Official Cup

GR. PANTHERS ARENA
Spectators: 206 (Terracing: 155, Seating: 47, VIP seats: 4) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Lionel-Andrés Messi took the kick off in the first half of the match. Jason Statham took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sotiris Zacharakis, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 18 minutes had been played when some careless play by GREEN PANTHERS FC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Petros Mirtsos was slow to take the kick. During this time ΠΑΟΚ FC's players had a chance to rest. Björn Kamp hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. Özbek Samet didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Vinícius Junior went, in the 21st minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. After some careless play in the GREEN PANTHERS FC defense, Zheng Yang Zhen kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jason Statham. The GREEN PANTHERS FC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jason Statham should have stopped the shot. Özbek Samet showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Vinícius Junior, who was totally free with the ball in the 34th minute. 37 minutes into the match, GREEN PANTHERS FC's goal looked a bit too open when Sotiris Zacharakis came free, but Jason Statham reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 37 minutes into the match, Sotiris Zacharakis notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of GREEN PANTHERS FC's Jason Statham. Jason Statham was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Vinícius Junior sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 45th minute the ball was on its way in behind GREEN PANTHERS FC's goalkeeper Jason Statham, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Zheng Yang Zhen was the one to do the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Zheng Yang Zhen in the 56th minute of play forced GREEN PANTHERS FC's goalkeeper Jason Statham to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 58 minutes into the match, ΠΑΟΚ FC's goal looked a bit too open when Sotiris Alexandropoulos came free, but Özbek Samet reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 59 played minutes ΠΑΟΚ FC got a freekick which was hit by Aşır Satılmış. 63 minutes into the match, ΠΑΟΚ FC's Zheng Yang Zhen sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jason Statham narrowly saved just below the crossbar. ΠΑΟΚ FC's Savas Karameris was substituted for Aşır Satılmış. GREEN PANTHERS FC made a substitution. Ivars Lodīte replaced Coronel Fuster. ΠΑΟΚ FC's Vassilis Bitsikas was substituted for Theofanis Klotsobounidas. In the 69th minute of the game Savas Karameris made a throw-in which Cristo Rolado played forward. Jason Statham stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Sotiris Zacharakis's shot from short distance in the 74th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 78th minute, Sotiris Zacharakis managed to get in a good position for a shot. ΠΑΟΚ FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Sotiris Zacharakis was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jason Statham breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. GREEN PANTHERS FC's Stefanos Rigopoulos was substituted for Lionel-Andrés Messi. If Sotiris Zacharakis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 83rd minute Stefanos Rigopoulos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Özbek Samet saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 84th minute, Sotiris Zacharakis got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Edinho de Queirós made in the 87th minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Humberto Vidal however managed to control. Zheng Yang Zhen could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 88th minute of the match, but Jason Statham made a huge save. Özbek Samet made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ivars Lodīte in the 92nd minute of play. The ΠΑΟΚ FC supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing ΠΑΟΚ FC would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
