Panathinaikos stunned Marseille on penalties to reach the Champions League play-off round on Tuesday, August 15.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wiped out Panathinaikos' 1-0 first-leg lead in the third qualifying round with his first Marseille goal inside two minutes at the Stade Velodrome. The former Arsenal and Barcelona striker completed the turnaround in first-half added time by turning home his second goal from Jonathan Clauss' low cross.
But there was a late twist, as just seconds after Matteo Guendouzi had seen a strong penalty appeal waved away, the Marseille midfielder was penalized for handball by VAR and Fotis Ioannidis dispatched the resulting 99th-minute spot-kick to force extra time. Vitinha had a goal ruled out by VAR for offsides against Ismaila Sarr in the build-up as the Greeks held on for penalties.
Filip Mladenovic stroked home the winning penalty as Panathinaikos won the shoot-out 5-3, with goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli's earlier save from Guendouzi proving crucial.
Panathinaikos will next face Braga, with the winners to secure their first group-stage appearance in over a decade.
