AEK Athens could only manage a 0-0 draw with PAOK Saloniki today. Dusan Bajevic had this to
say after the match:
We started well in the first 10 minutes and they only deserved the first half. We got the rhythm
of PAOK and did nothing remarkable. In the second half we played better but we had no pace and we
could not do anything.
So, after our incredible win only five days earlier people were expecting similar things from
last nights game. We thought we were going to get it also after building a healthy 3-1 lead with
plenty of time left. The final score? 3-3
One thing was to blame for this result more than anything else.
Well, it wasn't a pretty win, but at the end of they day it was a well deserved three points.
One goal was scored from Djebbour (who was superb today) and two from not Blanco, not Scocco (he
didn't play in the end), not Leonardo, Hersi, or Guerreiro, but.... KAFES!
No videos up yet, I'll get some tomorrow.
First, the story at the front of everyone's minds, the senseless attack on Bajevic.
NBC sports picked up the story from the Reuters service and has it posted here.
Blic, an online English-language Serbian newspaper has the story here.
And, of course, the Scottish Press has picked up on the story since Dundee's fans have to travel
to Athens to support their club in our Europa League match this month.
The draw, which took place in Monaco, is done and AEK find themselves in relatively easy Group G
with Zenit St. Petersburg, RSC Anderlecht and HNK Hajduk Split. Aris, by comparison, will need a
miracle to advance out of Group B, which contains defending champions Atletico Madrid as well as
Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
