Blackhawk

And there it is 0:1

Two big chances for us, one for them. As long as we don't score, they will try to sneak in the game winner on counters. Their defense is kind of weak today. We should have taken advantage of that.

Starting lineup: ---------------- Kotarski ------------- Jonny - Kedziora - Michailidis - Baba ---- Bakayoko ------- Schwab ------ Zivkovic --- Konstantelias --- Taison ------------- Tissoudali -------------

Colley out with injury, but Lovren is in the squad. Brandon, Tsiftsis also out.

The draw for the Round of 16 for the Greek Cup will take place on October 2, 2024 at 15:00. This time PAOK will be part of the draw. We will also learn the quarterfinal and semifinal matchups. Aigeas Plomari - Kavala/Asteras Tripoli AEK Aigaleo APS Zakynthos Aris Athens Kallithea Atromitos Kifisia OFI Olympiakos Panahaiki Panathinaikos Panionios Panserraikos PAOK Volos NFC

I expect a mini rotation in this game. Murg in for Konstantelias, Sastre in for Jonny and if Zivkovic is not ready Despodov to start.

Apparently we are trying to sign the free agent Jiri Pavlenka (32 year Czech old goalkeeper) before the transfer deadline of September 30. He is supposed to be our 2nd keeper due to the fact that Tsiftsis might be out for moinths if he undergoes abdominal surgery.

O top of that it looks like Zivkovic was injured in the end.

3:1 final. In the end we did not have the energy to do anything, but with little bit of luck could have escaped with a tie.

Just could not contain their pressure.

Konstanteliiiiiiiiaaaaaas

Kotarski keeping us in the game.

Cheap goal

I was really impressed with Colley. He was perfect so far.

That was a big chance by Konstantelias. He needed to score there. We had our moments in first half, but Galatasaray was pressuring us. Mainly at the end of first half. I am sure we will see the same scenario in second half. I think we can escape at least with a tie from Konstantinople.

All Spanish crew will officiate this game.

Tough game to start the EL League Stage campaign. I'll be happy with a tie. On top of that we follow Sunday with another tough one against Aris.

Final score 1:4. Good result although it did not look good the first 3 minutes of the game.

Red card Ferrari

0:1 Schwab
