Rastoder's late winner
Elmin Rastoder flicked a low cross from Kyriakopoulos into the net with his heel in the 89th minute, handing Panathinaikos a 2-1 win over Aris at the OAKA stadium. Most reports put the goal at 89 minutes, though one headline gives 90. Aris had levelled at 1-1 in the 65th minute, and the goal settled a League Phase match that had looked headed for a share of the points. Panathinaikos, with three wins from three matches, rise to nine points. Aris stay on four.
Early lead and the first half
Panathinaikos took the lead in the 10th minute. Louza found space behind the Aris defence with a vertical pass, and Kontouris went past goalkeeper Velio with a feint before finishing into the net. The hosts came close again at 40 minutes, when Louza sent another long ball in behind the defence and Pelistri's header went wide. Aris threatened late in the half, and Penya saved a shot from Miri at 44 minutes. The first half ended 1-0 in favour of the home side.
Aris strike back
Aris came out with more energy after the break, and Antinó missed a big chance at 59 minutes. Papasarafianos had headed just over the bar earlier in the second half. At 65 minutes Kanteveri equalised for the visitors. Sources credit the move to a mistake by Tsirivegias, after which Aris moved the ball well, and Papasarafianos set up Kanteveri for the finish. The equaliser pushed Panathinaikos to regain the lead, and Livai Garcia threatened twice.
The winning goal
With time running out, Kyriakopoulos delivered a low cross into the area, and Rastoder struck with his heel to make it 2-1. Velio stopped Rastoder at 91 minutes, and Fabiano had a late chance to equalise for Aris at 93 minutes but did not score. The goal lifted the OAKA crowd and gave Panathinaikos a valuable win. The timeline below shows the three goals in order.
