Supporters of Panathinaikos are calling for the immediate resignation of coach Yiannis Anastasiou after their side was eliminated from the Europa League by a club from Azerbaijan that was established just ten years ago.

A 2-2 draw in Athens on Thursday saw Azerbaijani side Qabala go through on the away goals rule.
PAO fans begun chanting against Anastasiou, almost all the players and club president Yiannis Alafouzos.

Qabala opened the scoring in just the sixth minute when a Dodô headed home from very close range to the bottom left corner following a corner.

PAO equalised in the 34th minute through their star player, Swedish striker Marcus Berg, whose left footed shot from the centre of the box went into the top left corner.

Dodô then scored his second of the night to put Qabala back in the lead as his right footed shot from the centre of the box flew into the top right corner.

PAO then grabbed one back through Nano González in the 78th minute when his right footed shot from outside the box found the net following a set piece situation.

That set up a frantic final ten minutes but PAO was unable to find the winning goal and was eventually booed off the field by the home supporters.

In Denmark, Thessaloniki club PAOK drew 1-1 with local side Brondby, giving PAOK a 6-1 win on aggregate.
In front of just 6630 supporters Brondby never looked like threatening PAOK’s commanding first leg 5-0 lead.

PAOK went ahead through a first half header by Ricardo Costa, only for Brondby to draw level through Elba Rashani, who capitalised on an error by PAOK’s goalkeeper.

In Istanbul Turkish club Fenerbahce defeated Atromitos 3-0 in the second leg of the Europa League qualifiers to go through 4-0 on aggregate.

The Brazilian striker Fernandao scored two goals. The third was an own goal by the Belarusian goalkeeper Andrey Gorbunov.
That leaves PAOK and Asteras Tripolis as the only two Greek sides in the Europa League this season.
