“Challenge” with elbows from Amrabad, Yellow and Jung…

AEK were lucky in the way they found their way to the three points in yesterday's derby. But he also owes… thanks to referee Matej Jong. The Slovenian who turned a blind eye in several stages as the difficult play of the home team could easily have led to another administration in the disciplinary part: or other numerical engagements on the pitch.

Noureddine Amrabat's elbow towards David Carmo, for example, in the 53rd minute, with the Moroccan obtaining this strange “immunity” for the umpteenth time. And not only…

In the 34th minute, Simanski pulled Kostas Fortounis off the shirt, who carried out a counterattack, but the AEK captain did not see the card properly and continued the same play, and he did the same thing to the Olympiacos captain again in the 58th minute. Where he should have received a second yellow card, the Pole received the first.

Livia Garcia “fell” on the field at least two or three times in an attempt to confuse the referee. In one of them, in the 50th minute, he “fell” to get a penalty kick. But he didn't see the yellow card for “theater” there either.

Olympiacos dominated the match. He was the one who had the possession and the chances, but the yellow cards were 5 against him (Potens 38, Tsikinio 41, Ritsos 57, Fortunis 74, Rodini 81) and only two for AEK (Ruta 52). , Szymanski (58') Eliasson's goal (he was also punished with a yellow card for his celebration).

This also played its role. Ritsos, for example, in the goal phase appeared to be one tap away from Eliasson precisely to avoid receiving a second yellow card.
