With Erik Lamela scoring his first goal in an AEK shirt, Union beat PAOK 1-0 and took the lead in qualifying for the Greek Cup semi-finals.
The match had an intense third half, with the “two-headed man of the north” having complaints from the referee and complaining about the invasion of Marios Iliopoulos in his dressing room.
For his part, the captain of PAOK, Adelino Vieiraniaspoke about the challenges of AEK fans and players towards Razvan Lucescu, while emphasizing that nothing is over in view of the rematch.
Adelino Vieirina’s statements in detail
For the match: “We can’t say it’s fatigue, of course we have a lot of games ahead of us, but all the guys are focused and working for these matches, they want to play against these opponents. The game didn’t go our way today, it wasn’t the result and the image we want.
We have one more game. But I want to say some things, because not long ago our coach was punished here. Today he was challenged not only by the fans, but also by some AEK players.
After the end of the match he went directly to the dressing room so that he would not have any problem, but it is the first time and probably only in Greece that this happens, the president of the team enters the dressing room of the other team. I don’t know what’s going on, if they’re looking for them in this stadium, but that’s not normal.”
For the score and the second leg: “It’s a goal, we have a second game in Toumba. But we want to go further and see Sunday’s match against Atromitos. The issue is not the result, but what is being done here.
This is not normal, my coach has been punished, while the AEK players have not. Today Pereira was swearing at my coach on the pitch and no one said anything. The president of AEK entered our locker room.”
