OFI had it all yesterday in Heraklion: total dominance, stages, stats, but Atromitos, in the only opportunity given to him, was the one to score a goal in a 0-1 win that puts him back in the fight for a spot in Super League 1’s preferred six. The Peristerians, closing the corridors of their site well and withstanding the onslaught, allow any attempts of the hosts to “extinguish” outside it and with 18 points scored, now they are at -4 from the sixth Martian rating.

In the first half, Atromitos left control to the hosts and scored in the 43rd minute with a goal from Swede Erlingmark close to the penalty area. The Cretans could only take the lead in the 10th minute with Dikosh, whose long-range shot by Gianniotis was hardly blocked for a corner.

The second half started at the same pace. The hosts scored in the 51st minute with Vurosh, who was offside, and in the 65th minute, Diko’s shot was blocked by the opponent’s left goal post. The second round of the championship, which began with the “wanderings” of Panathinaikos and Olympiacos against Ionikos and PAS Ioannina, at least portends a transfer impulse for the Eternals. At Clover, the need became clear at Nice due to the injuries that Ivan Jovanovic had to deal with. The winger and full-time midfielder are priorities to provide immediate solutions in a difficult month like January. According to reports from Turkey, Piraeus has reached an agreement with Aris for the acquisition of Mancini and wants the return of 29-year-old Congolese Artur Mazouaku to cover left-back in six years.

On the contrary, AEK sees in the person of Tom Van Firth, who scored two of three goals against Lamia, the person who will decide the scoring decisions, releasing Levia Garcia and Araujo.
