Match26 Dec 2026
The wait goes on for Atromitos
14 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Lefteris Choutesiotis breaks a bone — 76 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 76 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Age has not caught Steven Zuber yet — 7.83
At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.83 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Tempers go at Atromitos
Karol Świderski was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A row about effort at Atromitos
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Steven Zuber was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Karol Świderski runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Mansur gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Two points walk out of the ground
Level with 88 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Atromitos had all but put away. Panetolikos will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

A promise honoured for Jere Uronen
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Atromitos told Jere Uronen something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
In brief
- Match Honours even between Atromitos and Panetolikos
- The dugout The manager’s verdict
