AEK Athens delivered a crushing 6-0 defeat to Aberdeen at the OPAP Arena, inflicting the Scottish team's largest ever European loss. The win marked a significant milestone for the Greek side, while Aberdeen's struggles continued.
The match was a one-sided affair, with AEK Athens dominating from start to finish. The victory extended Aberdeen's winless run against Greek opposition to four matches (D1, L3), leaving the Scottish side searching for their first triumph.
Aberdeen's energetic start was rewarded with nothing as the Greek hosts took the lead in the 11th minute. Aboubakary Koita scored with a powerful strike from the edge of the box, courtesy of a precise pass from Orbelin Pineda.
The early bright spots from Aberdeen were extinguished as they conceded again just seven minutes later, leaving them on the back foot.

The early bright spots from Aberdeen were extinguished as they conceded again just seven minutes later, leaving them on the back foot.
Lazaros Rota's precise pass found Koita unmarked inside the box, and the striker made no mistake, firing the ball into the bottom-right corner to double his and Aberdeen's tally.
The Dons were left reeling, and the hosts wasted no time in adding to their lead, striking again with ruthless efficiency less than 10 minutes later.
Aberdeen's defensive woes continued when they lost possession in their own box, allowing Pineda to play in Niclas Eliasson. The Swede's low, hard shot was diverted into the net by Nicky Devlin, who was desperately trying to clear the ball.
The second goal effectively ended the contest, and AEK dominated possession for the remainder of the half, leaving Aberdeen to trail 2-0 at the break.
Aberdeen needed a strong start to the second half to mount a comeback, but instead, AEK made it 4-0. Franzdy Pierrot's initial shot hit the post, but Razvan Marin was on hand to score from the rebound, acrobatically firing the ball over his head in a stunning finish.
