Important Moments

  • 29 August: Atromitos achieve their first win in European matches, as well as their first away win in Europe, beating AZ Alkmaar 0–2. Unfortunately, this win was insufficient to give them the ticket for the group stage, since Atromitos had lost the first leg at home 1–3, with Alkmaar proceeding on away goals.
