PAOK owner Savvidis charges field after goal against AEK disallowed
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The match between PAOK Thessaloniki and AEK Athens for the Greek Super League at Toumba stadium was temporarily stopped after the referee and his assistants deliberated whether to allow or disallow a PAOK goal in the 90th minute of the match.
The goal was scored by Fernando Varela, but the assistant judged another PAOK player who was in an offside position was obstructing the goalkeeper’s vision. The match was 0-0 until the moment of the stoppage.
PAOK Thessaloniki owner and president Ivan Savvidis was seen entering the playing field escorted by some bodyguards with a firearm attached to his waist belt. PAOK officials ran onto the ground after referee Kominis disallowed a goal by Varela in the added time of the match against league leaders AEK Athens.
Immediately after Ivan Savvidi's invasion of the field, the referee and his supervisors left. Now, the fate of the match remains to be announced ...
Also, according to what the "yellow-black" football club officially says, Savvidis said the following to the referee Kominis: "You are a dead man!" At the same time, AEK officially says that in the Toumpa changing rooms there was pressure from the side of PAOK towards Kominis to count the goal from there!
Currently, AEK Athens are on the top of the table with 54 points followed by PAOK, who have 52 points after the appeals committee of the football federation granted the Thessaloniki club the 3 points it had lost due to an incident in the derby with Olympiakos.
