Aris’ joy was short-lived as the leader equalized the match minutes later. Midway through the second half, Ponce scored a great header to make it 2-3, keeping AEK in the lead.
Morón’s Determination Leads to Equalizing Penalty
But Morón was not ready to let his team lose. He fell in the box twice, but the referee did not signal the first penalty. The first fall was due to a push in the box after getting away from the defender with a nutmeg, and the second was due to a kick. However, it was clear that the Marbella player was destined to be the protagonist. In the added time, a clear handball by defender Vida gave Morón the opportunity to equalize the match from a penalty. The Marbella player did not miss from eleven meters, adjusting his shot to the right post of the goalkeeper and securing the definitive 3-3 tie, which keeps Aris comfortably in fifth position.
