Tetei needed 34 seconds
Panathinaikos 2–0 AEK Athens at the Olympic Stadium, and the derby was over almost before it started. Andreas Tetei scored after 34 seconds, the fastest goal ever in a Panathinaikos–AEK derby (2). AEK came in unbeaten in 31 matches. They leave having lost the derby, and your team is back on top of the Super League (3)(6).
That goal was Tetei's 10th in the Super League for Panathinaikos and his 15th in all competitions (2).
Antino danced the tango
Santino Antino got the second goal, and the write-up was blunt: a great, clean and completely deserved win against the champions (3). Official channels went with one word, dominant (4).

Nistrup broke the first half in three
Kostas Vaimakis picked out the tactical side of it: Jacob Nistrup split the first half into three pieces, and Panathinaikos looked tactically mature against AEK (8). Pavlos Papadimitriou pointed at the same coach, saying the role Nistrup gave Tetei lifts the whole team (9).
A show with one actor
Nikos Athanasiou did not hedge. "A show with one actor from Panathinaikos. They were superior for most of the match, the greens wanted it badly, they played on their own in the first half" (7). He also flagged Kangoua's sending off (7).
Nistrup and Antino
After the second goal there was a moment between Nistrup and Antino, the MVP of the derby, that stood out from everything else at the stadium (1).
