Panathinaikos eliminate Marseille from the Champions League

·

Panathinaikos stunned Marseille on penalties to reach the Champions League play-off round on Tuesday.

The game did not start well for Panathinaikos, as they conceded a goal in just the 2nd minute. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wiped out Panathinaikos’ 1-0 first-leg lead in the third qualifying round with his first Marseille goal at the Stade Velodrome.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona striker completed the turnaround in first-half added time by turning home his second goal from Jonathan Clauss’ low cross.

Panathinaikos versed Marseille in the Champions League.

But there was a late twist, as just seconds after Matteo Guendouzi had seen a strong penalty appeal waved away, the Marseille midfielder was penalised for handball by VAR and Fotis Ioannidis dispatched the resulting 99th-minute spot-kick to force extra time.

Vitinha had a goal ruled out by VAR for an offside against Ismaila Sarr in the build-up as the Greeks held on for penalties.

Filip Mladenovic stroked home the winning penalty as Panathinaikos won the shoot-out 5-3, with goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli’s earlier save from Guendouzi proving crucial.

Panathinaikos will next face Braga, with the winners to secure their first group-stage appearance in over a decade.
