Here are the players. I thought for Cup games we needed to bring two youth players?

 

Ρέι, Σιαμπάνης, Μάτος, Δεληγιαννίδης, Μαλεζάς, Κρέσπο, Βαρέλα, Μαουρίσιο, Σάκχοφ, Κάνιας, Τσίμιροτ, Πέλκας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Μυστακίδης, Κάμπος, Λημνιός, Κουλούρης και Πρίγιοβιτς

This is the rule:

Άρθρο 10: Συμμετοχή ποδοσφαιριστών
Η αναγραφή στο Φύλλο Αγώνα, στη 18άδα για τις ομάδες της Α΄ και Β΄ Εθνικής Κατηγορίας δύο (2) ποδοσφαιριστών ηλικίας κάτω των είκοσι (20) ετών είναι υποχρεωτική, από την πρώτη φάση μέχρι και τον Τελικό Αγώνα, ανεξάρτητα από τον Αριθμό των δηλωμένων ποδοσφαιριστών. Για τον υπολογισμό της ηλικίας των ποδοσφαιριστών θα λαμβάνεται υπόψη η 1η Ιανουαρίου του έτους γεννήσεώς τους. Για την αγωνιστική περίοδο 2017-2018 εντάσσονται στην κατηγορία αυτή οι γεννηθέντες από 01.01.1998 και εντεύθεν. 

Siabanis and Limnios meet this criteria.

[Blackhawk]

According to reports this is Lucescu's lineup:

---------------------------- Rey ----------------------------
Matos - Malezas - Crespo - Deligiannidis
------------ Shakhov ---------- Mauricio ----------
Limnios --------- Biseswar ------------ Pelkas
------------------------ Prijovic -------------------------

[pash]

Ahh, yutes in the style of my cousin vinny

 

-edit- I love that lineup

Blackhawk's lineup is spot on except that birthday boy Cimirot is playing instead of Mauricio

-edit- and Varela instead of Crespo

[Blackhawk]

As pash points out this is the actual lineup::

---------------------------- Rey ----------------------------
Matos - Malezas - Varela - Deligiannidis
------------ Shakhov ---------- Cimirot ----------
Limnios --------- Biseswar ------------ Pelkas
------------------------ Prijovic -------------------------

BENCH: Siabanis, Crespo, Mauricio, Canas, Mystakidis, Campos, Koulouris

I would like to see Mystakidis get at least 15 minutes of play today.

[Blackhawk]

PAOK with all blue jerseys. Will be hard to get used to it.

[pash]

Goal Matos!

[Blackhawk]

Matos 1:0

[pash]

Too bad that goal wasn't a header, we might still lose

[pash]

Ahh Prijovic so close just now. He's been close quite a few times already.

[Blackhawk]

We are very good offensively. Looks like we might secure qualification to next stage today.

[BostonThanatos]

1-1

[Blackhawk]

And as I say that it's 1:1

[pash]

Will end a 1-4 win for us, mark my words!

[Blackhawk]

Deligiannidis's fault.

[pash]

Biseswar having trouble working with his fellow midfielders. As much as I hate to say it, perhaps he should be the first sub. Mistakidis and Campos are on the bench, I'd put one of them on and move Pelkas central.

[Blackhawk]

Don't think I would agree with that. he already moved Biseswar to the left and Pelkas to the middle.

My first sub would be Campos for Limnios. 

[pash]

Deligiannidis took a nasty spill, definitely rolled his ankle. No way he continues.

-edit- I might be wrong about that last bit. Alls I knows is that the replay looked awful.

Edited December 19, 2017 by pash

[Blackhawk]

Looks like Deligiannidis will be the first sub due to injury. Can't if he can't continue.

[Blackhawk]

And here comes the Toumba ban.

[pash]

Ahhh Matos scores, disallowed due to foul? Or maybe not?!?!

[Blackhawk]

Guess it counted 2:1.
