AEK faced initial challenges in breaking down the defensive setup of Panserraikos but eventually triumphed with a convincing 4-0 scoreline in their recent Super League match. The encounter, which was part of the 20th matchday, saw AEK struggle to penetrate the hosts' defenses until the latter stages of the game, with the score remaining 1-0 until the 89th minute.

The game started with AEK taking control, but they found it difficult to create clear chances against the well-organized defense of Panserraikos. The first half ended in a stalemate at 0-0, reflecting AEK's difficulties in finding the net. The breakthrough came in the 55th minute when Varga scored with a header, following a lengthy review for a potential offside, which ultimately confirmed the goal.

As AEK awaits the outcomes of the evening's matches involving Olympiakos and PAOK at two different venues, they currently sit at the top of the league table, even if only temporarily. With PAOK having a game in hand, the implications of AEK's victory are significant, as they seek to maintain or extend their lead in the league in the coming weeks.
