SOUTHAMPTON 1-1 PANATHINAIKOS
new £1.6million signing rudi scakel was unveiled to a rapturous applause before the game, and kelvin davis, pele and trialist mario licka started.
ricardo fuller muscled into the box before being upended, however no penalty was given, fuller seemed to be causing problems to the greeks with his brute force and could have scored after forcing his way through, but had a tame shot saved.
trialist mario licka was showing some good sharpness, and after 30 mins was mullered by a greek player and had to be replaced by david prutton, he had already seemed to do enough to earn a contract.
kenwyne jones was making some good flicks and headers but these were to of little effect, he did get one chance but his shot was weak, after he had made a good run.
panathinaikos came out in the second half more focused and papadoupolous had 2 good chances met with very good saves by new goalie kelvin davis, davis was looking quality in all areas.. claiming crosses, kicking, throwing, saving etc.
saints had a corner and the ball was layed back to DAVID PRUTTON who calmy stuck into the bottom right hand corner from around 22 yards.
andrew surman created a chance for rasiak who had a header saved before a corner was met by a very firm rasiak header, but it was spectacularly headed off the line.
bradley wright phillips came on and was making some good runs but these were to little effect, david prutton seemed to be covering the pitch very well, making tackles and passes alot.
debutant pele was having a very solid game in defence and almost added a goal from a header but this was headed off the line.
but saints were begged back when ROMERO ran down the wing, but sliced a cross unintentionally and it floated over davis' head and clipped the post before going in! the greek player's celebration was one of surprise but he was still happy to score.
the game ended 1-1, and their were strong performances from gareth bale, claus lundekvam, pele and chris baird in defence and kelvin davis in goal. david prutton had a good game, and ricardo fuller caused problems, rasiak looked bright and mario licka would be a good signing, rudi scakel will add some flair and overall the chances for next season look positive.
