AEK 2-1 on Mars and only in second place ATHENS 9,84 – 9.84

Third match with Argyris Giannikis on the bench and an equal number of victories for AEK that prevailed on Mars in the big match of the 8th game of the Super League with 2-1.

Thus, the "Union" returned to the 2nd place in the point by the champion Olympiakos. The match was quality with a very good rhythm. The hosts tried to surprise but Mandalo's fish head was blocked by Cuesta and after an awkward shot Rota shot high.

Aris then took the ball with Bertoglio, Gama and Ganea forcing Stankovic to save.

The Austrian goalkeeper assisted by Mitoglou (key for the 3rd match) who made saves against Bertoglio kept zero, with the young defender scoring his maiden goal as an AEK player in the 16th minute with a one-piece shot after a foul by Manta.

And after Brabets had a header after a corner (23 ) AEK reached the 2nd goal playing its favorite game of counterattacks.

Chuber found Mandalos and Brabets's marking inside the area was considered a violation (also by the VAR) with the result that the AEK leader made it 2-0 from the penalty spot.

In the replay, the image of the match did not change until 71 when the yellow card shown by the referee for pulling the attacking Kamara, by Mitoglou, turned red after VAR surgery and study of the video.

Two minutes later, the Thessalonians took advantage of their numerical advantage by reducing with a header by Mateo Garcia.

However, despite the pressure until the end, having opportunities with Mancini and Sasha (96 ), the guests did not find the equalizer.
