AEK's Victory Over Panathinaikos 'Erases' Fine

AEK achieved an impressive 4-0 victory over Panathinaikos in the derby, following their recent elimination from the Cup. The team's president, Marios Iliopoulos, had imposed a fine of €400,000 on the players, which would be waived if the team achieved three consecutive wins. Domagoj Vida, with a playful gesture, asked Iliopoulos to cancel the fine, and the president responded with laughter. This victory brought AEK back to the top of the Super League, alongside PAOK.
