Andraž Šporar has recently been in the spotlight, mainly due to his anticipated departure from Greece and his rumored desire to return to Slovan from Bratislava. However, on Sunday, he once again made headlines on the football field. The 30-year-old Slovenian international Slovenia scored his first goal in the 2024/25 season of the Greek league, proving that it would be a mistake to write him off.
Panathinaikos faced APO Levadiakos in Athens, a team that signed Alen Ožbolt from Israel this summer, and won 1-0. The match was dramatic, with the only goal coming in the 96th minute. That’s when Andraž Šporar made his mark, scoring with a precise right-footed shot that finally overcame the Hungarian goalkeeper David Grof, who had made four saves during the match.
Andraž Šporar started the game on the bench, with coach Diego Alonso bringing him on in the 60th minute. It took him just over half an hour to score his first goal of the season. Adam Gnezda Čerin played for PAO until the 76th minute, Benjamin Verbič was not in the squad, and Alen Ožbolt was on the pitch until the 60th minute.
