OFI drew 0-0 with Atromitos at Pankritio, for the 10th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League.
OFI drew 0-0 with Atromitos at Pankritio, for the 10th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League. The Cretans had control and the most significant chances, but failed to beat the excellent Houtesiotis and missed the opportunity to get even closer to the top four.
Control without goals for OFI
Christos Kontis' team took the initiative early on, but struggled to find clear paths against Atromitos' organized defense. In the 10th minute, Kondro shot wide, while the most significant moment of the first half came in the 33rd minute, when Fountas shot on the move after Dikman's cross, sending the ball just over the bar.
The Peristeriotes prioritized their defensive function and did not seriously threaten, with the first half ending goalless and with very few good phases.
Kondro's goal disallowed
OFI sent the ball into the net in the 60th minute with Kondro, after a nice pass from Nous. The goal, however, was disallowed after VAR intervention, as a foul by Bouchalakis on Karamanis had preceded the start of the phase.
The entry of Hatzigiovanis made the hosts more offensive. In the 73rd minute, the Greek winger forced Houtesiotis into a significant save, and a few minutes later created the biggest chance of the match. Fountas, however, failed to score with a header from an advantageous position and the 0-0 remained until the end.
