The game of this evening was a good start for the team of Panathinaikos. As it turns out the strict measures taken by Nikos Nioplias and threats that whoever does not give 100% of him at the course has no place on it are working.

Over the next few minutes the course became a battlefield .... Chances started to "pour" one after another. After a pass of the ball by Garcia Leto sent the ball towards the goal post of Mahos. For a moment the danger was hanging in the air, but then again the ball came out. A minute after this Riera proceed to a counterattack. Dzorvas, however saved the ball with ease. In the 33rd minute close to scoring a goal was also Cisse, but Mahos had a final say again. Very good chance to score the greens had at the 39th minute when Cisse proceed again with an attack. Latka, however, took the ball from the French forward and saved his team ...
