Panathinaikos vs CSKA Sofia

Panathinaikos won their third Conference League league phase game in a row, beating CSKA Sofia 2-1 in Athens. A Vicente Taborda goal in the 68th minute decided it, after the visitors had pulled level just before the break. Davide Calabria put the hosts ahead in the 41st minute, with Taborda setting him up with a heel pass. Dinis Almeida answered three minutes later for CSKA Sofia, finishing low from an unmarked position after a pass from Stefano Sensi. Taborda had already been denied twice by the visiting goalkeeper before he got his goal, set up by Andrews Tetteh. A Rastoder effort a minute earlier had been ruled out for offside. There were no red cards and no penalties. The result leaves Panathinaikos with three wins from three and nine points, still at the top of the league phase. CSKA Sofia leave Athens with nothing to show for a game they had level at the interval.
