A return to victories and also to the top for AEK, who prevailed 3-1 against ENP with a hat-trick by Ivan Triskovski. The “crimson” who were lost in the first part tried to react to the replay and reduced with Ehman but this was not enough to leave the “Arena” with a point gain.
A Part< /strong>
The match started with the AEK footballers entering the field rather hungry.
It wasn't until the 2nd minute that the hosts threatened with Farage getting a header and forcing Kostic to make a difficult save in the corner. Later in the phase, AEK with Englesou opened the scoring with a shot from outside the area, but the goal was disallowed after VAR intervention. Triskovski was exposed and affecting Kostic's field of vision.
This did not stop the AEK footballers since in their next phase they managed to open the scoring in the 9th minute after a cross from Jakolic from the left and a header from Triskovski.
Four minutes later Triskovski scored his second personal goal with a shot from outside the area and the ball went against the leg of an ENP defender and ended up in Kostic's net.
Marinos Sacia's team tried to react after the bad start and slowly started to climb higher. In the 27th minute, the “crimson” missed their first chance of the game with Dreksa's header but the ball went wide.
The Larnaca team almost scored a third goal in the 33rd minute with Farage to run against Kostic but his finish was not good.
In the following minutes, the Oltra team tried to calm down the game and manage their ultra lead. So nothing changed with AEK going to the locker room and leading 2-0.
B Part
In the second half the ENP footballers they came in clearly better than the first part. The “crimson” managed to reduce the deficit quite quickly, specifically in the 48th minute with Eman taking advantage of the confusion in AEK's defense and beating Biric with a shot.
This goal boosted the morale of Marinos Sacia's players who started to take steps slowly but failed to become threatening enough to reach the equalizing goal.
AEK players tried to manage in their favor lead mainly with possession of the ball. So the pace of the game dropped without having special phases afterwards.
A shot by Farage that was easily saved by Kostic in the 66th minute and a shot missed by the Englishman in the 76th minute were the phases in which he looked for a third goal to clear the match.
In the 79th minute, Naum entered the area and was overturned by Polykarpou with the referee showing the “white bullet”. The execution was taken over by Triskovski who was accurate scoring a hat-trick.
This was also the final score of the match with AEK returning to victory and at the top with one game more.
