Greek superclub, represented by Lithuanian Raimondas Žutautas, became the winners of the Greek Cup for the 16th time in the club's history, defeating their long-time rivals 3-1 yesterday. This is the first title for the "Greens" after an eight-year break, but "Panathinaikos" now aims for a double success, as they are also the leaders of the Greek championship.
In this match, the Lithuanian appeared on the field in the 77th minute, replacing Michalsen.
Eurofootball.com apologizes for previously providing incorrect information that Žutautas did not appear on the field.
The first goal of the match was scored in the third minute by Papadopoulos. He did it with his head, after a great pass from defender Marcus Muncho. In the 65th minute of the match, "Olympiacos" equalized the score - Djovanis scored a goal after a pass from Djordjevičius.
However, "Panathinaikos", who looked stronger throughout the match, once again took the lead after four minutes - Cyprus national team striker Konstantinou won a duel with Anatolakis and managed to score a goal. The victory was sealed in the 81st minute by the same Konstantinou, who was named the best player of the match after the game.
The last time the "Greens" won the title was in 1995, when an extra time goal in the cup final brought them a 1-0 victory against "AEK".
