Kifisia took all three points at Peristeri Stadium on Saturday, beating Atromitos 2-1 in the fifth round of the Super League 1. The visitors grabbed an early lead through Jorge Pombo before Samuel Moutoussamy equalised for the hosts, and Pombo restored Kifisia's advantage from the penalty spot. The result moves Kifisia up to ninth while Atromitos remain stuck on two points in eleventh.
Atromitos started brighter and dominated possession, but Kifisia's structure held firm through the opening half. Pombo broke the deadlock in the sixty-third minute, catching the home defence off guard. Moutoussamy dragged the hosts level just twelve minutes later, his drive finding the net after a period of sustained pressure.
And here's the thing about the penalty decision at eighty-three minutes — Seedy Jagne went down in the box and the referee pointed to the spot. Pombo stepped up and made no mistake, slotting home to put Kifisia ahead for good. Atromitos threw bodies forward after that, but Kifisia dug in and held on grimly through the closing stages.
The statistics tell a story of control without conversion. Atromitos enjoyed 53 per cent of the ball and registered five shots on target, yet only managed one goal. Kifisia created fewer chances but were sharper, converting two of their three efforts on target. The visitors also won more aerial duels and made more clearances, suggesting they were happy to absorb pressure.
By then, the table reflected what had played out on the pitch. Atromitos sit second from bottom with two points from five games, having lost three of their last five league matches. Kifisia sit above them in ninth with five points, though their recent form has been patchy — three defeats in their last five fixtures before this victory.
