Fotis Ioannidis Shines and Struggles in Olympiacos – Panathinaikos Derby

Fotis Ioannidis was one of the central figures in the intense derby match between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos at the ‘G. Karaiskakis’ stadium. The Greek international forward left a significant mark on the game, scoring a crucial penalty to reduce the deficit to 3-2. However, his night took a dramatic turn when he clashed with Rodrigo Rontinei and was eventually sent off late in the game for an illegal tackle on Babis Kostoulas, who was running through on goal. Ioannidis exited the pitch under heavy criticism from fans and will also miss the crucial match against AEK Athens at OAKA (06/04, 21:30) during the second phase of the Super League playoffs.
