CL-QR2-L1: PAOK - Borac Banja Luka (24.07.24, 20:30 EEST)

So Kotarski has the ball controlled. Koulierakis in protecting himself from running into him hits Kotarski’s hand. Ball comes out. Ref continues play, they get an open shot and miss. Then he gives the PK?

And Schwab yellow too. Though being the captain.

The VAR was introduced to avoid clear foul play that was not noticed as the Thierry Henry handball that costed Ireland the WC partipation. Everybody applouded the introduction of the VAR.

Now the VAR has become like mathematicions that try to screw over clubs or countries for 0000007 centimeters off side or touching the ball without any deflection (Lukaku 's goal was cancelled as a teammate touched it somewhere before without knowing or changing the way the ball was going at all). Everybody is fed up with the VAR.

[Dutch Eagle]

Yes, gooooaalllllll 2-1

[Blackhawk]

Koulierakis again

[PaokCT]

I just don’t understand. The refs got rid of double jeopardy rule (no red card + PK). So the ref allowed advantage (Borac had a great opportunity to score). They missed. Then the PK got called. So they had 2 scoring chances on the same play, which should never happen. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Was afraid for offside. But their captain was there somewhere at the cornerflag keeping Koulierakis on side

[PaokCT]

Ozdoev 99% chance to score, misses

[Dutch Eagle]

Oh boy Ozdoev. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Was offside btw. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Pfffff 2-2 ....

[PaokCT]

Lol we are terrible

[Blackhawk]

WTF is that? Don't believe we let this team score twice.

Better wake up for the second half.

[Dutch Eagle]

Taison should play the ball. Baba should watch his opponent. Childish football. 

[pash]

I believe Murg's garbage pass is what lead to that goal. Perhaps Konstantelias needs a few minutes.

-edit- because i can't spell names

If I was Lucescu, the changes at half-time should be Kedziora in for Ekong, Zivkovic in for Despodov, Konstantelias in for Murg.

Big mistake was starting Ozdoev together with Schwab making our midfield non-existant.

[Dutch Eagle]

Second half started. No subs so far.

[Dutch Eagle]

That was a corner!

[Dutch Eagle]

Yessssss. 3-2!!!!

[Blackhawk]

Ekong 3:2

[PaokCT]

Thank god for set pieces 

[Dutch Eagle]

Troost-Ekong. Glad he was not substituted. 

3 goals, 3 from a corner, all 3 from our CB's.

[Dutch Eagle]

Poor officiating. The ref adapts good to us.......

[Dutch Eagle]

First sub: Konstantelias for Murg.
