[Dutch Eagle]

Sascha Stegemann from Germany the ref.

Meite is not available. Pashes boy Balde to replace him. 

Konstantelias, Ivanusec and Chatsidis (thanks to Kyriopoulos who did not even received a card for his brutal fout on him) out too.

[Dutch Eagle]

Starting 11:

Pavlenka,  Kenny, Vogliacco, Lovren , Baba, Zafeiris, Ozdoyev, Pelkas, Despodov, Zivkovic and Giakoumakis. 

[pash]

Balde may be on the bench but I have a feeeeling 😏

[Dutch Eagle]

Zafeiris yellow.

[Dutch Eagle]

A diving worm gets yellow. A German ref knows how to recognize one as Germans invented the dive, called Schwalbe (English: swallow) in German.

[Dutch Eagle]

Despodov missing a one on one.

[Blackhawk]

Despodov needs to score there.

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Vogliacco.

[pash]

Did Pelkas get fully knocked out there? Needs to be subbed

[Dutch Eagle]

3 minutes ago, pash said:

Did Pelkas get fully knocked out there? Needs to be subbed

In rugby union he would be for sure as they have independent docters that are not related to the teams. 

[Dutch Eagle]

First sub is not Pelkas but Vogliacco. Michailidis in.

And right after that Despodov with a hamstring-injury. Taison coming in. So two sub-moments used.

[Dutch Eagle]

Andrija just over the crossbar. 

[Dutch Eagle]

And now Giakoumakis with a header just wide. But we get a corner.

[Blackhawk]

I don't know how we are going to score. I predict 0:0 or even 1:0 loss.

[Dutch Eagle]

Jeremejeff and Camara the last subs. Giakoumakis and Zafeiris subbed out.

[PaokCT]

Goal but def offsides

[Dutch Eagle]

GOAL Ozdoyev but offside. Maybe VAR helps us?

[Dutch Eagle]

No. Still 0-0.

[PaokCT]

Omg what a save on Pelkas bicycle kick

[Dutch Eagle]

Pelkas with a bicyclekick almost but their keeper saves it.

[PaokCT]

And now a wonder save by Pavlenka 

[Dutch Eagle]

Huge save Pavlenka. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Taison yellow after some fighting here and there after he was brutally fouled.

[pash]

Can anyone explain to me the logic of...when you have one minute left to play and you need to score...why you'd then spend the next two minutes arguing and trying NOT to play? What a WONDERFUL end to that stupid game.
