2 – 2
“Milán Pető broke the deadlock for Paksi SE, putting the visitors ahead after a spell of sustained pressure that had already seen his left-footed effort saved moments earlier. The away goal shifted the aggregate dynamic significantly.”
Pivotal“Adriano Jagusic levelled for Panathinaikos on the stroke of half-time, restoring parity on the night and settling nerves for the hosts after Paksi SE had threatened to extend their lead.”
Pivotal“Milán Győrfi restored Paksi SE's lead on the night just after the hour mark, converting an assist from Mario Zeke to make it 1-2. With Panathinaikos needing to score twice to progress at that stage, the goal ramped up the pressure enormously.”
Pivotal“Substitute Elmin Rastoder delivered the moment Panathinaikos needed, rising to convert from a corner to make it 2-2 on the night and secure progression 4-3 on aggregate. The goal, set up by a relentless final quarter of corner kicks, ended any lingering doubt about who would advance.”

Outstanding performance
Paksi SE•AttackerPanathinaikos dominated possession and territory throughout, controlling 71% of the ball and generating 20 shots, yet it was Paksi SE who twice led on the night through clinical counter-attacking football. The Hungarian visitors struck first through Milán Pető just before the half-hour mark and regained the lead after Adriano Jagusic had briefly restored parity for the hosts, with Milán Győrfi converting a well-worked move assisted by Mario Zeke on 57 minutes. Panathinaikos, despite their overwhelming statistical dominance — 87 dangerous attacks to Paksi SE's 34 — were repeatedly frustrated by a well-drilled Paksi backline that registered 23 tackles and five saves from their goalkeeper. It took substitute Elmin Rastoder, arriving from a corner in the 85th minute, to finally level proceedings on the night and confirm Panathinaikos's progression 4-3 on aggregate, a result that underlines both their European ambitions and the stubborn resilience that made Paksi SE a genuine threat across both legs.
