Steven Zuber also wins the cup with AEK Athens after the championship title. In the final, the team from the Greek capital defeated PAOK Thessaloniki 2-0.
With a red card against defender Lazaros Rota in the 6th minute, the final started very badly for AEK. Despite being outnumbered, the Athens team took the lead in the 20th minute thanks to a goal from Cameroon’s Harold Moukoudi and defended. Zuber launches his teammate Paolo Fernandes shortly before the end, who makes everything clear with the second goal.
Final victory without spectators
For AEK Athens, after four last defeats between 2017 and 2020, it is the first cup victory since 2016 and the third double victory after 1939 and 1978.
Because both teams had previously refused to play in the other stadium, the association had to look for an alternative. Even a transfer abroad was considered. However, Cyprus refused to host the event for security reasons – last year’s cup final was overshadowed by riots. The match was eventually played in the Greek city of Volos and without spectators.
