Match Report
Levski Sofia and AEK Athens played out a goalless draw in their UEFA Champions League play-off encounter in Sofia, with neither side able to find a breakthrough despite a combined 27 shots across the 90 minutes. AEK edged the territorial battle, holding 53% possession and registering three shots on target to Levski's one, though the Bulgarian hosts matched their visitors in overall endeavour with 12 total attempts of their own.
The second half brought a flurry of changes from both benches, with notable arrivals including Luka Jović and Lovro Majer for AEK after the hour mark, yet the introductions failed to unlock a stubborn Levski defensive shape. Levski's two corner kicks to AEK's one reflected a match where clear-cut chances were hard to come by for either team.
The stalemate means the tie remains open heading into the second leg. Interestingly, our pre-match AI model had rated a Levski Sofia win as the most likely outcome at 38%, a call that proved correct in the sense that the hosts avoided defeat on home soil.
