AEK Athens finished the night with a 4-0 win over Levski Sofia, and the scoreline leaves very little room for argument. This was the kind of second half that turns a comfortable lead into a statement result, even if the late stages were more about control than chaos.
The fourth official announced 3 minutes of added time, but there was never any realistic sense that Levski Sofia were going to drag themselves back into it. Instead, the final minutes were defined by a mix of substitutions and one more reminder that AEK Athens were still switched on at the back.
Late moments
Thomas Strakosha made the key late stop, saving David Kusso's right-footed shot in the top left corner. That was the sort of save that matters even in a one-sided game: the score was already secure, but the goalkeeper still had to do his job properly.
There was also movement from the bench, with Kervin Arriaga replacing Razvan Marin and Mijat Gacinovic replacing Luka Jovic. Those changes helped close the match down, while Zine was shown the yellow card for a bad foul in the closing stages.
In the end, the headline is the simplest one. AEK Athens controlled the second half, kept Levski Sofia at arm's length, and wrapped up a 4-0 win without ever looking in real danger of wasting it.
