The tension was through the roof, the ball hit the crossbar, and the back-and-forth battle at Panthessaliko ended in a draw!
In a match that had two distinct phases, Atromitos looked set to cruise to victory, but Heraklis, with sheer tenacity and the right tactical moves by Matsari, equalized at 1-1 and came close to a comeback in stoppage time (90’+7′), but Marquez’s goal was disallowed for a foul following a VAR review, and the two teams settled for a draw in this Stoiximan Super League Matchday 4 fixture.
Tsiloulis put Atromitos ahead—a team that remains winless—while Marquez equalized the match, with both teams hitting the crossbar once each via Tsouber and Nize. Referee Katopis handed out plenty of cards, and rightly so, as it was a very physical match.
Atromitos will host Kifisia in the next matchday, while Heraklis faces a tough away game as they travel to “Vikelidis” Stadium for the Thessaloniki derby against Aris.
