Super League: “Green” conquest in Faliro and AEK at +2 from the top!
Super League Standings Matchday 22: Today’s Super League matchday had it all: A great away win for Panathinaikos at Karaiskakis, a “division” in the Thessaloniki derby, and AEK taking advantage of the results, remaining steadily in 1st place of the standings.
Olympiacos – Panathinaikos 0-1: Taborda “froze” Faliro
Panathinaikos was the great winner of the “eternal” derby. Benitez’s players entered with “the knife between their teeth” and opened the score in just the 7th minute with Vicente Taborda, who was also named MVP of the match. Despite Olympiacos’ possession and chances (culminating in Gelson Martins’ chance in the 78th minute), the “red-and-whites” remained at 46 points. Strong protests from the home team regarding the 48th-minute phase, considering that Calabria’s challenge on Hezze should have been punished with a straight red card.
Aris – PAOK 0-0: Intensity and “heroic” goalkeepers
At “Kleanthis Vikelidis,” the Thessaloniki derby remained at “zero,” with Athanasiadis and Pavlenka making impressive saves in stoppage time against Pelkas and Fabiano, respectively. PAOK was superior in the first half but inaccurate, while for Jimenez’s Aris, Kouame and Garre made their debuts.
AEK leads the race
AEK, with its own victory, took full advantage of Olympiacos’ defeat and PAOK’s draw. the “Union” remains in 1st place of the standings, showing the character of a champion and gaining “air” (distance) from its pursuers.
