Gilberto helps Pana to 1-0 win vs. Inter
November 26, 2008
Gilberto has helped Panathinaikos beat Inter 1-0 at the San Siro! There’s a full match review from Goal.com (click), or here are the key informations:
It’s a Pana stunner in Milan, where Henk Ten Cate’s Greek outfit have earned a shock 1-0 win in against the Serie A champions
Panathinaikos has turned Group B on its head with a stunning UEFA Champions League victory in Italy, where the unfancied Greeks scored a deserved 1-0 win over Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan.
It was a reminder of the gulf in class between the two sides that was perhaps not so conspicuous, given the resolve of Ten Cate’s men and the inability for Mourinho’s team to break them down consistently.
In fact, with the Athenians growing in confidence with the ball at their feet – just as they had done during a stunning win in Germany last matchday – they fashioned their first real chance of the match on fifteen minutes.
Appropriate perhaps that it arrived from a set-piece, with the Greeks not looking capable of posing a concerted attacking threat in open play given their defensive predisposition.
A Karagounis free-kick dropped to former Arsenal man Gilberto Silva in the box, who saw his close-range effort blocked before fellow countryman Gabriel wasted a wonderful opportunity from the rebound.
Go Bert!
