Match Recap
Shakhtar Donetsk needed a response, and they found one. Lovro Majer put AEK Athens FC ahead inside half an hour in this UEFA Champions League opener, but Pedrinho leveled things six minutes later and the Ukrainian side never let go from there. The game stayed level deep into the second half until Vinícius Tobias broke the deadlock in the 80th minute, and Gleiker Mendoza sealed it with a third just six minutes after that, turning a tense night into a 3-1 comeback win. AEK's points tally and winning form coming into this one made the setback sting more, while Shakhtar's victory gave them their first points on the board after a rocky opening. Four different goals, a lead lost and recovered, and a late surge that buried AEK in the space of eleven minutes: this one has every twist you want from European football. Watch how Tobias and Mendoza turned a scrappy affair into a statement finish in the highlights below.
