Reduced to ten from the 6th minute of play following the expulsion of Rota for a collision as the last defender, AEK Athens opened the scoring in the 26th minute through their Franco-Cameroonian defender Harold Moukoudi (ex -ASSE).
The club of the French world champion Djibril Sidibeentered in the 60th minute, then extinguished all suspense thanks to a late goal from Paolo Fernandes (90th +2).
Memories of the violent clashes between hooligans of the two clubs in 2017, already on the occasion of the Cup final in Volos, remain vivid. Fearing new excesses, the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) has long sought a stadium capable of hosting the final with optimal security measures.

But faced with organizational difficulties and the refusal of many cities, in Greece and abroad, the EPO finally decided to hold the match behind closed doors in the Panthessaliko stadium in Volos.
Thanks to the victory of AEK Athens, already qualified for the Champions League play-offs thanks to the championship, it is Olympiakos, third in the Super League, who will play the preliminary rounds of the Europa League.
