Elmin Rastoder seals Panathinaikos 3:1 win over Kifisia
Rastoder scored the late goal that completed Panathinaikos's 3:1 win over Kifisia in the postponed first-round Super League fixture.
Elmin Rastoder scored to seal Panathinaikos's 3:1 victory over Kifisia in the postponed first-round match of the Greek Super League, played on September 10, 2026. The Macedonian international finished off a strong home performance by the Athens club and helped secure three points in a fixture that had been rearranged earlier in the calendar.
The strike is Rastoder's second of the 2026/27 season for Panathinaikos. He had previously found the net in the UEFA Conference League qualifying phase against Paks, when he came off the bench and scored in the 85th minute to level the tie at 2-2.
Rastoder joined Panathinaikos this summer from Thun on a four-year contract and has been gradually earning more playing time under the coaching staff. His involvement off the bench and in the starting XI has increased as the team settles into the new campaign.
Growing role for the forward
The 3-1 scoreline against Kifisia underlined Panathinaikos's attacking options beyond their established starters, with Rastoder providing a late contribution that wrapped up the win. The club will look to build on the result as it balances domestic league commitments with European fixtures.
For Rastoder personally, the goal is another step in adapting to Greek football and an important boost for his confidence ahead of the busy autumn schedule. The forward's progress will be monitored closely by supporters and national-team staff alike.
Panathinaikos now turn their focus to upcoming league and continental matches, hoping to maintain momentum after the convincing home performance on September 10, 2026.
