Panathinaikos faced his first defeat on the 4th round of Super League Greece play-offs. This result brings our team to the 3rd place with 7 points, as AEK has 8 and PAOK is on the top with 10 points.
At the same time, Marcus Berg who saw a yellow card by the referee has now completed 10 yellows, meaning that playoffs competition finished too early for him. Besides, Lucas Villafanez was sent off at 45’+2’ min. with a red card and he will miss the two next matches. For sure, the referee Mr. Michalis Koukoulakis had a few controversial decisions.
Our team was very soon behind the score (5’). Lod missed two good chances and Berg scored but his goal was cancelled as he was charged with foul. In the 40’ min. AEK scored again. In the second half the “Shamrock” played with more determination and pressure to the opponent and scored a goal with Leto’s close -range header in the 54’. Finally, in the 69’ Barbosa scored one more goal and the match actually finished there.
