After two league games of rest, Slovenian national team midfielder Adam Gnezda Čerin, who has been struggling with an injury lately, returned to wearing the Panathinaikos jersey, but the club from Athens suffered its second consecutive defeat nonetheless. Days ago, PAO first fell in the cup, at home against Atromitos (1:2, with the return leg yet to be played), and now they suffered a painful loss away to Thessaloniki.
Panathinaikos visited PAOK, the former club of Jasmin Kurtić, and lost 1:2. The hero for the home team was Kiril Despodov, who missed a penalty in Stožice this summer and gave Olimpija a chance in Europe. The former Ludogorets player scored both goals for the Thessaloniki club, against which Adam Gnezda Čerin played in the second half.
Fatih Terim, the new Panathinaikos coach, sent the Slovenian international onto the field at the beginning of the second half, and Adam Gnezda Čerin then played a decent game. He touched the ball 35 times, didn’t have a shot, and his passing accuracy was 86%. SofaScore gave him a rating of 6.6.
Panathinaikos, without Andraž Šporar and Benjamin Verbič (both expected to rest for another week), suffered its fourth defeat in the Greek league, trailing PAOK, the league leader, by three points. Second is AEK, the club of Žiga Lacić, with a one-point lead over the green-whites. Olympiakos is fourth, six points ahead of PAOK.
