Three years without a win in the European tournament groups was a long time for AEK. The Union beat Zoria 4-1 in Ukraine for the third Europa League game and celebrated the group’s first win, keeping their hopes of qualifying for the next round alive, after Leicester defeated Braga 4- 0.

Great protagonists of AEK are Muamer Tankovic (1 goal, 1 assist) and Marko Livagia (2 goals, 1 assist), who took their team by the hand and led it to a resounding victory. Petros Mandalos, who made the difference in another game, was also close, while despite the loss of Nelson Oliveira before the game due to gastroenteritis, the “yellowish” were not affected.
Now, the Union is -3 from the second Braga and wants to make the 2X2 against Zoria in the Athens match, but also Leicester to make the absolute in the group.
TANKOVIC DID EVERYTHING
AEK entered the field stronger, took the reins and managed to transform their first good moment of the game into a goal. Marco Livagia, who was selected for the attack point by the side of Muammer Tankovic, received the ball in the area, avoided Abu Hana, made the turn, with the ball in Gypsies and paved the way for the Swedish striker, who with a beautiful place defeated Shevchenko 0-1.
Tankovic scored for the second consecutive game in the Europa League, after the goal against Leicester and almost raised the score to 2-0 in the 15th minute, but the Ukrainian goalkeeper denied the infraction at home with a beautiful operation.
After the 15th minute, Zoria climbed meters to the field and looked for a tie, but beyond a few long shots Kochergin, who was the permanent source of danger on the part of the Ukrainian team, did not threaten Panagiotis Tsintotas’ home with claims. The Union gave the ball to its opponent and tried to “hit” on the counterattacks.
ΣWith one of them, Livagia lowered the ball beautifully from a deep pass from Stratos Svarna, collaborated with Tankovic and the Swede from … The executor became a creator, offering the assistance to Petros Mandalos for the 0-2 of AEK .
In fact, the Union leader had another good moment three minutes later and specifically in the 38th minute, but Shevchenko blocked his head firmly. Zoria, obviously influenced by the second goal against them, did not react after a good moment with Kabaev in the 44th minute, which came from a Gromov cross and a bad reaction from Nedelcearo.
LIVAGY OF THE ANTIGUA
The panorama did not change in the second part either. Zoria tried to claim the match again, but AEK took advantage of the gaps and scored a third goal with Livagia in the 54th minute. The Croatian striker went on the counterattack, dodging Abu Hanna and with a nice shot put it 3-0, reminiscent of Livagia of … old times.
Overall, the 27-year-old striker had an excellent image after a while, helping his team to victory. Zoria tried with changes to change the image of the game, but to no avail, with the Union managing the lead in his favor. In the end, the Ukrainian team only managed to reduce with him Kochergin on 81 ‘with a nice shot.
However, the … joy of the Ukrainians lasted for a few seconds, as with the center, AEK reached a fourth goal with Livagia, who got the “rebound” after a shot by Vasilantonopoulos and an unstable rejection by Shevchenko. In the highlight of the night, the return to action of Costas Galanopoulos after almost 11 months.
