The match summary was shaped by that early away advantage. Panathinaikos put themselves in front before the interval and forced Paksi FC to chase the tie from 0:1 down at half-time. That gave the visitors control of the bigger picture even before the home side found a way back into the game.
Paksi FC did respond in the second half and restored parity at 1-1, changing the mood of the contest and giving the home crowd a lift.
