THE Ezekiel Ponce “burst out” by scoring more goals in one game than he had in the whole season with her AEK. The hat-trick in 5-0 over Atromitos in Peristeri it was for the Argentine essentially the first of his career, as he had so far only made one more appearance for Lille’s second team in the French fourth division on March 24, 2018 against Viry Chatillon.

The last to score a hat-trick away from home was Nikos Lymberopoulos, on November 9, 2003 and in the 7-2 over Akratitos in Ano Liosia. The record with four goals in an away match is held by George Petridis from 6-2 over Paneleussiniakou on December 16, 1961.
AEK had scored five goals away from home since 1-5 against Panserraikos on March 8, 2009, while their last away win with a five-goal margin was the aforementioned 7-2 over Akratitos.
