Panathinaikos twice came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw against Paksi FC in the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round. The Greek side dominated possession and created plenty of chances, but the Hungarian visitors were clinical with their limited opportunities, taking the lead on two separate occasions.
Milán Pető opened the scoring for Paksi in the 35th minute, but Adriano Jagušić equalised just before half-time. Milán Gyorfi restored Paksi's advantage in the 57th minute, and it looked like they would hold on until Elmin Rastoder's 85th-minute strike levelled the tie once more.
The statistics paint a clear picture of the game: Panathinaikos had 71% ball possession, 19 total shots to Paksi's 8, and 517 accurate passes to 154. Yet the visitors' goalkeeper made five saves, and their two big chances were both converted, while Panathinaikos missed one big chance. Honesty demands saying the hosts were outplayed where it mattered most, despite their dominance of the ball.
