Antonis' five nines

On the 9th, at precisely 9 o'clock, 9 minutes before the end of the match (at 81'), the team's number 9 (Antonis Antoniadis) scores his 9th goal in the European Cup (one goal in the previous year against Vorwärts and eight in the current one), at Goodison Park and Panathinaikos leads 1-0 in front of the astonished Englishmen. The English will tie at 90+, but they will be eliminated at the rematch, on the 23rd of March, which ended in a tie.
