Zarouri Secures Europa League Playoff Spot for Panathinaikos with Late Goal

Panathinaikos secured their place in the Europa League playoffs after a 1-1 draw against Ferencvaros in Budapest. Moroccan forward, Abderrazak Zarouri, who came on as a substitute, scored the equalizing goal for Panathinaikos in the 86th minute, cancelling out Ferencvaros's earlier penalty goal. Despite Panathinaikos being the better team for much of the match, they had to wait until the end to secure the result they needed. Sviderski received a yellow card and will miss the next match against Roma. Pelistri missed significant chances in the first half.
