AEK Athens secured a valuable victory against AEL in the 24th round of the Greek Super League, thanks to a goal by Harold Moukoudi. The Cameroonian defender scored the only goal of the match in the 5th minute, provisionally placing his team at the top of the league standings.
After a disappointing draw against Volos Football Club, Marko Nikolić's team was eager to bounce back in front of their home crowd at the Opap Arena. Moukoudi, a key player in the starting lineup, not only unexpectedly opened the scoring but also solidified the defense, frustrating AEL's attackers throughout the match.
AEL's coach, Savvas Pantelidis, attempted to reorganize his attack in the second half, but AEK Athens' defense, led by Moukoudi, remained impenetrable. This goal marks Moukoudi's second of the season in the Greek Super League.
Harold Moukoudi, born in France on November 27, 1997, chose to represent Cameroon internationally. Before joining AEK Athens in August 2022, he played for Le Havre and AS Saint-Étienne. He was also loaned to Middlesbrough. Moukoudi signed a four-year contract with the Greek club.
AEK Athens, a historic club in Greek football, was founded in 1924. The club has won numerous Super League championships and plays its home matches at the Opap Arena. The Greek Super League runs from August to May, with playoffs to determine the champion.
This victory allows AEK Athens to position themselves favorably in the race for the Super League title. Moukoudi's performances, both in defense and attack, are a valuable asset to the club.
