Newly promoted Asteras Tripolis, a rapid climber up the country’s soccer divisions in recent seasons, stunned visiting Panathinaikos 1-0 yesterday for the club’s first-ever win in the country’s top-tier league. (Asteras has just entered Greece's top soccer division.)
Panathinaikos desperately looked for an equaliser and were perhaps unlucky not to be awarded a penalty themselves when Dimitris Salpigidis was tripped in the area in injury time but Asteras held on for a shocker win.
DF: Tripolitsiotes around the world, we know you're proud.
