According to El Pais, Koita gave the Greek side the lead following an individual play where he faced Cucurella and fired a shot into the top corner that Courtois could not stop. The report notes that Courtois had previously prevented a goal with his foot. AEK Athens, which includes former Real Madrid player Luka Jovic, had previously won one home match against Linz before losing to Shakhtar and Manchester City.
