Panathinaikos: Tetei Gave Hope, Benitez's Changes Raised Concerns

Panathinaikos drew 2-2 with Viktoria Plzen at OAKA, in a match where Andreas Tetei stood out with his performance. Giannis Seretis analyzes the match and Rafa Benitez's choices.

Despite falling behind, Panathinaikos managed to react, with Tetei having an excellent day. However, Benitez's changes in the second half did not yield the expected results, and the team failed to secure the victory.

Benitez chose to use Renato Sanches after a long time, giving him a role next to Bakasetas. Viktoria Plzen, who remain undefeated in the Europa League, underestimated Panathinaikos, giving them room to breathe. Tetei, with an impressive slalom, gave his team the lead.

Benitez's changes, such as the replacement of Tetei and the entry of Djuricic, raised questions. Despite the draw, Panathinaikos has chances of qualifying in the return leg, as Plzen showed defensive vulnerability.
