A late Konstantinos Galanopoulos goal separated the sides as AEK Athens defeated Dinamo Zagreb 2-1 in the opening leg of their UEFA Champions League 3rd qualifying round tie at Stadion Maksimir on Tuesday - making it seven matches unbeaten in all competitions for the visitors.

Substitute Galanopoulos made an impact following his introduction and put AEK Athens ahead in the 90th minute. The midfielder combined with Rodolfo Pizarro.

Matías Almeyda's side also found the net thanks to Steven Zuber on the way to victory, with Marko Bulat on target for the home side.

Bulat had given the home team the lead six minutes before half-time. That lead, however, did not last as Zuber hauled the sides level after 59 minutes. Levi García supplied the assist. That spurred on AEK and the Galanopoulos winner came after 90 minutes.
