Dead 0-0 in the first
But let’s take things from the beginning and the first half. A half that had few phases and those in front of the home team. Volos was indeed “burning” for the points of victory, but it did not show this on the field with Panserraikos, who had been saved and mathematically before this match had control of the match for the most part.
The first big phase happened in the 6th minute with Kovacs making a nice stop to Aleksic’s header. In fact, this was the biggest phase in the first part. Aleksic was the most threatening player from the visitors but he failed to score and so it remained 0-0 until the end of the half.
A penalty decided everything in Panthessalikos
In the second half, Volos started clearly stronger and tried to threaten, wanting to ensure its stay in the division from today. Everything was decided in the 52nd minute when Zabalas pointed to a penalty for Petavrakis’ hand on Koba’s header. Vergetis called him to the VAR having a different opinion, but Zabalas kept his opinion, awarded the penalty and Garcia hit the target making it 1-0.
A score that the hosts kept with ease until the end and combined with the defeat of Kifissia by PAS Ioannina, they celebrated their stay in the Super League.
The MVP: In a bad overall game that ended 1-0, in the most valuable position we will put Garcia who also scored the only goal of the meeting.
At their height: Kovacs will enter, who in the few times needed was there keeping the precious 0 for his team.
The “weak link”: We wouldn’t say that there is any weak link, in a game where we didn’t enjoy the best spectacle, but we also didn’t see anyone doing worse than others.
The “blunder”: We would have given the penalty, but you will see in the video whether it was there or not. Petavrakis had his back turned, and Zambalas believed that he also had his hand outstretched.
The “stragali”: Zambalas gave a penalty in the phase of Koba with Petavrakis, the VAR called him considering that he was wrong, but he himself decided that it was. A penalty that gave victory to Volos and its stay in the division.
The Gazzetta “treasury”: The fund is as positive as possible for Volos. Voliotes came in nervous, they were bad for most of the first half, but in the second they improved their performance and got the win that keeps them in the division.
