Volos – Panaitolikos 0-0: Thessalians Lose Ground in Super League Playoffs

The much-anticipated match between Volos and Panaitolikos ended in a 0-0 draw at the Panthessalian Stadium during the second competitive playoff game of the Super League. This result is a setback for the home team, which now finds itself in the penultimate position, below the relegation zone. Volos was eager to secure all three points after their double loss against Athens Kallithea. Despite having opportunities, including a late free-kick by Juanpi, they couldn’t find the winning goal. The Thessalians are now one point behind Athens Kallithea and will need significant victories in the upcoming playoffs to remain in the league. Meanwhile, the Agrinio team maintains its lead in the standings alongside Levadeiakos, staying safely away from the danger zone. A key moment occurred just two minutes into the game when Tetteh was fouled inside the box by Kalogeropoulos. Initially, referee Polychronis awarded a penalty, but after VAR intervention, he reviewed the play and changed his decision, ruling it as an offensive foul. The first half saw two promising attempts by Volos’ Conte and Lamprou, though neither troubled Tsaves significantly. Similarly, the second half lacked intensity, with Panaitolikos threatening only once through Miguel Louis’s long-range shot in the 66th minute. In the closing stages, Volos pushed hard for a win but were unlucky when Tsaves saved Juanpi’s direct free-kick with the help of the post.
