Champions League: AEK Athens beats LASK 1-0 thanks to Marin

AEK Athens began their Champions League campaign with a 1-0 victory against LASK on Tuesday, September 8, during the first matchday of the group stage.

The match was decided in the 21st minute. Razvan Marin found the opening with a curled free kick, giving the Greek club the lead.

This goal remained the only score of the match. AEK maintained their lead until the end of the game and thus secured their first three points in the new league phase.

For LASK, who are experiencing the group stage of the Champions League for the first time this season, this narrow defeat leaves regrets after a match that remained open for a long time.

AEK thus takes an initial points advantage in a league phase where each team plays eight matches before the final standings in January.
