Asteras Tripolis
Panaitolikos secured a crucial 3-1 victory over Asteras Tripolis in what proved to be a match-defining second half performance. The home side took an early lead through Alexandru Mățan's 19th-minute strike, but Asteras responded with composure through Julián Bartolo's penalty just before halftime to level proceedings. The turning point came after the interval when Youssouph Badji restored Panaitolikos' advantage in the 64th minute, before substitute Kosta Aleksic sealed the victory with a well-taken goal just ten minutes after entering the fray. This result will provide vital breathing room for Panaitolikos in their battle against relegation, while Asteras Tripolis will be left to rue their inability to build on their first-half equalizer in what became a costly away defeat.
