In the Super League 1 match held on 26th November 2023, AEK Athens claimed a well-earned 1-0 victory over PAS Giannina. It was a game where efficiency and composure in front of the goal made a discernible difference.

AEK Athens opened their account in the first half of the game with a swift goal at 6:37 minutes, an advantage which they held onto for the entirety of the match. The solitary goal became the decisive factor pushing Athens to victory. PAS Giannina, despite their several efforts, failed to put their mark on the scoresheet.

In terms of infringements, both teams displayed a high level of discipline. PAS Giannina committed only three fouls, while AEK Athens were even more disciplined, with just two fouls. However, Giannina seemed to struggle with their emotional control in the second half, receiving two yellow cards (at 80:18 and 95:35 minutes), compared to Athens's single caution at 80:39 minutes. Despite the warnings, neither side was reduced to 10 men.

A significant factor in the match was set-piece opportunities. AEK Athens had twice as many corner-kick opportunities as PAS Giannina, with six to Giannina’s three. However, the successful conversion of these set pieces into goals remains unknown. Strikingly, both teams remained evenly poised in offside scenarios, with each falling into the referee's trap once.

The statistical data provided that focuses entirely on match events, however, does not offer insights into elements such as assists, shots on/off target, goalkeeper saves, or substitutions. These factors could also potentially have had a significant impact on the match outcome.

Conclusively, it was a match where AEK Athens capitalized on their opportunity early in the game, while PAS Giannina's frustrations were clearly visible in the second half, indicated by their yellow cards. The game underscores the often-said truth in football: taking and holding onto your chances when they come is crucial, regardless of the voluminous match statistics. AEK Athens embodied this football philosophy better and claimed their victory.
