Gilberto cleared of own goal in 1-0 Pana loss
December 4, 2009
Panathinaikos played Turkish side Galatasaray away last night, and Pana lost 1-0. Gilberto was initially given an own goal, but as Goal.com’s match report says,
Just five minutes into the second half, Galatasaray deservedly took the lead. Arda curled in a freekick from the left which the Greeks failed to clear and the ball dropped kindly for Sarp who drilled in the loose ball past a wrong-footed Tzorvas’s after taking a wicked deflection off Gilberto, but match officials did not credit it as an own goal.
According to this player-rating report,
Gilberto: 6.5 – Can’t be faulted for his own goal which caught him by surprise. Linked up well with Rukavina near the end with a fine through ball which deserved better.
Oh deary me. Never mind.
