QF Greek cup away vs the gavroi: Wednesday January 14th, 18:30 EET.

Michailidis had to take the penalty again. He touched it twice. According to new rules he did not miss it but had to take it again. And scored again.

Monastirlis saves the fifth. We advance.

Penalties it is.

+4

Giakoumakis almost.

Chalov subbed in for Andrija. Is this for the penalties?

Taison missing a big opportunity there.

Camara subbed in for Ozdoyev.

Yellow Baba for trying to get the ball sooner after a foul.

Zafeiris and Giakoumakis subbed in for Meite and "assistaras" Jeremejeff.

Monastirlis can not shoot or give a long ball. Needs to improve on that if still possible at this stage of his career as he is already 21.

Assist from Jeremejeff btw.

Their goal was a beauty but ours too. We looked like the old Barça with tiki-taka on one square metre.

But we equalize with Andrija

And they score the 0-1.......

HT 0-0. Pretty boring so far.

Konstantelias missing a sitter after a gift after 26 minutes.

A surprising squad and starting 11 as Tsiftsis and Mythou have fever. Most surprising is our keeper. Starting: Μοναστηρλής, Μπάμπα, Μιχαηλίδη, Κεντζιόρα, Κένι, Μεϊτέ, Οζντόεφ, Κωνσταντέλιας, Τάισον, Ζίβκοβιτς, Γερεμέγεφ. Bench: Γκουγκεσασβίλι, Νικολακούλης, Σάστρε, Βολιάκο, Θυμιάνης, Τέιλορ, Ζαφείρης, Καμαρά, Χατσίδης, Μπέρδος, Τσάλοφ, Γιακουμάκης. Bianco is - as expected - suspended.

No extra time in case of a draw, btw. A draw is immediately followed by penalties.

No squad announced. Lovren, Pavlenka, Despodov, Pelkas (he did take part at training yesterday) and Ivanusec are out though. First match probably for Zafeiris and Jeremejeff. Sarris might be included in the squad too.

Watched a part of Egypt-Benin yesterday. Their coach is Hossam Hassan. His brother Ibrahim is teammanager. I still have a photo with them somewhere. The photo was made during my time as a student in Greece during an Erasmus-exchange program in 1990.

Next "transfer": Rayan Oyebade (born 30-4-2007) of West Ham United U21 has decided to join Greece. Oyebade has a Nigerian father and a Greek mother.

Bianco is (probably) suspended for this match. He received his third yellow in the cup against Marko. He was not suspended in the league against Panathinaïkos.
