The match between Rangers and Pana could hardly be called the battle of disappointed teams, since even though both sides finished last in their group, they missed out on the play-off match for fifth position only because of their worse goal difference, so they could not be dissatisfied. Panathinaikos started by pressing high, thanks to which they gained some advantage, but could not create situations, just like their Scottish opponent. After the drinks break, something finally did happen: the tackle of the Scots on Sotirios Terzis was judged foul play inside the box, Aleksios Uzunidis stepped up to take the penalty kick, but the execution allowed us to conclude that he intended the ball as a surprise gift for the villagers. ... At the same time, Terzis, who merited the missed penalty, was not disturbed by his teammate's miss, because he got himself another opportunity, his shot, however, was blocked by Alfie Halliwell, back in the Scottish goal.

Rangers enjoyed some superiority in the first minutes of the second half, but the blue and whites could profit just as much of it as they did in the first half: nothing. The sporadic Greek counterattacks, however, bore fruit: Terzis received the ball in the 45th minute on the left side, cut inside, and then scored a huge goal with his right into the upper left corner. From then on, the formula was as follows: the Hellenes didn't really want to, the Scots were not really able to - the one-goal Pana success stayed, so the green and whites finished seventh.
