Despodov wirh a dribble and Zivkovic 2-4 !!!!

And then we get a penalty. Zivkovic misses. Again.

Can't see us holding this advantage.

And 2-3

Good save Tsiftsis.

Damn. 1-3. Too soon to conceede.

Yellow Kedziora. Soft but stupid.

Chalov with a brilliant backheel as an assist.

Konstantelias and 0-3.

He says no. We are lucky. And my nerves return.

Kedziora pulls his shirt. I think he will award it.

Potential Penalty Check against us.

Yellow Zivkovic and freekick at a tricky place. But they send it skyhigh.

Great assist Michailidis for the second goal. His long balls are a delight.

What a start and I was ready for a 3-0 defeat and without hope and started watching nerves for a change....... But what do I know .....

Andrija 0-2

Meite 0-1 !!!!!!

Konstantelias denied by the goalkeeper after a few minutes from the start. And now Camara out injured. Bianco his replacement.

Watching a PAOK-reunion in the early matches today: AZ (coach Maarten Martens) vs Slovan Bratislava (Kyriakos Savvidis and Robert Mak).

The roof of the stadium will be closed btw

Starting 11: Tsiftsis, Baba, Michailidis, Kedziora, Kenny, Meite, Camara, Konstantelias, Zivkovic, Despodov and Chalov.

You are too eager, fearless leader. We still have the return on November 5th.

Ladies and gentleman we probably have a Greek contender at the Olympics at speed skating. It is a guy called Kai in 't Veld. He was able to get a Greek passport as his father is a Greek with the very Greek name Stephan Tieleman. See the article written in Dutch: https://www.nu.nl/schaatsen/6372943/kai-in-t-veld-bewijst-dat-een-schaatsende-griek-geen-mythe-is.html The article mentions another Greek who represented Greece in the past. He was my classmate in Greek school.

Nikos Karageorgiou is fired. Spaniard Dani Ponz is the next hired (to be fired).
