[Blackhawk]

Post by Oliveira.

[Dutch Eagle]

Oliveira almost but the keeper pushes it against the post without knowing 

[DunfermlineAthleticPAOK]

so close.. and so unlucky. could have easily gone in there ?

[Dutch Eagle]

Brandon and El Kaddouri subbed in for Oliveira and Konstantelias

[Dutch Eagle]

Damn 0-1

[Dutch Eagle]

But offside. Pfffff

[Blackhawk]

Offside

[Dutch Eagle]

And again 0-1 but wasn't that a fout at the other side?

[Blackhawk]

0:1 now

[DunfermlineAthleticPAOK]

foul against us before the goal. VAR is pointless when its not used correctly. What a joke

[Dutch Eagle]

Brandon almost but wide

[Dutch Eagle]

Last sub. Douglas Augusto out and Felipe Soares in. 

[Dutch Eagle]

And FT. Disappointing  

[Blackhawk]

Bad result. Dreams of 1st and 2nd place are over.

[Dutch Eagle]

Very bad. The more since the filiko ended in 2-2.

Disappointing result considering the other results, we would have been in this up to our eyeballs. It was always going to be tough and I think most of us thought 2nd place was the maximum for this season. Considering we are now 6 points behind the top 2, I think we go away to Olympiakos and go for the win. We've beaten them there this year, and while they are improved this time around, we are capable of pinching 3 points. 

No difference between finishing 3rd and 4th, so go there and play for the win to stay in touch with the top 2. Drop points and we know it's just about over and all our eggs go into the cup basket.

we were good only after 0 - 1 it was fair to lose

That depends. If we win the cup no difference. If we don't win the cup and the winner (AEX or Gavros) finishes in the top 2 3rd will be awarded the better cup-spot starting European football in EL Q3. Otherwise you start in ECL Q2. So you gain a 2 or 3 weeks later start of the season and a loss in Q3 is not leathal as you drop to ECL.

[Blackhawk]

Exactly. Our no. 1 goal should be the cup and then the best possible placing in the league.
