Panathinaikos – AEK 2-0: Won the derby with Tetteh and Antino and remained at the top
Panathinaikos defeated AEK 2-0 at OAKA for the 9th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League and remained alone at the top of the standings.
The "Greens" scored at the beginning of each half with Tetteh and Antino, had two shots hit the post, and maintained their lead despite Kangua's sending off in the 70th minute. Jacob Nystrup's team reached six consecutive wins in the championship, ending AEK's unbeaten run this season.
Lead from the first minute and two shots on goal
The derby started ideally for Panathinaikos, who opened the scoring before the first minute was completed. Antino stole the ball high up and fed Tetteh, who with a shot from outside the area beat Brignoli for 1-0.
AEK tried to balance through ball circulation, but without creating substantial dangers. On the contrary, the hosts remained threatening and came close to a second goal before the break. Antino hit the crossbar and a little later Levi Garcia hit the right post, with the 1-0 score remaining until the end of the first half.
Antino made it 2-0, Panathinaikos held on with ten men
AEK sought a reaction after returning from the dressing rooms, but Panathinaikos quickly found the net again. In the 49th minute, Kyriakopoulos passed the ball into space for Antino, who moved from the left, converged into the area and with an accurate finish made it 2-0.
AEK threatened in the 64th minute with a powerful shot from Zini, but Peña saved. In the 70th minute, the hosts were left with ten players, as Kangua received a direct red card after a VAR review of the phase. The numerical advantage did not change the outcome, with Panathinaikos maintaining their organization and protecting their lead until the end.
Antino as the protagonist
Antino was the central figure of the derby, being involved in both goals. He created the first with the steal and pass to Tetteh, scored the second, and hit the post in the first half. With this victory, Panathinaikos reached 24 points, maintaining a two-point lead over Olympiacos.
