The game is set to take place despite the fact that there were delays due to the episodes outside. An announcement on the loudspeaker said that the slightest disruption in the stadium would cause penalties for Panathinaikos, playing at its home turf. Afterwards it was decided that the game would not take place due to the high risk that episodes would reoccur.
