Report
Stadium: Toumba Stadium
Attendance: 21,431
Referee: Georgios Kominis (Thesprotia)
Man of the Match: —
Note: In the 90th minute PAOK opened the score with Varela's header, while PAOK's footballer, Mauricio who participated in the effort, was in a prominent offside position. While the referee Kominis showed goal, after a few seconds and after protests of AEK players to the linesman Pontikis and after an discussion between the him and referee they decided to cancel the goal as offside. When this decision was made, the owner of PAOK, Ivan Savvidis entered the field with bodyguards in order to get the team and leave. When the footballer of PAOK, Vieirinha made sense not to do so, he attacked referee Kominis. Shortly after, he pulled out his jacket and a gun was revealed being attached to his belt. Then the referee of Kominis decided to stop the match and enter the teams in the locker rooms, for the threats that he had to himself, his assistants and members of the AEK staff by Ivan Savvidis and Lubos Michel. The referee came in the field with PAOK players to continue the match and with the score 1–0 for PAOK, but AEK players refused to come out in fear for their lives. The match was interrupted with the score 1–0 in favour for PAOK, but on court AEK Athens was awarded the 0–3 victory without a match.[56]
