Panathinaikos defeats Kifisia and joins Panetolikos at the top of the league

Panathinaikos secured a 3-1 victory against Kifisia on September 10, 2026, in an overdue first-round match of the Stoiximan Super League at the OAKA stadium. The win, fueled by goals from Kangwa, Taborda, and Rastoder, moved the club to the top of the league standings with a perfect record alongside Panetolikos. Kifisia, managed by Leto, showed competitiveness throughout the match but suffered a setback when they were reduced to ten players in the 63rd minute following a handball by Antonise.

This result marks a significant milestone for coach Jacob Nielsen's team, which remains undefeated in its first 10 matches of the 2026-2027 season. This achievement equals a 25-year-old club record set under Giannis Kyrastas in 2001. The team has been bolstered by the integration of new signings like Louza and Ounahi, following their recent qualification for the Conference League.

Looking ahead, Panathinaikos faces a crucial test as they host Panetolikos on September 13, 2026, in a battle for the top spot. The club aims to surpass the historical 13-match unbeaten record held since 2001 by continuing their positive momentum in the upcoming fixtures against Kifisia, Kalamata, and Olympiacos.
