Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Olympiako Stadio Spyros Louis. Ninety minutes of football awaits between PAE AEK and VfL Wolfsburg.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. PAE AEK is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' PAE AEK started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 16' Emanuel Insua has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 16.
  • 19' Xaver Schlager is having his name booked by the referee on 19.
  • 22' Maxence Lacroix has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 22.
  • 27' Over 27 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 32' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Levi Garcia suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' Panagiotis Tsintotas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 42' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 46' What a moment for Admir Mehmedi! That strike on 45 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 51' PAE AEK seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 56' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 61' Time for substitution for VfL Wolfsburg. Xaver Schlager is replaced by Yannick Gerhardt.
  • 63' The PAE AEK manager makes a substitution. Petros Mantalos departs to be replaced by Marko Livaja.
  • 64' Andre Simoes adds to his 0 season tally! PAE AEK lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 69' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 74' VfL Wolfsburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 79' Bartosz Bialek is ready to make an impact after coming on for Josip Brekalo at the 79 minute mark.
  • 81' It is a substitution in PAE AEK team. Levi Garcia is replaced by Theodosios Machairas on 81 minute.
  • 86' VfL Wolfsburg is showing some good football. However, VfL Wolfsburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 87' Karim Ansarifard has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nelson Oliveira on 87 minute.
  • 89' Poor challenge from Andre Simoes. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 90' The referee shows PAE AEK player a Yellow card on 90.
  • With this win, PAE AEK is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
