Third place is still a possibility, but I doubt it. Let's focus on the cup.

Lyratzis (!) and Biseswar are back in the squad. Sastre has some issues (ενοχλήσεις στον δεξί τετρακέφαλο) and Koulierakis got a day off to rest.

Ingason almost with a header from a corner.

[Dutch Eagle]

And now he scores. Ingason 1-0.

[Dutch Eagle]

Where are you, guys? Looking for hidden eggs in the garden?

[Dutch Eagle]

Looks El kaddouri is injured again

[Dutch Eagle]

Goaaaaalll Narey 2-0

[Dutch Eagle]

El Kaddouri leaving the pitch in tears. Taison subbing in.

[pash]

Just turned on the game, 17 minutes late, already winning 2-0 and El Kaddouri in tears? So action packed

[pash]

3-0 Narey!

It's my birthday, dammit! HAVE SOME RESPECT!

[paokarag4]

I do feel for El Kaddouri, it must be so frustrating when you're body just doesn't allow you to get on the pitch. Hopefully a move back to Italy in the summer and he can play out the last few years of his career much healthier than he has been the last 2 years for us. 

[Dutch Eagle]

3-0 !!!!!!! Narey.  Great ball Oliveira btw

Happy birthday, Paschali mou! Na ta ekatostiseis!?

[Dutch Eagle]

And Douglas Augusto injured.  Another M*A*S*H game. 

[Dutch Eagle]

And Schwab coming in for DA.

[pash]

The streams I've been able to find are all completely silent; any indication of the severity of either injury??

[paokarag4]

The Augusto one looked quite innocuous, the commentator said he was clipped by the Volos player's studs and he did have a little blood on his knee. Hopefully it's just that as he has had a serious knee injury in the past.  

[pash]

Thanks bae, I owe you a tummy rub ❤️

 

Up 3-0 going into the half, surely the more pivotal players will be rested very soon...

[Dutch Eagle]

Almost 3-1. Commentator says it was offside but I doubt that. 

[pash]

Dantas goal, 4-0!
