Nistrup: "Unacceptable to concede two goals like that"
Panathinaikos are through to the third qualifying round of the Conference League, but Jakob Nistrup was not smiling. The 2–2 draw at home against Paks, following the 2–1 away win, was enough, and the aggregate scoreline says job done. The first half said something else entirely.
"All of us have dreams, but it is unacceptable to concede two goals like that. It's good that we are in the next round," Nistrup said after the match (4). He also pointed to the absence of VAR in the qualifying rounds, a detail that clearly rankled (4).
The tie turned into a thriller that the bench had to rescue (3).
Rastönter: "I could have scored a second"
The man who stepped up was Rastönter. He called it a great joy afterwards and added that he could have grabbed a second goal on the night (1).
Greek coefficient gets a double boost
It was a good night for Greece beyond your team. PAOK also progressed, and both qualifications delivered valuable coefficient points for the country's UEFA ranking (5).
