotsiras is right, Gedvai and Ingason are the two stoppers. Arau, Maksimovic, Unai the triple in the axis of the center. Djurisic is a left winger, Tete is a right winger and Geremegev is a center forward.
Dynamo started with Lapukhov in goal. Lopes, Gavrilovic, Begunov, Pigas in defense. Kalinin, Kulikov, Demchenko in the center. Zherdev, Meinchenko, Podstrelov in attack.
He forced after 30′ and… goal!
Panathinaikos did not enter the game particularly well, despite having control, they did not have good circulation in the attacking third and failed to find partnerships with frequency. Even in that time, though, he had two big chances with Maksimovic. The Serb shot wide in the 15th minute after an excellent effort by Djurisic, while two minutes later he was beaten by the opposing keeper.
Rui Vitoria’s team increased their performance from half an hour onwards, thanks mainly to Unai’s… spirits. The opening of the scoring started from the feet of the Moroccan. With a vertical pass he destroyed the defense of the visitors, Kotsiras turned perfectly from the right and Geremegev in the 33rd minute put Trefoil into the lead. In the 40th minute, Unai, after making a wonderful slalom, gave a ready goal to Tete who missed unmarked with his head.
In the 43rd minute, Dynamo threatened with a foul by Kulikov, with Lodingin making an excellent intervention.
Unai was dancing, Tete got his… gun, Fotis finished it off!
The “greens” entered the second half very strongly and in the 54th minute… they cleaned up the match. Djuricic stole, Unai found Tete in the area and the Brazilian ace made it 2-0 with a wonderful finish.
With yet another very beautiful attack, Panathinaikos scored a third goal in the 64th minute. Tete ran up the field, Unai found Djurisic, he caressed the ball for Tete who with a change of direction and perfect placement made it 3-0.
The icing on the cake came in 84′. One minute after Tete’s missed penalty, Ioannidis scored an incredible goal. Improbable. From 35 meters, he beat the opposing goalkeeper, making the final 4-0 in awe.
Clover had done everything right. He won, scored many goals and managed to avoid Chelsea in the round of 16. Vitoria’s side finished 13th in the League phase of the Conference League. There he will be drawn with either Bickenburg or Borats in tomorrow’s draw.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Azedine Unai. The Moroccan had his most fulfilling game in the green shirt, dancing on the pitch. He started the first goal from his own cross, from his own assist the second, he also participated in the third, putting the ball in the area for Djurisic. Great game from the international ace.
IN HIS HEIGHT: Tete. Back to… normalcy for the Brazilian virtuoso. He scored two goals, with excellent finishes in the open field. He needed it tonight, he was well rested in the championship game.
Fotis Ioannidis, obviously. For the legendary goal he put on.
WEAK LINK: The defensive transition of Dinamo Minsk was their big wound and Panathinaikos took full advantage of it.
The blunder: Tete’s missed opportunity in the 40th minute when, in front of an empty net, he failed to send the ball into the net and the poor penalty kick in the 84th minute.
THE STRAGALI: Hennessy easily carded Panathinaikos in the first half and irritated the players of Trefoil. Otherwise, he did not have a big mistake, as through VAR he corrected the wrong decision in the reversal of Tete.
THE GAZZETTA FUND: Panathinaikos was good tonight at OAKA, they did the obvious and apart from the win, they scored a lot of goals against Dinamo Minsk and finished in places away from Chelsea. Clover continued to confirm that it has entered the path of normalcy.
