K19 win the derby 3–1 and sit alone at the top
Panathinaikos K19 3–1 AEK on Saturday, and the youth side are alone at the top of the table (3). A comeback, with the goals coming after the break (3). Your first team play AEK later the same weekend. The academy got there first.
AEK at OAKA, 18:30, and the stakes are big
Dionysis Desyllas laid out what a win does for you: "Αναμένονται περισσότεροι από 40.000 οπαδοί στο ΟΑΚΑ. Μια πιθανή νίκη θα έχει πολλαπλά οφέλη, καθώς θα ολοκληρωθούν τα ντέρμπι του πρώτου γύρου και οι βασικοί αντίπαλοί του για τον τίτλο θα έχουν κι άλλα ντέρμπι." More than 40,000 expected at OAKA, and a win closes out your first-round derbies while your title rivals still have theirs to play (2). Desyllas also flagged that spots in Nistrup's XI are still open (2). Form: L W W W W, second on 21 points with a +14 goal difference.
Peña has earned it, and €5m is the number
Iñaki Peña has won Jakob Nistrup's trust. Panathinaikos can sign him permanently for €5m and have a resale on the table (1).
What comes next
CSKA Sofia at home in the Conference League on Thursday, then Iraklis away on Sunday 8 November. You go into that run off three straight wins: 2–1 over Borac Banja Luka, 5–1 over Asteras Tripoli, and 1–5 at Kairat Almaty.
