AEK defeated Panathinaikos with two goals

The goals for AEK were scored by Leonardo (48.) And Clonaridis (71.).

Panathinaikos may have been the team that wanted the match the most, but its players did not show that in the first half. On the contrary, AEK had more control in the first half, creating two good phases in front of Carnezi's home.

Initially, Sialma's shot from outside the area found Marino's body and, after hitting the horizontal bar, he passed a corner.

During this period, the "greens" did not threaten Konstantopoulos and they were very difficult in their development with AEK pushing high in the defense of Panathinaikos.

The first forty-five minutes ended with the best opportunity for AEK to take the lead in the 45th minute, when, after a misunderstanding between Spyropoulos and Quincy, Georges gave Vargas, he "served"… half a goal to Leonardo, whose place in the "heart" of the small area left out.

Good morning… Leonardo

The second half started with an opportunity for the "clover", but immediately after that came the goal of AEK to change the balances.

Before the first minute, from Zeka's pass, Katsouranis caught the strong shot from inside the area and Konstantopoulos repulsed with a double effort.

However, the goal came for AEK in 48΄. Leonardo's long-range foul surprised Carnezi, who did not manage to react, with the ball ending up in the net for 1-0.

Having no options, the "greens" came out en masse in the attack, trying unorthodoxly to reach a draw.

What they should have done from the first minute, they did after the goal they conceded, but it was too late.

Besides, out of the six matches in which Panathinaikos was behind the score (with today's), only one won (with Panionios in Nea Smyrni, 1-2).

Finally, Klonaridis "sealed" the "three-pointer" of AEK in 71 στο, with the result that "Dikefalos" celebrated the victory after three games.

AEK (Nikos Kostenoglou): Konstantopoulos, Kafes (66΄ Lagos), Kontoes, Manolas, Leonardo, Sialmas (64΄ Klonaridis), Makos, Karabelas, Vargas, Georgeas, Lymperopoulos (76΄ Belek).
