AEK Athens inflict heavy loss on Tatabanya

EHF / Tiago Nogueira

AEK are the first Greek side to play in the group phase of Europe’s second-tier men’s club competition and started in the best way possible with a great win against the Hungarian side.

Mylonas was inspired and made a great game in Chalkida. Furthermore, the goals of Florido Moya and Tziras made all the difference in a game where the Greek team went full throttle and never let their advantage slip again.

Greek smiles on day one

AEK Athens were stronger all throughout the game and the comfortable victory is just a consequence of that. And the greek smiles on day one due in large part to the trio of Mylonas-Moya-Tziras (19 goals combined).

It was one of the best appearances in the history of the club and absolutely one of the best with me as a coach. We played against a great opponent, the third-best team in Hungary and we played really well. We achieved a big win for the Greek handball. We knew that we were against a team from another level, but we made a great appearance and won the game
