Both of them Afonso Sambú's — 8.44
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.44, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

No sign of nerves from Carlos Meotti at 21 — 8.17
The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Carlos Meotti did not need any: 8.17, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

A one-man rearguard from Petar Petrov
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Aleksandar Todorov ran the middle of the pitch — 7.43
He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 16 combined actions and a mark of 7.43, and not one of them will make a highlights package.

Tempers go at Sportist Svoge
Aleksandar Todorov 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.

Panathinaikos tell Sportist Svoge: Giorgos Sokos is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Christ Longville falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Sportist Svoge supporters have found a favourite in Carlos Meotti
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Carlos Meotti has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
