Nikoslaidis Criticizes Refereeing Decisions in Aris-AEK Match

Demis Nikolaidis commented on the controversial moments of the Aris – AEK match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. While he avoided commenting on the corner decision that led to Aris's goal, he expressed the opinion that Gentsen's goal should have been disallowed. Conversely, he expressed his confusion about the disallowance of Doutou's goal for Aris, a decision that sparked strong reactions. Nikolaidis's position focuses on the injustice suffered by Aris, according to his view, at two critical moments in the match.
