The game was marked by incidents and specifically, when Aitor after scoring for Panathinaikos celebrated in front of the stands of the PAOK ultras. As a result, he a stone was thrown to his hand, injuring him with tensions occurring between the players of both teams immediately after. The referee interrupted the match and in fact, as he headed to the locker room, he was holding the stone that hit the player.[2]
