H A Against the backdrop of its continuity in European events welcomes the Mars Limassol (21:00 COSMOTE SPORT 1, Live from Newsit.gr) in the 2-2 rematch of Cyprus for the 3rd Qualifying Round of the Conference League.
AEK, despite its ideal start with two quick goals in the first game, failed to maintain the lead, with the Union equalizing before the first half was completed, showing a problematic picture. Although Marco Nikolic searched for the victory after the shock of the equalizer, Mars Limassol’s defensive orientation did not allow him to win, which he would claim at OPAP ARENA, whatever he had done against Hapoel Ber.
The winner of the match will face the winner of the couple’s winner Serif Tirafol – Anderlecht, while the loser bid farewell to Europe, a scenario that in the Union camp does not in any way want to think.

It is recalled that the entire northern horseshoe of the stadium, where the organized AEK fans are hosted will be closed as there has been a punishment by UEFA.
