In a lackluster performance, Panathinaikos managed to secure only a 1-1 draw against AEL in front of their home crowd at Leoforos Stadium. The first half was particularly challenging for Panathinaikos, who failed to create any significant scoring opportunities while AEL was able to maintain a composed defense, threatening only a few times with their own shots.

AEL took the lead early in the second half when Toupas scored on a counter-attack, shocking the home fans. It wasn't until the 67th minute that Panathinaikos found a way to equalize, with Bakasetas’ long-range shot finally beating AEL's goalkeeper, Anagnostopoulos. The match showcased the struggles of Panathinaikos, who, despite salvaging a point, left the field underwhelmed by their performance and concerned about their current form.

This match serves as a crucial indicator of Panathinaikos’ challenges this season, revealing vulnerabilities in both offense and defense. With fans expecting more from the team, the results raise questions about the team's preparedness and tactical execution as they move forward in their campaign.
