The match was attended by our side’s President Mr. Vaggelis Marinakis; it is also worth mentioning that this impressive win coincided with Mr. Michel’s 51st birthday.
In 3’, Perez pressed on Tzanakakis who was forced to return the ball back to Stojković. Valdez was quick to understand his intentions, intercepted swiftly the ball and netted with a smooth touch past the hosts’ goalkeeper for our side’s opener! In fact, even before the match was 10 minutes old, the Legend made it 2-0. Valdez, following a 1-2 combo with Sepovic, entered the penalty box only to meet with the Serbian’s feed and easily register his own and the side’s second in 9’!
Minutes later, Nelson Valdez scored its hat-trick in 13’. Samaris passed superbly to the Paraguayan striker, who had no difficulty making it 3-0 for the Legend with a fine touch! In 31’ Sepovic and Perez worked together, the Paraguayan entered the box and Tzanakakis took him down; referee Mitsios called for the penalty, that Campbell took on in 32’ and made it 4-0!
The hosts cut their deficit in 1-4 in 55’ courtesy of Ibrahim.
