AEK Athens have made a dream start in the Europa League campaign in Group D against Croatian side Rijeka, as the Athenian team came away with a huge victory (2-1). Mantalos opened the score for visiting AEK on 16 minutes, with home side getting back on equal terms in the 29th minute. AEK clinched the 3 points on 62 minutes with a Christodoulopoulos goal.

Executive director and former manager of AEK Dusan Bajevic has no doubt that Daniel Majstorovic would do an excellent work as club's technical director.

First draw after 22 home games (19 victories, two losses) this season for AEK, 0-0 against PAOK.  Panathinaikos won 1-0 against Panionios for the first time after four games between the two teams in 2015-16 season.
