The appointment given by Iliopoulos with the referees - He apologized at the end

Before the AEK - Levadiakos match, Marios Iliopoulos, the owner of AEK, had an unusual appointment with the referees. After coordinating with Levadiakos, Iliopoulos requested to welcome the referees a quarter of an hour before the start of the match, talking to them and stating that UEFA had been informed about the game. He also expressed complaints about a controversial penalty in a previous match. After AEK's 4-0 victory, Iliopoulos apologized to the referee, calling him a "great referee".
