On Thursday, the city derby was played in the Greek league, featuring Panathinaikos against AEK. After the recent defeat against PAOK, who leads the table, the match was of crucial importance for the club with three Slovenians. Another loss would have put them in a very unfavorable position in the title race. However, PAO bounced back and defeated AEK, even though the latter took the lead on the road in the fifth minute through the goal by Croatian Domagoj Vida.
Panathinaikos responded before the end of the first half when Anastasios Bakasetas and Fotis Ioannidis scored twice within a two-minute span. Two Slovenian players featured for the home team, both in the starting lineup. Adam Gnezda Čerin played almost until the end, being substituted by Fatih Terim in the 88th minute. Benjamin Verbič was replaced after an hour of play. Andraž Šporar was not in the squad this time after sustaining a head injury in the match against PAOK.
The club with three Slovenian representatives currently sits in third place in the Greek league standings, trailing PAOK by four points. AEK holds the second position with a three-point lead over today’s opponent, while Olympiakos is fourth with two points fewer than Panathinaikos.
